Subaru Volkswagen Car Invention/Functioning



This is a Subaru Volkswagen Car Invention. It is a functioning vehicle. It has two engines, one in the front and one in the back. They both function. The asking price is $7,000 or best offer.

The front half is a 1985 Subaru GL 4 cylinders. The back end is a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cylinders.


Esta es una invencion. Es un Subaru Volkswagen. El vehiculo si funciona. Tiene dos motores, uno al frente y una atras. Los dos funcionan. El precio es $7,000 o mejor oferta.

El frente es un Subaru GL del 1985, 4 cilindros. La parte de atras es un Volkswagen Beetle del 1973, 4 cilindros.

I'll take "Why Puerto Rico Isn't a World Power" for $400, Alex.

Ever wonder what happens when you give your cattle a nice shampoo, conditioner, and blow-dry?

You get fluffy cattle.

+1 to the first person who correctly identifies what specific element of this T-shirt tickles my pickle, someone who got into computing in the very early 80s:

The fact that it's clearly made using a very early 80's version of photoshop?

I don't know the technicalities but the way the cloud's outline is sorta split up as would often happen on old monitors.

*ding*

Due to the way color works in NTSC and PAL, home computers of the early 80s displayed unusual color artifacts when attempting to draw B&W graphics on the screen of a color monitor. The Apple II, in particular, tended to leave green and purple edges on the border of high-rez graphics and 80 column text






Programmers eventually learned to exploit this artifact, and for this reason, a "black and white" graphic displayed on a composite color monitor often produced superior color rendering to a "color" graphic displayed on an RGB monitor.
