Not the homage to Serenity Reaver camo he might have been thinking it was...

What, why! This is creative, and I appreciate the spirit of it all, but... yikes.

If reavers came in smart fortwo's I wouldn't be creaped out by them. Unless this has a diesel that can pump out copious amounts of smoke...

Oh I know he's trying to make his car look like Firefly trying to disguise itself as a Reaver ship,. but he just took my least favorite car and equated it to one of my favorite shows.

So the Firefly class of space ships was supposed to be classic. You loved it, it'd love you. Definitely not a Smart car.

Exactly. Loved the show, love the ship, hate the Smart. Not the homage I was wanting to see.

He aims to misbehave apparently.

See, I would have gone with something like a 240z or Datsun 510.

Me too, it'd need to kind of have the lines of Firefly, run rich, and preferable "roll coal". For some reason I keep thinking a Nissan 240 with a patina and a diesel motor transplant (not that you would ever do that to a 240...).

Ha! I just commended on someone else comment that a 240 would have fit better, great minds.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a 1986 F350, myself.

I was leaning small Mercedes because of the diesel, but the 240 sort of matches the nose better. I decided to disregard the shape of Serenity, because there's just not a car that looks like that... at all.

Yea, you're talking about the white one with the black accents?

True, the Firefly class ship really has no direct counterpart in the car world.

Small Merc, hmm, what was the Crossfire based on? That was a Mercedes right? It's kinda got the Serenity look.

I was thinking a rusted out one if you were going to go all out Reaver with it. I'm also think the Crossfire kinda has the Serenity look to it as well.

I never even considered trucks but that actually works rather well. We should commission someone to do a mock-up of all these as Serenity.

Sir, do you really mean to turn that car into an abomination to make a suicidal attempt at passing through the Reaver neighborhood?

-I mean to ruin a smart car. A smart car is a pathetic attempt at alliance control to tell people what to drive to save the environment, and I won't have that.

SLK320? Hmmmm....

Yea, I could see that. Not so much the Crossfire though. I don't really have any good reason, I just don't see the Crossfire being Serenity.

My main thought behind the Crossfire is I'd feel less bad about Reavering (?) one of those then I would a 240.

Now that's the truth right there! Ha ha.

not that you would ever do that to a 240.....
someone swapped a cummins 4bt into an S13.... but youtube is blocked where i am, so I cannot show you.

It was either that, or

"My days of not taking a smart car seriously are certainly coming to a middle..."

or:

"What that guy planned, and what actually happened, ain't exactly similar."

But, those are just some of the things that come to mind, since I aim to misbehave.

Are you certain it's a Firefly thing and not just a Halloween thing?

Wouldn't a Reaver ship need more than just one complete skeleton? Shouldn't there be like big pieces of skin and a bunch of ears and a hand or a foot here and there?

POD > dawnell 09/16/2013 at 15:24

It could be dressed up for Halloween. The paint, grappling hook and spines are what makes me think he's trying to dress it up like Serenity.

Nah... It is hard to associate a ship like that with any car.

It is a cargo ship, with crew and passenger accommodation... It is almost more like an RV with a toy-hauler bay in the back, or something.

It would be interesting to seen an RV with a wedge-shape front, styled like the bridge of Serenity, and painted in grey tones. Maybe big side mirrors that look like primary buffer panels, and hopefully they don't fall off.

Great.... now I am thinking that if I ever make/get lots of money... how to custom build a Toy-hauler RV with a Mule ATV or small SUV in the back, and figure out how to deploy two motorcycle 'shuttles' from the side slide-outs...
