    I don’t know if I’d want to shuttlecraft with no warp drive.

    My friends family growing up had a white one. We called it the space shuttle, and were astronauts every year for Halloween.

      My uncle bought a white one to sell. He wanted too much for it and wouldn’t budge on the price.

      It rotted in his lot.

      I would’ve loved to rock that thing.

    What happens if one of those things rolls over and lands on its roof? Is there some kind of structural support or does the entire cabin collapse in on itself?

      They hadn’t invented safety yet.

      I grew up in a town where large families were common so these (and the Chevrolet/Oldsmobile flavours) were everywhere in the early 1990s and completely gone by the late 1990s. I have to assume they were of poor quality even by old GM standards, or the kids who rode them in elementary school would have taken them as cheap first cars in high school.

      It was the 90s. If your parents had a Ford Explorer or an Isuzu Trooper, you were living on borrowed time.

      I mean it looks like there’s a solid b-pillar and d-pillar. It’s not a roll cage but it should be fine

    Hey baby, I saw you checking out my ride. How would you like to go out for a nice seafood dinner?

    Futuristic, but very unsafe.

    The GM U-Body, one of the prettiest pieces of crap ever released.

    If I recall, this is based off the W-Body car platform, which was already challenged with things like front suspension alignment and integrity, and adds even more weight.

    This went on to underpin the underwhelming Montana/Uplander/etc, as well as the Aztek.
