It reminds me of my old Citroen BX, what a slab of unworthiness that thing was.
I really have to wonder how the Steinwinter was supposed to be pratical, with such dreadful clearance?
A case of whimsical design, perhaps.
- jcgrillo 5mo agoYou might be surprised how low the clearance is on some over-the-road trailers. Especially the long ones for hauling heavy equipment, their breakover angles are atrocious. Most roads are navigable regardless, and they know how to pick routes that avoid impassible ones. Low as it is, this truck's clearance probably isn't as limiting as you might think.
- bfkwlfkjf 5mo agoMy father had a Citroen bx, I'd like to hear more why you think it's a "slab of unworthiness". I never had any contact with it as an adult.
- aa-jv 5mo agoNot the OP but I know the feelings about the Citroen BX - it was just such a drab design, looked like a shipping box, and was just generally a dull car to be around. Best feature was its suspension, which would lift the front end up during acceleration until it got to a 'settled', floating position .. that always kind of felt like doing light speed in the millenium falcon or something similiarly odd in a very, very boring car.
- ginko 5mo agoWhat do you mean? The BX looked great. Nice 80s futurism before everything turned into this terrible rounded blob later-on.
- rigonkulous 5mo agoIts an acquired taste I guess. I never liked the look of mine, it was brown and distasteful. Was sure fun when the suspension kicked in though.
