The ultra weird looking De'Longhi Dolce Gusto Pod coffee machine
Oh, some good - and definitely weird - ones here.
I’m picking this one from leestrong
G0OSE had me convinced that he had the winner with the V12 machine, but leestrong’s has a steampunk look to it that makes what it’s doing very clear.
Take it away, leestrong!
Thank you northbeard!

Porsche 914 Plastic Fuel Lines
For all of its sturdy German reputation, Porsche has a bit of a history cheapening out on its cars. Famously, the 914 came with plastic fuel lines to save money. The plastic would get brittle over time and crack, leaking gas right onto the engine. Not great.
You would think something as important as gas and brake lines would be made of better materials. In states that use road salt in the winter especially.

One thing I will not cheap out is food and water. You’re the new boss RC! 
Lets hope the 6 trillion dollar plan will give U.S. infrastructure the much needed upgrade.
Thanks!
Show me pics of things that are bad ideas.
It’s like Mad Max, but wet.
Whoa… not like MM.
Like MM3 (“Thunderdome”), maybe. 
Facing the wrong way while whale watching is sort of a bad idea…
