Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is Coming to Netflix on December 14

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming to Netflix on December 14th and will be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play as well as in the Netflix mobile app. Starting today, subscribers will be able to pre-register to download Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each updated for mobile.

GTA 3 is where it all began, with a massive open world, a wild cast of characters from every walk of life, and the freedom to explore at will. Vice City takes you back to the 1980s and follows Tommy Vercetti’s tale of betrayal and revenge in a neon-soaked tropical town. San Andreas transports players to the early 90s where Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson is framed and forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition adds to a growing catalog of more than 80 mobile games, with must-play titles across all genres adding further value to all Netflix memberships — including through one of the most iconic series in history, without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees,” said Netflix.

Man Builds Road Legal Bumper Car Modeled After 1953 Lusse Auto Skooter

Street legal flying cars are nothing new, but this road legal bumper car modeled after a 1953 Lusse Auto Skooter. Dan Hryhorcoff wanted a project to work on during the pandemic, so this idea popped into his head after remembering a vehicle he saw at an amusement park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania called Knoebels.

Power comes from a Chevrolet Aveo-sourced 1.6L 4-cylinder engine making 108 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, while the front of the bumper car is a single motorcycle wheel. This means this street legal bumper can can turn very sharply. It measures 13 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5.5 feet tall, making it twice the size of a standard bumper car that you see in amusement parks, but the pole out back is just for aesthetics.

I decided to copy one of those. I measured, and took photos, and made templates, and whatever I needed to, to copy the car as well as I can. Any project I’ve ever chose was a project that I knew I can get through it, but I had something new to learn in the process. There were always some unknowns. I’d rather big projects, rather than a dozen little ones,” said Hryhorcoff.

Auto Shop Transforms Honda Accord Into an Acura NSX Knockoff

H/t: Car Scoops
An Indonesia-based auto shop has transformed a 2005 Honda Accord into a second-generation Acura NSX knockoff of sorts. All of the body panels have been replaced, while large air intakes and headlights complete the front end look.

The rear features an LED light bar, painted diffuser, and large black mesh grilles. Unfortunately, you won’t find a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, supplemented by three electric motors, making a combined 573 hp. More than likely, this NSX knockoff is powered by a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine producing 160 hp and 161 lb-ft of torque. On the bright side, the shop is asking around $19,740 USD, but they’re located in Jakarta, so you may run into more than one issue after purchasing the vehicle.

Auto Enthusiast Spends 100-Days Building Miniature Wooden Tesla Cybertruck Replica

Tesla Cybertruck knockoffs have existed ever since Elon Musk first announced the vehicle back in 2019, but ND Woodworking Art wanted to create something a bit more realistic. So, the artist spent just 100-days modeling and handcrafting a miniature wooden Tesla Cybertruck replica, complete with a matching Cyberquad.

This Tesla Cybertruck replica does not use a base vehicle, such as a Pontiac Fiero or Prius C, but rather a custom steel frame. Suspension components, as well as the wheels, are added before the electric drivetrain components are installed. After the wooden panels are cut and affixed onto the hand welded steel frame, work begins on the interior. There are a total of four wooden seats in a 2 + 2 configuration, while the armrest hides the shifter. Yes, ND Woodwoking ARt also created a custom wooden Tesla Cyberquad that fits in the Cybertruck’s bed, just like the concept vehicle.
