Jeeps are not a go fast vehicle... there's a thing called death wobble.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Death wobble is truly terrifying. Seriously do not let a new driver behind the wheel of anything with a solid front axle.
My 2001 Landcruiser with over 1,000,000 kms on the clock had a solid front axle and never did anything like a death wobble. For that matter, nor did our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maybe the longer wheelbase helped
Mostly happens when bushings are worn out
I'm thinking entirely too hard for a meme about the aerodynamics of a pokemon, but there's no way that a literal Bulbasaur can beat an actual car, right?
Bulbasaur has curves, jeep is a series of boxes. So very possibly bulbasaur wins.
Series of boxes built around the same basic shape as a WWII vehicle, only bigger.
I remember when I learned that jeep Windshields fold down not because it’s a cool lifestyle thing, but because it allows you to stack them on top of each other in the holds of liberty ships… didn’t have to worry about roll bars in ww2 I suppose.
Bulbasaur even has a sweet spoiler for that extra traction.
Well to win, the jeep would have to be running, so most would be disqualified before the match even starts. If the ref is feeling nice they can allow up to 3 attempts to start the jeep.
What if Bulbasaur was wearing heelys?
It would be too cool to exist
It's not clear if they properly matched the Reynolds numbers and other similarity parameters to properly make this comparison.
to be fair, the jeep is a car, and not a particularly aerodynamic one, and one that can go much much faster than a pokemon ever could conceive of so.
i'm no fan of jeeps, but no one's buying them for speed
I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.
Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.
You're understanding how fast that road can be driven by a vehicle made to go fast on dirt roads!
I don't often see Jeep Wranglers, but they're invariably driven by hairdressers and gay bar owners in my country
If you don't mind, what counrtry?
That's pretty weird honestly
“Hey, barkeep! Can you make me a Bulbasour neat? Thanks!”
For aerodynamics, aren't most cars are facing the wrong way?
The ideal is something like a reverse wedge, if I remember correctly
Whoa, that low-pressure butt area can such the poop right out of that monster.
you mean to tell me a large vehicle is less aerodynamic than a small animal that doesnt exist?
fascinating.
Well the shape exists, and I don't think the size matters in aerodynamics? I'm not sure.
the size doesnt matter for aerodynamics, generally, but it matters for physics.
Drag is a square or cube scaling, i forget which, so at higher speeds it increases disproportionately.
A larger object has more air to move out of the way, which means more drag. It's more capable of moving that air with it's increased volume. But then you also start running into volume to surface area scaling issues. Elephants are really slow for a reason, and it's the same reason small animals are comparatively fast.
