Here are some of the weirdest cars you can see in the world. This article will show you some of the most bizarre cars ever made, such as the Suzuki X-90 and the Nissan Pulsar NX.
The Isetta
The Isetta was an unusual car. It was also known as a bubble car. Because it was a bubble-shaped car, there were no side window options. Additionally, the front end hinged inwards to permit access for the driver. The Isetta had a single door that opened to reveal a seating area and two headlamps. They were located halfway up the body. The reverse lights were located under the bumper.

The Suzuki X-90
The X-90 concept car was unveiled at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show. It was based upon the chassis of the global Suzuki Sidekick. The X-90 was unique because it was a coupe-like body that has very limited off-road capabilities. The X-90 had two bolstered thrones inside and a small trunk.
The Nissan Pulsar NX
The Nissan Pulsar NX could have only been created in the 1980s. Without that era, the car's blocky and angular design would have never been possible. This week's Bizarre Car of the Week focuses on the bizarre design and unique features of the Nissan Pulsar NX. Let's start by taking a look back at some of its most famous features.
Hummer H2
The interior of the Hummer H2 is a strange mix of comfort and industrial-looking features. The controls and stereo are quite large. But this is an extremely comfortable ride, despite the low ground clearance. It feels even more unnatural with exposed bolt heads adorning the dashboard. This odd combination is what makes the H2 a truly unique car.
Renault Avantime
The Renault Avantime is a peculiar car with a quirky name. It was a part French, part English portmanteau. Avant meant "before" and time meant "time". It was meant to translate to "modern coupe", which was a nice meaning, but not sufficient to enable the car's success. Instead, the Avantime plays on opposites, with an animal-like front end and a squat back. Charles Moss and other critics called the car "a hideous foolishness".

Toyota Multipla
If you've ever seen a Multipla, you know it's a strange looking car. The windshield, which is slightly higher than the rest of the car, and the instrument cluster at the centre are not great design features. You'll also notice the door card's thinness if you're right handed. This is great news for right-hand drivers as it makes it easier to place the Multipla on the road.
FAQ
What's the difference between a mechanic and an automotive technician?
The two are similar but not identical. Both a mechanic and an automotive technician can repair cars.
A mechanic must have good manual dexterity and be able to perform simple tasks quickly. They must also be able to diagnose problems accurately and repair them effectively.
An automotive technician must be more technically proficient than a mechanic. They must be able to read blueprints and use tools such as drills and wrenches.
They should be able safely to perform complex procedures. They must be familiar with all types of electrical and engine systems.
They must also be capable of understanding how parts interact.
The result is that a mechanic often earns less than an auto technician. There are many job opportunities in both.
What are the qualifications for an automotive technician
You must have graduated high school or GED, with excellent English and math grades. You also need to be able to read and write well. The written test will be passed and you will then have to take several practical exams before you can begin work.
How can I fix my automobile as a hobby.
If you are interested in cars, why not take it on as a hobby? You could repair them yourself, buy parts for them and sell them. Or just have fun with them. This would be a wonderful hobby if you're looking to find something completely different.
It isn't easy to turn it into a full time job. It takes dedication and hardwork. And you'll need to invest a lot of money too.
If you don't have any good reasons to be involved in cars, it may be better to just let it go.
How can I prepare for a apprenticeship as a mechanic?
Understanding what you're getting into is crucial. It is important to know the basics of how cars work. This will make it easy to find the right place to start your first day in the garage.
You should also know how to fix common problems such as tires or broken lights.
You will be able to diagnose and repair problems yourself.
It is also important to know how the different pieces fit together in order to put them together again.
Finally, you need to be able to safely and efficiently use tools.
These are all things that will make you a competent mechanic.

How To
How to Become an Automotive Technician
An automotive technician performs repairs and maintains vehicles. He/she can be found at auto shops, garages and service centers. He/she helps customers fix their cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, lawn mowers, snowmobiles, tractors, trailers, farm equipment, planes, helicopters, jet skis, watercraft, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, golf carts, etc. An automotive technician must be able to diagnose problems and make repairs quickly, safely, accurately, and efficiently.
If you want to be an automotive technician, you need an associate degree from vocational school. After completing this program, he/she must pass the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification exam. ASE stands in for American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The ASE certification test consists two sections. One section tests knowledge of mechanical components, while the other section tests skills in practical areas. To take the test, you must visit one of the approved testing locations. These locations can be found online, or by contacting your local car dealer.
After passing the exam, a candidate must take a state exam before being licensed as an automobile technician. This process is different depending on where you live. Some states require that candidates attend training courses, while others permit them to learn independently. Some states issue licenses to technicians as soon as they get their license. Others wait until they have worked at least six months as an automotive technician.
Apply to your local dealership to become an automotive technician. Most employees who are hired start as apprentices. Apprenticeship programs usually last three years. During this time, a student learns how to perform basic repairs, such as changing oil, adjusting brakes, replacing tires, cleaning spark plugs, inspecting engine compartments, and performing routine maintenance. Advanced repairs can be done by some students, including replacing shocks, installing air filters and repairing engines. Schools offer classes during business hours. Some schools also offer evening classes when needed.
Once a student completes his/her apprenticeship, he/she becomes a journeyman. Journeymen spend typically four to five years learning to install major systems such as transmissions and differentials, steering gear, suspensions and drive shafts. They learn how to do complex repairs such as remanufacturing engines, rebuilding transmissives, and troubleshooting electronic components. Employers prefer to hire journeymen as they are familiar with the job and can anticipate customer needs.
A candidate who passes all the necessary exams and gets a license might be interested in opening his/her own business. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there were nearly 1.7 million jobs available for automotive mechanics in 2010. This number was expected increase 18% between 2009 - 2020. Candidates who decide to open their own business should be prepared to invest thousands in equipment and supplies.
The salary of an automotive technician will depend on many factors including where you live, your education level, experience and the type of employer. On average, an unemployed person could earn $20,000 annually. A person with only a high-school diploma could make around $21,000 annually. Earnings for those with an associate's diploma are approximately $24,000/year. Technicians with bachelor's degrees earned about $27,000 per year. Master's degree holders make around $32,000 annually. Salaries are increasing so that a professional earning less than $30,000 could expect to make $40,000 in a few years.
