If mounts were cars - r/classicwow

Using a silent car for the loudest mount is certainly a choice

u/Spadeykins 1d ago

Especially EV/Hybrid cars when the gnome mount is definitely the only mechanized one.

u/Dangerous-Ball-7340 1d ago

And has huge exhaust emissions that you can even see in the photo.

3

u/Europia79 1d ago

That would definitely be one of those old Toyota's, right ? Because even tho they burn oil, they last forever, lol :P

Or, would they be equivalent to one of those Trucks were they modify the exhaust to be LOUD and release black smoke (on purpose) ???

u/Dangerous-Ball-7340 1d ago

Gnomes out here rollin' coal. The epic gnome mounts are pretty flashy, so I'm going modded Honda Civic.

u/WoopsieDaisies123 1d ago

lol very good point!

10

u/imhitchens 1d ago

Have to mute the game, it's SO LOUD

6

u/WoopsieDaisies123 1d ago

I play horde, at least partially, to have to deal with gnomes and gnome accessories as little as possible.

u/Potato_Abuse 1d ago

When I played gnome on era I had to get the addon to mute certain game file sounds and add the idle and moving sound files to the list

1

u/imhitchens 1d ago

Here's a file to mute the mount, but I think it's technically ToS to modify game files:

Should have a muffled version ingame tbh

u/Stregen 15h ago

Leatrix Plus can mute them

149

u/Magnoosen 1d ago

The fact they gave the mustang to the Orc mount and NOT THE ACTUAL HORSE speaks volumes about this person.

13

u/Europia79 1d ago

It's actually much worse than that: They assigned Alliance Horses as Trucks and Horde Horses as Sedans !!! Make that one make sense ? lol

7

u/randomguy301048 1d ago

they didn't give the dodge RAM to the actual RAM either

46

u/bunsthepaladin 1d ago

Human is the most popular race. F-150 is the best selling vehicle in America.

Let OP cook.

11

u/yarffff 1d ago

As of February of this year, the Rav4 is actually the best selling vehicle in America. Crazy since the F150 has held that title for 40 years.

u/Scottie81 1d ago

I mean…did the alliance really want another horse?

-3

u/DUNDER_KILL 1d ago

Just because it's named after a horse doesn't mean it's actually like a horse though.. such a simplistic way of looking at things lol

38

u/Plaineswalker 1d ago

Lol everyone is attacking this thing like OP is in a doctoral defense. He just made it for fun bros, chill.

6

u/Michelanvalo 1d ago

You can also tell this thread hasn't attracted any Corvette people because holy shit would they be mad for the Viper to be "upgrade."

•

u/Tuggernaught81 3h ago

It would definitely destroy their fragile little ego’s. Especially the old boomer type’s drive the C4 and C5(the one in the pic), those guys think they have something special while it’s the complete opposite. As a parts manager at a GM dealership, those guys are my least favorite car owners.

10

u/piltonpfizerwallace 1d ago

Epic undead horse is purple pimp mobile.

3

u/Europia79 1d ago

But the Alliance Horses are Trucks ? Doesn't make sense ?

5

u/piltonpfizerwallace 1d ago

Kinda think it should be that mustang from Gone in 60 Seconds. Eleanor?

u/IvoJan 20h ago

u/Stock-Pen-5667 1d ago

Where’s the dreadsteed?

7

u/gnawdawg 1d ago

'51 Chevy Panel Wagon --> Gravedigger for sure. The Pally mounts could be PT Cruiser --> Plymouth Prowler

1

u/Stock-Pen-5667 1d ago

Hell yeah

5

u/verysimplenames 1d ago

Whats the epic undead one?

7

u/Junai7 1d ago

Buick Grand National. Pretty awesome car.

0

u/Europia79 1d ago

Buick's are such a smooth ride that I feel like they should have been assigned to the Wolf Mounts ? This is because I was an Undead player, but eyed the Rapter Mounts like fucking CANDY !!! But damn, they rode like shit. So, when I finally got the Wolf Mount from Alterac Valley, I wasn't really too hip for it... Until I actually tried it out, and it quickly grew on me as a "Smooth Ride" (like the Buick).

6

u/Evonyte 1d ago

Why is the horse a pick up truck? Is this something I’m too European to understand?

9

u/nbjest 1d ago

Humans are the most popular race despite this being a fantasy game and the Ford F-150 is the most popular car in America despite the fact that 90% of trucks never haul anything.

Basically they're both extremely popular and don't deserve to be.

u/madballfanboy 1d ago

Oh fuck yeah I got the Viper

1

u/ghostwolfereddit 1d ago

What mount exactly is that?

2

u/madballfanboy 1d ago

The armored, white, big cat

2

u/ghostwolfereddit 1d ago

Yah, name though?

2

u/madballfanboy 1d ago

Swift frostsaber I think

•

u/Vetersova 17m ago

Was always my favorite mount in the game back when I played in 2006-2007. Vipers are fitting lol

13

u/HuntressOnyou 1d ago

funny idea but poor choices

5

u/GrumpyPan 1d ago

i would laughed my ass off if the ram was a dodge

3

u/Europia79 1d ago

But it should have been a "Dodge Ram": That was definitely a missed opportunity in my opinion.

4

u/JJJHeimerSchmidt420 1d ago

You have the raptor mounts backwards.

4

u/Wtj182 1d ago

The amount of rage this post has created. /slow slowclap.

8

u/Europia79 1d ago

How did you equate the Alliance Horses as "Trucks", but the Horde Horses are "Sedans" ?

That's called a contradiction. It basically invalidates your whole list.

Also, we're going to completely ignore "Vans", like they don't even exist ???

3

u/Michelanvalo 1d ago

The Buick GNX is a coupe.

u/Dirtgumbo 1d ago

Gave me a good laugh!

u/Icember 1d ago

"My life for the Ford!"

u/YungLazyBoi 1d ago

This is exactly how I feel while driving my Grey Swift Ram around.

2

u/Qhi_Sama 1d ago

I disagree with the bare skeleton horse. Leave my horses name out to goddamn mouth

2

u/EddoAlternative 1d ago

Why did the proud human steed turn into a hillbilly car?

2

u/HaunterXD000 1d ago

ZG tiger is a Lambo for horde and I've been running that shit on lockout cooldown (in sod) since it came out for that reason

2

u/Yegas 1d ago

Rams as rally cars instead of trucks?

Horses as trucks instead of sedans / Mustang?

The giant exhaust-billowing loud ass mount is a silent EV/hybrid?

These choices are so deliberately bad it must be engagement bait

2

u/LTinS 1d ago

Put a lot of thought into being wrong.

2

u/Plaineswalker 1d ago

C5 Corvette to Viper is OP.

•

u/Tuggernaught81 3h ago

Definitely one of the best “upgrades” on this list. This might be an unpopular opinion but I think any ‘vette pre C6 is trash. I would definitely take a car that’s actively trying to end my life as an upgrade over that pos C5

2

u/TeeMannn 1d ago

these are excellent choices somehow i feel like the raptors should be motorcycles but still very good choices

2

u/mellicox 1d ago

The tigers would be JDM, come on

2

u/40somethingCatLady 17h ago

Haha... I like the Jurassic Park vehicle for the dinosaur mount.

5

u/MineGuy1991 1d ago

I have never seen a more wholly incorrect meme on this sub. And that’s saying something.

u/Lisrus 1d ago

Well I liked it OP. My favorite are the Kodos

u/bruters 1d ago

Why is this perfect

u/bmxracers 1d ago

This is great. I make the connection with all your choices despite all the petty criticism.

Ferrari: am I a joke to you?

u/Cptn_Honda 1d ago

No ravenlord?

1

u/Europia79 1d ago

Ravenlord rides pretty similar to the Raptor Mounts: So, according to OP, it would be customized Jeep ?

1

u/Cptn_Honda 1d ago

Honda prelude?

u/AsianGirlsRcuteAF 1d ago

Reading this post while sitting outside work in my c5z. Never been prouder to be a tiger rider.

Old Buick is good car

u/Tolsymir 16h ago

Dwarves' rams not being a... Ram is kind of upsetting.

1

u/UnnecessaryLemon 12h ago

Hmm what kind of vehicle could be an actual RAM? I Know, I know .. WV golf.. /slap

1

u/Sarasha 11h ago

I love Grand National!

1

u/Daiquiri-Factory 9h ago

Bro, switch those cars on the raptors ASAP! That Jurassic Park Jeep is the sickest car on here!

u/gabagooooooool 4h ago

Not making a Ram an actual Ram is insane work… lol

Why are the jeeps switched?

Looks like some def Alliance bias going on here. The UD mounts are totally wrong.
