Vehicle Designs: "This Isn't Right -- This Isn't Even Wrong..."

Have you ever been looking through old _CW_ products, and seen a vehicle design where, even tho' you haven't looked at the design rules in *years*, you can see the design is illegal just by looking at it?

I was thinking about this after looking over "Grand Theft Autoduel" in _ADQ 3/1_: One of the cycles at the enemy Base is a Medium Cycle with a Light Sidecar; the problem crops up with the weapon mounts: It has two linked 10-shot MGs in the sidecar, which only has 185 lbs. load left after chassis and a single Std. cycle tire are accounted for (the minimum required for it to be usable). I think the writer was a little confused concerning the fungibility of mass on a cycle/sidecar combo; the weight and spaces count is correct, just in the wrong place.
