Spotted at the beach today.  edit: Also saw a Delorean last night. I see an assload of awesome cars around here tbh - saw a late-50's Corvette driving around today, saw some kind of 50's sedan yesterday... It's actually probably not related to the fact that Laguna Seca is about ten minutes away since nobody would drive any of these cars there. There are a few M3's floating around though.

I always adored that they actually got accurate engine sounds for each car, even differentiating between the protagonist's N/A 86 and a turbocharged one that shows up later on.

Used to work at a Namco arcade in ~art school~ and it was probably the most fun arcade game there, until some rear end in a top hat broke the wheel servos intentionally to get mad quick oversteer.

I think the worst example of dramatic movie shifting is Transporter 3 where Jadon Statham keeps slamming his automatic Audi in to gear.

No, the worst is in Days of Thunder when Tom Cruise shifts at Daytona, and anyone who knows even the slightest about NASCAR knows that you only shift at Daytona going into the pits or coming out.

Darko posted:I hate this in movies so much. People "win" races by going up one gear in practically any car film with a race. The "worst" example of this was probably Fast and the Furious 5, when they did the Charger drag race, all had identical cars, and somehow, getting a ridiculous jump at the start meant nothing because he apparently shifted up five gears after his launch too quickly or something.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa5BDiCgBAw

Watched Overdrift years ago, but when our group got an AE86 the owner talked me into watching Initial D and I simply can't do it without thinking about "throwing it all away for the drift." Having 2 RHDs in the group is really, really cool.

The fact that the bumper is correct for the grille and that it's a five-lug truck says it's really a '71/'72, or someone paying attention when year-swapping. Also, I really like that wheel/tire/"stance" package. Give that thing at least enough paint to cover the primer and it'd look perfect.

I took a friend visiting from out of state to Triple X Rootbeer in Issaquah earlier today and ran across these beauties;   Top one is a (edit, thanks Q_res!) '49 Ford Coupe, Ford Galaxie 500 and then a Ford Fairlane. They all sounded so good, especially the Galaxie

I was browsing around the old auto trader when I came across this gem. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305216871312   (apologies for the small pics, check the ad for big) It might qualify for the other thread if I weren't sure it was a 100% pure 80s factory Porsche interior.

I love looking at old car advertisements, mainly for lower-end stuff. It's always cool to see cars in their prime that you now really only see as beat-up daily-drivers. I picked up some old German magazines at a thrift store. Scanned the nice car pictures:      And something extra I found online:
