Yes, but he's since made the grille taller and added a lot more chrome bits. Definitely the same car though.

Speaking of Eclipses..... Today at work; I had just come back from a test drive with a customer's car, and see this on the side street next to our building. That's some kind of tool kit on the ground in front of it. No idea why he was there, as he left not long after I snapped the picture. Rattling and farting away the whole time.  Oddly enough, I didn't notice the drift charm until after I took the picture. And now for something really terrible, a potato image of a douche bag license plate on a stereotypical douche bag car:

His license plate is technically correct though, the best kind of correct.

How could you tell the driver wasn't handicapped? Do you guys have special plates or something?

Oh wow, that actually was Steve Jobs's car and he swapped them out every 6 months because that's how long you can legally drive a new car before the plate must be put on. edit: DO you guys have special plates for handicapped people's vehicles though?

Not here (Canada) , we just have the little sign you stick on the dash or visor I suppose handicapped parking abuse is terrible car stuff also, I know at least 3 people who either had a pass for a short while (things like broken leg) and continued to use the sign for years after Or the good ol my parents/grandparents need it, but it's ok for me to use it too

kastein posted:I'm somewhat sad that no one makes a bolt-on (without drilling holes in the spare tire well, which is horrifying to think of as a tow bar mount) tow hitch for a Justy, because it'd be nice to have that turning radius when moving a trailer around the yard. Or for that matter dragging my ~400lb tow dolly places, because then I could go buy a new project car by towing the dolly there, then towing it and the Justy home with the new project car I got curious and looked it up: the Justy's turning radius is 32.15 feet. A Volvo 940's turning radius is 32.0 feet.

Spotted in the wild on a mid-90s Ranger -   That's a pro hub cover right there. Held on with a hose clamp and everything.
