I've seen a few scania buses running around which clearly have E39 BMW headlights, too.

Oh man, I wish i remember where I read that TVR used tail lights from a Rover on an American model but fitted them upside down. However this decreased the water proofnes of the trunk due to the fact they were designed with drain holes in the bottom.

Enourmo posted:Are (parent companies of) dead brands still required to maintain parts support for 15 years or whatever it is? Nope, but unless it was a low volume car and/or an audi, you should have a pretty good part supply for 20 years or so.

My husband makes six figures as a software engineer. I make 5 figures as a technical writer. We live in Newark, CA and work in Silicon Valley. The commute is 30 minutes no traffic, 1-2 hours heavy traffic.

Again poo poo like that just makes me think that the amount of coin kids get charged for university fees over there is completely insane. Also house prices are retarded in places but apparently now she lives in Santa Clara next door to where she works (Netgear HQ) so she doesn't 'need' a car anymore. That'll be saving them both some cash.

I figured I'd post some of the stuff in my parking garage cause it's always changing and there is some pretty neat stuff in there. Plates edited to protect privacy this is a public area yadda yadda. Sorry about the resolution just my cellphone.  Some sort of Tesla, Ford GT, Icon Bronco, and I think a AMG S65 coupe. GT guy has an Elenor clone and a Raptor as well. There's a new black Alpina 7 series behind and to the right of me usually but he was out to lunch.  I love these guys. They both work for the same company and daily drive these every day, rain or shine, I thought that was pretty awesome. There's some other fun stuff in there but I was in a hurry getting back from lunch.

I think it's a pair of V8s running through a custom diff and axle to turn that giant wooden wheel, though after that I have no idea. It doesn't look like it attaches to the drivetrain anywhere. They're not my pictures, I wanted to go but I had other things I had to do. A buddy took these. Otherwise I'd have been all over it.

I don't understand how $1600 a month eats up all her pay and part of his, when she says five figures does she mean working for minimum wage? That's $400 a week net to pay the loans but I'm sure that was worth the $130k debt and making more than her mom who apparently works in a sweatshop.

 Caprice incompletely converted into an Impala SS? Check. Cheesy Chevy badging on the trunklid and fenders? Check. Black with oxidized clearcoat? Check. Handicapped placard hanging from rearview? Check. Full godamned rollcage, and an idle exhaust note that reminded me of a Sprint Cup car? Check.

It doesn't look like it attaches to the drivetrain anywhere. I suspect it was built to power some big belt driven piece of stationary equipment. Like this, but something larger - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNFF0rcK6FY Note that the tractor in that video had the same grill as that hot rod.
