Late model Audis see possibly the biggest aesthetic boost from running no front plate. Mean looking front end! Edit: new page content   This was taken before a possum helped me remove the front lip. Been debating putting it back on. Yay or nay? willroc7 fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Feb 24, 2016 |

It has one on the back.  And technically I just sold it, but it's still in my possession for another week until the buyer flies in to drive it home.

Pretty much why I insisted on replacing my truck (which replaced a truck) with a truck. Except I could haul 2 different bikes a day, every weekend for a month and still not have hauled all my bikes. I'm thinking it's time to get a horse trailer and just loving fill it with motorcycles.

Sorry about all of your subpar front ends. (dirty as heck and I need to replace the lip cover or plasti-dip it and replace the PO's carbon fiber front badge)

Mariana Horchata posted:fuckin cars man I know the feeling. In order by purchase date: 2008-2011, my '96 XJ:  Died: in Pennsylvania, of its second blown transmission in two years and advanced rust. Wasn't worth dragging it home to fix it. 2010-present (hasn't been registered since 2013, it's just a parts donor / 4x4 engine crane until I build the next offroad MJ), my '91 MJ:  Died: a slow death at the hands of rust and offroad abuse. Still probably my most capable vehicle offroad. See also: 2010-present, 20,000lb lawn ornament '58 M54A2. Hasn't died yet, just restin' 2010-present, my '98 XJ:  Died: of some sort of horrible jeep curse, I fixed that fucker until it was even more broken, then found out it was VIN swapped by the previous owner to dodge a salvage inspection, gently caress YOU RED JEEP GO TO HELL 2011-present, my first '88 MJ:  Died: not yet! Awaiting pickup of its twin, the other '88 blue 4.0 2wd MJ, at which point I will decide which is cleaner and make that the streetqueen with a ridiculous engine, with the other being a replacement chassis for the '91. 2012-2013, my '01 dodge 2500 van:  Died: when the auto trans nuked itself for the fourth or fifth time in my family's ownership (I "saved" this festering turd from the scrapyard when my parents wanted it gone from their driveway) and I realized I didn't really want to put work into a rotted dented decade old dodge van with a bad transmission and bad rearend bearings. 2013-present, my other blue '88 MJ, not pictured because I still haven't seen it in person. Cross your eyes while looking at the other one, they're the same except one's a pioneer and the other's an eliminator, IIRC. 2014-present, my '00 subaru forester:  Died: gently caress I really wish it would but it's the DD because everything else is broken/a long term project 2015-present, my '94 subaru justy, presently awaiting an oil pump rebuild:  Died: not yet and I'm not going to let it, because I like it too much Dishonorable mentions: 1994, 1996, 1999, 1995, and 1998 parts XJs 1994 dodge 2500 pickup (for parts) half of three different MJs half of a 1990 Subaru Justy

On the 325 on the right, it has the "euro smileys" which are H1s all around I think, and I like the H1/H4 combo better. But Mad Tyte GDM Looks. I don't like the sealed beam look or light output.

I think I need to get a set of depo lights to replace my aging projectors, but these days they're over 200 bucks (at least the last time i checked).

blk posted:How do you like yours? Which spec is it? I'd really like a 997 for my next car. It's a 997.1 C2S, I love it for pretty much every cliche 911 reason. It's just a small, focused sports car. The rear engine provides insane grip and strangely effective pendulum handling which is exciting and rewarding to drive. The controls are also dialed in perfectly -- good clutch weight, shift effort, and steering feel. The screaming induction and exhaust all behind you is not bad either. I came from a decade of BMWs, but once I drove my first 911 it was all over.

I remember us having worked for Adam S at different times/different BMW dealerships, so close I guess...he's with Tesla these days along with my brother (who's also just short of hitched to his oldest daughter) as are a lot of other former coworkers and they all couldn't be happier working for Elon aside from the long hours. My dealership days are long over but I still do miss the shenanigans that made all the other bullshit tolerable.  since i already posted my current Fiesta ST last page here's the front end of the much missed SR16VE swapped SE-R from back in the day Mariana Horchata fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Feb 25, 2016 |
