The variety of brands at the dealership behind you breaks my brain.

Also, goddamn I wish we got cool full-size wagons like the one behind you.

Is that a D2 S8?

Yes, from 2001. I wanted to find out how expensive those can be to actually own :v:

In Finland there isn't that much money around so dealers usually sell multiple brands under the same roof. Only the very largest ones like Toyota and Volkswagen have their own.

Thanks, if it wasn't so expensive to keep up I would have kept it. Still miss it and will likely look at Hellcat Chargers in the next couple years as I feel they are the spiritual successor to the E55 (only without the engineering complexity and absurd maintenance costs).

Driving this in the meantime which is fun in it's own way

Honestly I'd have waited for a better pic before I put it here if not for that. The Armada dude was kind of a dick and not far off the middle of the aisle, but I fit beside him anyway :3: And even the Caravan dwarfs it.

There's a '77, an '81 and an '88 right there, so close enough :v:

More like suppository, the E21 was never known for its spectacular braking and it doesn't get better when a car sits for 16 years and now I'm working on turbocharging it :getin:

When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.




Just bought this. 2010 370z roadster. I know the coupe is the tighter, more bro-ey version, but I've wanted a Japanese coupe with soft-top or t-tops since I was like 8 years old and I saw an Eclipse Spyder in Boys Life magazine ;)

Already looking for new wheels (thinking Koenig Centigrams), and made a whole list of parts for it I cannot afford at this time. Behind it is my Solara which is probably still going to serve as a daily because this baby gets like 15mpg city.

I also need to powerwash my driveway.

Are we still doing car colors? Because here's Arlene, my eBay impulse buy shitbox XJ in 10-footer respray tan:



I knew that there would be a few things that needed fixing right away just to drive and enjoy it, but I've already spent as much to get it roadworthy as I did to buy it. And now that the kids are back in pre-school, it sits all week because it doesn't have (and I won't put) car seats in it. The plan was to do as much myself as I could, but I have had zero time to do any of it. Still, I love the drat thing. It's a joy to drive and puts a smile on my face every time, I just never get to. .

Meanwhile, my allroad got a new set of wheels, seen here from inside the Jeep.

Then here's an update just for you. It had these IND-T's on it for about a month when the Vorsteiners were out for refinishing and the CH-R's hadn't arrived yet.

Best pic I have on my phone. They're bright, though I've gone through a couple sets. The harnesses crap out.

Edit: The ones linked don't show an H11 version anymore, but iJDMtoy (I know, I know) sells others on Amazon. Probably lots better ones out there but these work and they're cheap-ish.

one in which the same model has either buick, vauxhall, opel or holden stickers depending on trim and region but manages to perfectly illustrate the problems with(lack of) a brand identity all those makers face perfectly. Actually not sure about holden but eh

it lacks character, arguably any distinguishing design, it’s comfortable but not an autobahn champ grand tourer - one thing this fine boring car doesn’t need at all is moar power i think

Tremek has different standards for power I think.

250hp in that car is probably fine.
