So I took these a while ago in Japan, but thought they were all very AI. Click for big! Because why not?  Ferrari of some description?   Cosy G Wagon  I really liked this colour, and the garage was spotlessly clean. Very cool.  BMW 850  Skyline in the snow at Appi Kogen, I fell on my rear end a bunch taking this due to not wearing proper shoes and the carpark being a block of ice.

I really was not sure if the caddy was just there forever, or actually driven. But cool either way haha

A big block monstrosity like that costs around $1000 a year in road tax so if they weren't driving it, they'd probably de-register it and hand over the plates.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Funny how they lump all motorsports as sexist because of one sexist rear end in a top hat. I'm sure there are others but come on. Honestly, speak to any woman in the car industry or even who is just an enthusiast and the level of mansplaining, gatekeeping, and just outright harassment is pretty horrifying.

I've become friends with the saleswoman that sold me my Dodge, from a primarily Ram dealership. Guys buying cars can be huge assholes. Imagine going on a test drive with a dude that tries hitting on you and physically touching you, not to mention all of the condescension. Which means "to talk down to"  But seriously she has some horrorshow stories

poo poo, all women have horror stories about interactions with men. It's one of the most depressing things to learn about as a man, that a large chunk of other dudes are actually just terrible humans who can't interact with women without being creepy, inappropriate weirdos or worse.

Looks like a MR-S and a first-gen Audi TT had a baby, but the doctor presiding over the delivery was a early 00s Dodge. Horrific. Ugly. Nauseating. I hope they make thousands.

It had the 2.4L turbo 4 from the SRT4 but longitudinally mounted, and spinning the rear wheels through a six speed manual. OF COURSE they never built it.

The Mopars lined up is the poo poo, Mopar made the best muscle cars of that era imo. The 69 Charger and 72 Roadrunner are my favorites since I was a kid.

You Am I posted:The Falcon ute would be a lot harder to convert to LHD because there was never any tooling for it, compared to the Commodore Isn’t the play that they take a US legal G8 and re-shell it with the ute body? That’s the trick, getting around the 25yr rule, not the LHD conversion. No US legal Falcon to play the same trick. Also from memory there’s certain hardpoints in the Falcon that prevented LHD, at least that was an excuse as to why they never chased the LHD market like Holden did. Lack of tooling isn’t a problem with enough money, we do it the other way all the time here. See also RHD Ram trucks and Camaro. In NZ, the rules are weird. Over 20 years old, fine. Otherwise, you either apply for one of 500 yearly Special Interest permits if that applies, or you spend 50k converting to RHD. quote:Category A: Special interest light vehicles less than 20 years old

Yes, they rebody a G8 or GTO (or really just transplant the firewall and cowl with the VIN) and there's no way that Falcon is street legal.

It was a concept car that was based on the C4 and supposed to be produced in the 90s, but nothing ever happened with it. Then in 2010 some guys finally built several of them to be sold, and those were done using C5 Z06s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kq8VS9v8iM Ror fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Aug 28, 2020 |

It's called a balance bike. Neat way for toddlers to get the hang of a bike without training wheels.
