That wind-up wrench at the tailgate was wonderful.

This era of American car design was the absolute poo poo, slam 'em and there's little approaching them in terms of coolness. *edit: While the model they're starting this with sucks poo poo and is ugly as sin I applaud a manufacturer finally pushing this. https://twitter.com/SpeedSportLife/status/1673283428215582720?t=DiLVpBDUW0SbFzKFveMtlA&s=19 quote:As of today, FIAT stops producing grey cars. The decision was made to enhance the importance of colours in life, embodying the Italian way of living and reaffirming the Brand’s New Dolce Vita value.

Spotted this bad boy outside my friend's bar last night: I happened to be shooting an event there - lots of portraits and group shots - so I had my camera with a 50mm prime lens. Someone pointed at the road and I spun around, let out a huge *GASP* and screamed "THAT'S MY FAVOURITE CAR!!!"

I like to think a lot of the good shots I've got with the plastic-fantastic nifty fifty are because it's so light I could spin around fast

Enos Cabell posted:I hope you track this guy down and send him a print, because that is badass. Thanks that means a lot! I consider myself a decent photographer - been shooting a lot of B&W lately now that my confidence is up enough to get into higher ISOs and deal with the grain, in low-light environments like venues and bars (nothing beats a flash for the dancefloor and DJ shots though). I wish I'd had the aperture slightly higher for this photo; you can see the back end of the car is a little out of focus. Oh also, this El Camino had the faux wood strip on the tailgate. Not sure if that was a standard feature when they were being made, but I loved that little touch. "I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave." You can check out my pics at @0pposingforce on Insta if you want. It's mostly event photos and pictures of cats, not much vehicle stuff since I sold my GSX-R.

NGL, I kinda love that it's a scooter. I really expected them to be reclining, rather than laying on their belly.

Pulled up beside someone's project on the way to a new home. Needs some TLC, but something like this would be a dream for me. It's funny how tiny it is behind the truck pulling it.

Spent the whole day yesterday driving around hunting for a new project car. Specifically another Samurai. Found 8, but only 1 person was willing to part with theirs. A Santana Samurai Special Edition! Pretty much a standard Samurai, but has both power steering and AC. it's in pretty rough shape, quite a few bits missing, some collision damage, but it's MINE! for US$550, lol Collecting it with a flatbed on Monday.

An Ape will make you feel like going a thousand kmh at ten with death rattles; putting a real engine in it is a decade old tradition, be it a motoguzzi, a ducati or a mv augusta(putting high power japanese ones is relatively recent). You just need to stay the gently caress away from the cops if you engine swap it, since they will catch you immediately if you go faster than 10 kmh.
