Haha I get people doing double takes in traffic all the time. The best is when I'm getting passed on the freeway and the driver is craning their head over to look at the front end.

This got posted in the car group discord I belong to. She (the one who took the picture) calls it "The Specimen" It seems to be an Olds Alero. No idea on the front end though. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 17:50 on May 24, 2021 |

I think that monstrosity is actually maybe an Aurora instead? And the front end looks almost R34 Skyline-ish but the piece covering the inter part of the headlights is  .The rear tire situation is also beyond my ability to fathom.

Apparently Enzo Ferrari once said something along the lines of "when you buy my car, you pay for the engine, and I give you the rest for free".

If those are OEM on a 30+ year old car and only now need replacing I'd say you had done exceptionally well.

Olympic Mathlete posted:If those are OEM on a 30+ year old car and only now need replacing I'd say you had done exceptionally well. This is a 1986 coupe deville that I got at auction for the low low price of 505 american funbux. It was owned by an elderly gentleman and his wife drove the vehicle until she passed away. It sat in a garage until the man passed away. His daughter attempted to sell the car two years ago after he passed away but she was asking almost 4200$ for a vehicle that wasn't running from sitting and only broke brain dummies like me would actually be interested in. The estate just recently went to auction and I was the unfortunate high bidder. The vehicle is dead and it has the digital dash so I don't know the exact mileage yet but the last oil sticker says 154k in 2007 and the DOT codes on the tires are from late 2006 so this vehicle could very well have been sitting for up to 13 years. This is what my auto tech training picked up as well as chatting up the next door neighbor and also the very limited amount of information I gleaned from the auction manager when I was waiting for the tow truck to show up. Either way I'm sure that the air struts were rotted out well before I got here, as the 86 coupe deville I had in high school had cracked air strut bellows before I even owned it in the mid to late aughts. (Yes, you read that right. I had one of these awful cars in high school and didn't learn my lesson back then, so here we go again.) coupedeville fucked around with this message at 17:02 on May 27, 2021 |

I just had the "pleasure" of driving my sisters Dacia Lodgy. And hey, neat, it has cruise control. And as you would expect the buttons for it are on the steering wheel. Well except the loving button to activate the cruise control. That ones hidden all the way at the bottom of the center console behind the shifter.  Theres more than enough space on the steering wheel Dacia! Why would you put it down there?
