Well if you get a stock photo then you fall into the "I suck AI, hurrr I'd drive the poo poo outa that" crew. OR You get them artsy lenses and be awesome and take a photo for the poor guy of your car, this time show the green light thing you mentioned. I like the Twingo but with those basic shapes they (or any manufacturer really) just can't do much with the rear end of them.

In the mean time, you can enjoy this short film I shot, produced and directed, to see that green light in action.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okt_4HMwcjs

Terminally Pretty posted:- and the new z4 looks like a woman's pleasure toy - since it WAS designed by a womerns!! Why does everyone keep saying this? The Original E85 Z4 was designed by Danish BMW-designer Anders Warming. Anders is not a woman, i assure you.

Ah, my mistake :P But in all fairness, he did post a pic of the E85 when the discussion began. Wikipedia says: The new roadster features a completely revamped interior, designed by Nadya Arnaout, and exterior, designed by Juliane Blasi.

Just bought a '99 Jeep Cherokee and took a terrible photo of it: It's lifted a couple inches and running big 31" tires which is just about the limit of what you'd want to live with day to day but still be capable of off-road fun. And the other car, an '05 Pontiac GTO. I'll be sad to drive this less but the Cherokee's 4 liter engine has a surprising amount of power. The goat will be the weekend and fun car while the Cherokee is driven daily and off-roaded.  America (and Australia), gently caress yeah!

Looking at the pictures it looks like the limit you'd want to hit a speed bump at speed without ripping a fender off. Basically a freeway flyer that may go into mud because an actual trail ride would shred the body work due to lack of flex and adding big tires.

Basically a freeway flyer that may go into mud because an actual trail ride would shred the body work due to lack of flex and adding big tires. It's on factory rims with stock backspacing so there's actually a lot of fender clearance (apparently will only rub fenders at extremes of articulation). The problem is that the tires rub the lower control arms at the limits of steering. I'm looking at swapping in either aftermarket or grand cherokee control arms that have a bend to them and allow the full range of motion without rubbing.

It looks close, maybe the shots are deceiving but actual articulation looks to tear a flare right off.

I really like how the facelift round-light front looks, much more unique than the Japanese one Not my car but my younger brothers Jap import 96-spec for comparison  Daily driven and parked outside so its much, much less tidy (the cellphone pic hides it well)

For the white Integra trifecta here is my rusty riced-out 1995 Integra. I think I posted it earlier in this thread but since then I have: Tinted the windows Put in seats from a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol Lowered the car on Koni shocks, Skunk2 springs, and some ebay aluminum lower control arms The car is an SE model so it has the GS-R wheels and suspension, but a base LS motor. It is a 5-speed.  Click here for the full 1950x706 image.  Click here for the full 1894x1054 image.  Click here for the full 1544x972 image.  Click here for the full 1536x2048 image.

Took some photos of the car today. Figured I'd better get it in pictures before the rust finally eats it all away ...

Xeno posted:Driver needs Ferrari to combat receding hairline It could be a lot worse than trying to outrun a midlife crisis. Buddy of mine lost his gf of a decade, and thus decided to get a used lambo and start working out, listening to lovely pop music, and most recently, 'body tanning'. I'm fully expecting him to have a boyfriend with a Miata next week. Your car purrty. The rear end does make me think of an Impala, though.

Besides the lovely pop music, there's nothing really wrong with any of that. Life is short, do what you wanna do. People put too much emphasis on the midlife crisis poo poo because they refuse to admit that having one is just a release from probably 20 years of doing what someone else wanted/s and not living for yourself enough. I mean, what else is he gonna do, buy a used volvo, get fatter, and be depressed? If improving his image is something he wants to do to help him feel better about himself, who gives a gently caress. Even if he decides that the self improvement sucks, he's still got a fun car out of it.

It's my 15th year graduation this year, and I really couldn't give a poo poo less - however, it is fairly depressing to think that BTTF is now 25 years old.
