Holy poo poo I randomly clicked this vid and thought it was gonna the usual 'not as good a top gear' car journalism. Come for him saying bullshit multiple times in a minute, stay for the likening something to a 'bangkok tranny'

Not sure if rebuilt "art" cars count but if they don't I also have this:

NEXT CHALLENGE: WE NEED A PHOTO OF YOUR CAR IN FRONT OF A MATTRESS STORE. IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE INDEPENDENT MATTRESS STORE IN THE PHOTO I WILL DONATE $10 TO CHARITY FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ONE.

Someone get on it!

I've been sick for drat near a month and haven't been able to ride my bicycle anywhere near as much as I wanted, so today I figured I'd experiment and see if I could fabricobble a bicycle rack for my motorcycle so I can get to the trailhead easier.

I present Xzibit A:

Seems like it'll work

If that's acceptable:
It's time for your car-waifu (or husbando) to move in, show us your vehicle inside in a room other than the garage.

drat and here I was going to stuff as many empty beer cartons and a bailing bag full of cans in my commodore wagon. It's night time here so I can do it tomorrow - which also means half the battle is won on the home front (missus telling me to actually recycle what I said I was savign to recycle and not do an epic cross-state refund scheme)

I too put AMG plate holders on my non-AMG car.

Hey I saw Kompressor badges on a Honda CRX once upon a time. Granted the car itself was a loving weapon and I guess they got bored of being a trashed out sleeper and just put anything on the car to be over the top stupid to bait people into thinking they were nothing but show., it's previous paint job was rattlecan camo complete with a shopping list that was literally "milk, eggs, cheese, etc"

Let's see if I can find a Hyundai Excel or Accent on the road still after 20 years, I feel as if all of them have died by now

Come to Australia - they seem to be the go-to car for a cheap banger with a zillion parts available at any wreckers/side of road. I have a very wealthy friend will all sorts of nice cars and he still uses a late 90s excel to drive to work because if it fucks up there's no shortage of parts in which ever lovely country town he is closest to.

On the other hand, low enough gears would be hilarious. Wanna see some rock crawler idling along at a speed rivaled only by glaciers.

I want a mismatch. Find a licence plate holder thingy that doesn't match the vehicle, or a "LOVE MY HUMMER" sticker on a Geo Metro, or something like that. Whatever it is, it must not match the vehicle that is the subject of the photo but at least try to get some of your car in the frame. No big if you don't because you're a safe driver and don't take photos while you're operating a motor vehicle.

ALSO SUDDEN BONUS CHALLENGE: IF YOU PURCHASE THE OFFENDING STICKER/EMBLEM/WHATEVER, AFFIX IT TO YOUR OWN VEHICLE, AND TAKE THE PHOTO IN FRONT OF A PUBLIC PLACE, I WILL DONATE THE TOTAL ON THE RECEIPT TO CHARITY IN YOUR NAME (or a name of your choice). Just so I don't go bankrupt helping sick kids, let's put a cap of $50 after shippping and taxes in case someone finds a solid gold Bentley emblem to put on their Del Sol

Great! Where I live there is no shortage of Holden Commodores that have replaces the badges with Chevy ones. This is probably the only weekend I'll actually WANT to see one.

You mean the ones that almost exclusively have the "Cast and manufactured in Australia V6" not the LS V8 from the US?

I mean any Holden Commodore that the owner decided to remove and replace the entire front grill with a Chevy one. A young guy last week in one of the local trading pages was pleading for a someone with a holden one as the car he bought had the Chevy - I took pity and sold a complete front bumper and grill to him for $20.

Its this one. That ought to do. Fun place to see. I missed it on my first sweep, so I got to spend 20 minutes walking around Folsom and seeing a few other ones.

Let's see some pretty views. Lakes, rivers, ocean, cliffs, valleys... something natural to take my breath away

About two years too late to post but my hometown has a mountain range and at night looking over the city a certain suburbs streetlights spell out 'HELL'. When council found out I think they added more to say 'HELLO' - not sure if true and I've never seen it in person. Good view though.

Please reshoot this during the solar eclipse in August.

Edit: Also why does it say eclipse on it, is that the name of the body kit or some performance enhancement? A google image search for "sera eclipse" somehow resulted in furry porn for me.

We were sponsored by them for a SQ sound comp years ago and never took the stickers off.

Edit: And good eye on the Sera part. - Other halfs name is actually Sara and I mistyped :/

WHAT IS THIS WHERE DO I BUY IT

It's in Central Queensland and currently for sale along with 4 others of it's ilk. I think 15000 made over its 5 year production run? That one in particular is first known 5EFHE to be turboed and took maybe 6 weeks for Microtech to figure out a tune for it

You still didn't say what that adorable tiny ridiculous car is. Are they available in the US? I want one too.

It's a Toyota Sera. Granted it is kitted. Right Hand drive only. It's on Paseo frame but you only get the kick rear end gullwings on the Sera:
Strangley it's an old as gently caress photo but like a football feild away from current photo:

That red car in the BG is a loving weapon. 10 sec 2WD Ford TX3.

EDIT: gently caress the rules: no one takes a photo of their car with scenery as primary focus.

EDIT2: We were sponsored for a few sound offs and I went witih Eclipse becuase they were the OEM audio for Toyota at the time and thought it would be a fun thing to do. "Oh yeah give me all the poo poo you should have had in the car originally". Granted - the Seras parcel shelf had a rotating set of speakers to adjust to your preferences.

How is the trunk space and the stock handling? The Tercel isn't known for performance, but man these things are cool and relatively cheap

Trunk space is tiny. The rear seats are horrible but they fold down and instead of a little hole to the trunk a big panel slides out. Hanlding is good - brakes are terrible. Tiny front discs and rear drums.

They were built from 89 to 95

How about the patron saint of V8s?

Lighting is a bit atrocious because I took this shot after work yesterday but this is the Peter Brock Memorial at the base of Mt Panorama. It's possible to get closer by parking round the back but the back of the statue is completely featureless. I think I did this for the riding game as well actually, the other choice would've been the big gold panner which I've definitely done in the past.

In the spirit of repeats, Show us your happy place! Take a shot of your vehicle on your favourite local* driving road, or that spot you like to go to when you want to relax for a bit.

*Whatever your interpretation of local is fine. When I did this for the weekly riding game I did a 2 hour loop that took me 60km from town as the crow flies, because I live in a rural area and I was nowhere near any other major towns on the route.

For Aussies this is gold!

I can't post my photos from the last official invitatial day at the Brock Musuem up in CQ for copyright reasons (I was paid to shoot it). But I can tell you it was hilarious as it was a 'you have to own a HDT car over $x and be invited' affair. I turned up in my busted rear end VY ex-cop wagon. Pulling up and going through the queue of deserving patrons was a highlight of my life. Inside the museum was nutso. I think the only photo I got of myself was leaning on his raceboat, right next to his MiG.

I later got in touch with one of the Champions (surname) about losing the original Marlboro colour palletes. The company I worked for had the old values and swatches still (cigareete advertising is illegal here). The least I could do for seeing the real Big Banger - including the street sign beaten into a body panel from the inside.

Excellent entry and a couple neat stories here, very nice!

I now trying to do an 'undelete' recovery on a drive I know I used to use for mobile dumping of images in hopes of any files. It's many years but those drives had sat idle and have had minimal if any for the past 5 years. All those years, all the poo poo in so many countries - and I have nothing!
