I've got no shortage of barns I could park mine in on family-owned property... but they're all steel :saddowns: That and they're an hour's drive each direction.

There's no way this isn't done before I get home, because it's easy mode with a white CR-V just driving around crowded parking lots. Could probably easily find one that's also pre-2015 facelift and same LX trim level.

There goes my plan for my Jeep with my fleet of RC cars in the trunk.

I've got some perfect ones off-road but with the rain the past few days, it would probably be unwise to go into a canyon.

Edit: improved my justification & a clarification.





From East Mesa to Honda East Liberty Assembly Plant in Ohio. Might redo this later with the C10 aimed at Fremont / NUMMI / the Tesla factory for shits and grins.

:siren: A photo of your car from at least 30 feet above it, so no leaning out your second or third floor bedroom window to shoot it in the driveway. :siren:

I literally ran the WJ through a car wash last night but I will not violate the sanctity of The Driving Game by claiming anything about it was meticulous.

The aluminum bracket sitting center, as well as its matching partner in the back corner, used to hold the fourth-gen cooling fan to a C10 radiator. Dad and I whipped those up with a hacksaw and a bench grinder.

:siren: Post your car next to its doppelganger! :siren:

Your car next to something that looks like it, but is not it. Examples:
*2004-06 GTO and a Cavalier
*2012-2017 CR-V and a Volvo XC60 (at least from the rear)
*PT Cruiser and a flaming bag of poo poo

Does toyota matrix next to a pontiac vibe count here?

I would say no - not unless this sits for too long without an entry.

Those honestly look more alike than the Vibe and Matrix :v: I'd say you should come up with a challenge!

I admit to being slightly surprised that there's no takers on drawing a dong on one's car.

What in the hell is the 'artistic basis' of a blue oval?

They circled the problem?

Aside from the Jeep problem, I've also got a Honda "H" and "GMC". :shrug:

Just saw a parked truck with airbrushed skulls on every panel, a skull trailer hitch cover, a skull exhaust, and a plate that says SKULLSS.

Surrounded by nothing but handicapped spots. :negative:

Or an Escort, Contour, or Tempo.

Maybe a Mazda 323 or Protege for shits and grins.

Seriously. I could drive across town and take a picture of mine with my brother-in-law's 84 F150, but that's boring.

This challenge is even more easy-mode if you're doing it in reverse. 1990-or-newer GM truck is not exactly a rare beast.

Of course nobody has actually done it yet so :shrug:

The rocker panels, especially where these trim pieces screw in. Even in Arizona they rot out.

I realize this is about one microSock of rust, but... Ugh. To fix it right it's going to need a full repaint.

CHALLENGE: Find a heavily modified version of your car. If yours is modified, find a stock one. Take a photo of them together as a before / after set.
