Re: Got Cars
Gawd, those cars are SHINY.
That shiny surface, reflecting rows of lights on the ceiling, is what the rendering on Iron Man's armor was originally supposed to represent. The funny thing is, that same stuff is reflected on his armor no matter where he is. He's perpetually lit up like an auto show.
eta: you know what gets reflected on 'Metal Mario' on the N64? this:

Re: Got Cars
In the 1930s Nissan was building Tiny Datsons but changed to Datsun because the son is bad juju.
They wanted to build bigger cars but needed a helping hand. They got it from Graham...
The next year they built 4 door touring (open) cars also but the Jap military snapped them up.

this might be the ugliest car I've ever seen
if you divide it into thirds, each third is decent looking, but as a part of completely different cars

Re: Got Cars
So you want a look alike box in one of the three categories. not a low sleek station wagon with an aggressive stance and class? tsk tsk
How rich do you have to be to spend $1.4 million on a car you can't drive because that would risk your investment.
Or buy a new GTO with an optional lower power engine?
Or spend $3 million on the currently fastest car on the road, most of us couldn't afford to insure, and drive it 250 mph?
Or get excited by NASCAR racing identical cars?

Re: Got Cars
You must very limber to consider the '25 C-8 Corvettes.
Or you could go with an economical compact.

That 1999 Chrysler looks like it is what was called 'cab forward'. One of those innovations that never took hold.

XO Bruce and I had many back and forths about cars.
I miss them and this brought them, and him, to mind:

Every time I open the Cellar homepage, I see this abandoned thread that Bruce and I used so much.
Just to keep it alive, Mercedes-Benz in Alabama:
