Cars, Man

[fivemega]

Here is my ride http://gallery.photo.net/photo/7930788-lg.jpg but I don't suppose they are well known outside Europe.

Not many eastern Bloc cars including Skoda are popular in States but well known in Russia.

Here is my daily roller owned since 2000 with 298,000 and some change on the clock. I had to buy new wheels because the old ones cracked. Wheels usually outlast the car. The new shoes are from a 2004 Maxima.

Right you are, Eddie. We've been married 30 years. I tell people, "I married up, and have never forgotten that I did."

Thanks O, I thought Cherry would be more so. My Car Guy accompanied the Mrs. and me and told me when we first found some little imperfections, "It's got 47,000 miles on it, it's gunna have a few rock chips in the front."

I've no buyers remorse on day three, so it L@@Ks like Cherry is a keeper.

Did you choose that over the Lincoln, or is that also in the garage?

The Lincoln is in my mother's garage. She loves driving it. I looked for another one, but they're not readily available. Besides, I'm too young for one and I don't want to have to rub my fingers together when I'm driving it. :laughing:

Just saw over at my neighbor, the Porsche guy, now into American V8s'
has a brand new 2017 Shelby GT350!!

Brembo brakes/6-speed manual/high revving 324 cu.in. motor/really nice wheels
He has it in white & the car in person is way better than pictures

Seriously;
it is the best preforming car per dollar on the planet, by a large margin!!!

just like this_____________^

The top of my grand espace. Unfortunately need a people carrier as i have 4 kids.
It does have a 3.5 v6 in it with 250bhp so its pretty quick for what it is. Not sure about USA where big engines are the norm but these are rare in the UK with this engine.

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

orbital, are you and your neighbor friendly? Like you get a ride in all his new cars, friendly? :candle:

torchsarecool, isn't that the car the Pope rides around in, while he's standing and waving to the crowds? Just kidding. I'd love to see a picture showing the top open. Very nice.

I'd say good friends,, I'll see if I can drive this one, seriously :devil:
..wondering if he traded his C7 for it straight up

He's not around that much because it's his cabin near me, in summer we hangout at the track together & other neighbor type stuff.
