QuoteSaw something interesting on the way home today, so I stopped and took a picture since I happened to have my camera with me. I scaled these way down so they wouldn't bog anyone down. Any ideas what these two trucks full of oddly painted Trailblazers would be for?



Wizard is that Kent Ohio?
Nope. Mountain Home, Arkansas. The dealership is owned by a couple named Kent.

QuoteParked (and drove) last night:
S4 convert.
RS6
M-B S600 V12

Got $2 tip from the S4 and S600, and a $3 tip from the RS6

On another note a guy with a 1995ish nissan maxima gave me $10 tip.  Let's hear it for cheap rich people.
:o I'm jealous. The S4 is nice too, and the MB is nice, but I couldn't care less about it. If I wanted to drive a car like that, I'm sure my friend would let me borrow his 760iL for a night. But the RS6... well, for some reason I have a special desire for that car. Too bad they were cheapskates though.  <_<
That RS6 has just an awesome engine note, and I just loved listening to it. I'll admit I'm guilty of sitting in it for a little bit listening to the engine. mmmm Bi-turbo V8

I saw a brand new 330xi driving like such a bitch in the rain I wanted to pass him over double yellows.

Usually when you pass you need a car with adequate acceleration capabilities ;)

Over that fucker?  Sure he may have 255bhp, but he obviously didn't know which pedal he had to push on to use them.  I was in an emergency situation and if it weren't raining I would have passed him.

I saw one of those (a white one) on fire once. Something in the engine blew up, and it blew a hole in the grille and burnt for a while. I always thought of the Skylark as "the exploding car" after that.

QuoteOh, that's right--I saw my first Fusion the other day.
I saw one today as well-its a very nice looking vehicle, one of the best looking mainsteam sedans IMO.

I also saw a Ferrari 360 Modena, Porsche 996 Turbo S and a BMW 850CSI :lol:  

2007 Honda S2000
OEM Hardtop, Rick's Ti Shift Knob, 17" Volk LE37ts coming soon...

It seems like I've seen a Fusion somewhere. It is a good looking car.

Raza

Yeah, it is a pretty good looking car.  Though I'd still step into a Mazda6 before it.

:rockon: :praise: Me too.  :lol:

If I understand correctly, there's a noticeable handling difference, although the Fusion is obviously still more than adequate.

The Fusion is bigger and softer, that's what it boils down to.

2 F430's
2 M5's
2 Flying Spurs
2 Quattroporte's

I forgot to mention I saw a lot of cars not available in the U.S. in some of the islands, they looked very similar to US Spec but left hand drive and different front and rear ends.

In Vancouver over the weekend I saw a Carrera GT, a few Ferraris, a Ford GT, a Rolls something, a new Maserati 'vert, and a bunch of tacky limos with drunk people in them. The Carrera GT revved its engine a bit (good), and then took off like an old lady while revving (lame-o).

Not sure, I passed it on the other side of the highway. It looked fairly new though.

993 911TT
M-B SLK350  AMG (thats what it says)
M-B 'Brabus' CLK 500 something or the other

about 3 or 4 Mitsu EVOs...some are modded and look really sharp.
about 5-6 Impreza WRX
usually 2 souped up S15 silvias
sometimes 1 R34 GT-S
too many M-B S and BMW 7s, but ALL V-6 models.
3 or 4 Alfa Romeos -147/156/166 (beautiful cars!)
4 to 5 Citroens, mostly C5s and couple of hatchbacks
