There are so many American cars here like a Chevrolet Caprice and Caddy XLR and a German monster called Carrera GT and no responses? But a Ford Fiesta review excites people here? Huh?  :lol:

There are only so many creative ways to say "great pictures," you know. ;)

Found it interesting that you took photos of two Ford F-250s from the same generation yet called one of them just a "something."

And no, those Caprice mirrors are not US-stock.

One of them had a cheap black plastic grille which made me think it was a different model. Or is it a different trim?

These mirrors look terrible on the car. The early 1990s Caprice was always a looker IMO.  :praise:

I sadly don't have the fullsize version anymore (that was the fullsize version before I resized and saved it). But that car lives on that street so when the weather is nice I'll take some better shots for you.  :ohyeah:

This is the first Carrera GT I've seen on the street. I've seen three at the Porsche factory / museum grounds and two at the N?rburgring, but that doesn't really count as "street sighting".  :tounge:

It's an option you can get on any Porsche I believe. I've seen everything from a Boxster to a Cayenne with this black-matt finishing.  :ohyeah:

Buttons to engage DNRP...paddles to manually switch gears

The Tach is supposed to swing that way.
