The Chevy is what was called a hardtop convertible at the time, for some reason.

I wonder if the current owner still tows or pushes stuff with it, so maybe he does. ;)

Isn't a "Lowrider" an American classic car which Hispanics generally modify to bounce all over the place with the suspension? AFAIK that's basically not possible here thanks to the TÜV.

Hydraulics are a big deal, ya. Some of them are quite attractive, though.

Yes.

If you ever decide on a trip to the US, look up "St Anne's Blessing of the Low Riders" in Detroit.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I saw this 1990s G-Class in Landsberg am Lech yesterday. It had an "E" license plate which applies only to full EVs or Plug-in Hybrids that can travel more than 40 km on a battery charge. I wonder if the owner converted his G-Class... WHY!? Run it on Diesel or Gasoline, bro! So much better than this EV stuff.  :facepalm:

At the classic car show in Landsberg am Lech (stay tuned for the pics) - this historic 1962 Mercedes-Benz LPS 328/36 which served all the way until 1972 as a "rolling field office" for the ADAC. It's powered by a 5.1-l inline-6 Diesel engine with 110-horsepower. HOW DARE YOU!  :wub:

Alfa Romeo Spider Series I  in Augsburg



Other than consisting of low quality steel imported from the USSR, I've often considered the Alfa Spider (round tail) to be the quintessential sports car of the ages.  Beautiful styling, lightweight, well balanced, aluminum DOHC engine, 5 speed transmission, suspension that not only provided for great handling, but also a comfortable ride.  It made the MGB seem like an antique.

I agree with your view.  :cheers:

Third generation 1984-1989 Toyota Starlet in Mühldorf am Inn, Germany. It even had pre-EU license plates. This car is nothing remarkable or special but it's rare to see Japanese cars from that era here these days.









Lexus LC Roadster. Looks weird inside and out to me. I liked the color of the car, though.

I don't think these are valued much by collectors. The 2002? Everyone wants that. But the Touring series? They've basically all disappeared anyway.
