I'm not a huge fan of modern interiors replacing stock ones on classic cars, but this is really well done.

there's nobody in the driver's seat earlier in the commercial, so it's probably just some guy stealing her mobile phone while she's distracted by all the shouting idiots.

Leaving aside this being an idiotic statement, it's not her husband or whatever. It's a guy pulling into the pump opposite her, and smiling in amusement at the familiar situation he also encounters every fillup.

E: because I was beaten.

What do you mean "let" his wife pump his fuel? I "let" my friends pump my gas if they volunteer to do it.

More like "smiling in smug acknowledgement that yet again, the plebes are ignorant to his superior taste in automobiles:smug:".

Not to drag up the F1 thing again (even though there's nothing wrong with that) but just found this on Youtube. I'm not up on documentaries of F1 but this is great.

Senna is amazing, got a chance to see it when it came to the local arthouse theater near me a couple years back. Absolutely gripping.

Goddamn, I wish I could see this in the theater. Apparently it's also on Netflix so I'll watch it on the TV later. I'm getting amped up for Rush.

The woman's car is an A8, the man's is an A6. Audi shows all their TDI cars in white. They're trying to show two different people driving TDI Audis at the gas station at the same time, but the edit doesn't quite make that clear.

Those flaps that hide the taillights (or whatever's back there) make the car look like a dog sticking its head out a car window on the highway.

IF I CONTINUE TO WHINE ABOUT THE PROBATIONS I RECEIVE, REPORT THIS POST SO THAT I CAN BE PROBATED AGAIN

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:

I'll go ahead and be a dick and say it, but given how many posts before this one had cars that didn't seem to deserve photos taken of them, I'm torn between saying "well played" to this on the assumption that it was a satirical post or asking if there's something actually awesome about that car because I know nothing about Chryslers.

I actually moderate the turbo-mopar.com forums that that guy is a member of. Some of the high points of that car are standalone engine management, CNC ported head, forged pistons, custom intake and exhaust manifolds, t3/t4 turbo, 3" exhaust, massive intercooler, custom articulated hood vent ala classic mopar 'Air Grabber', custom tubular lower crossmember and tubular control arms, custom instrument cluster with VDO gauges, custom chassis bracing around the front of the car (high powered Omnis are known to flex and crack the front of the unibody in several places), running super aggressive Toyo R1R tires, 6k/4k spring rates on BC coilovers.. eesh listing it all feels like work.

TLDR: That car is BUILT, top to bottom, front to back. There's barely a stock part left on it and it's one of the best Turbo Mopars out there, definitely in the top 5 Dodge Omnis ever put together.

One of the other top 5 is doing Hot Rod Drag Week right now and is detuned from mid 140s mph trap speeds to just cruising around running easy 11s, along with another guy in an 11-second dodge shadow (guy also owns a 10-second Shadow and a 10-second Aries and won the GRM $2012 Challenge iirc) and another guy who's racing his daily driver dodge spirit running low 14s (after his turbo 3.5L shadow developed a last-minute problem). They all have hitches on them towing their slicks and stuff around on little trailers to all the different tracks.

In short, i would encourage you to visit Turbo-Mopar.com and have a look around. :iia:

For non-video content, I got to drive this last night:

F550 with a Powerstroke turbodiesel, foam tank, pump, 150ft of 2.5" hose, remote operated nozzle that you can control from the cab, packing a gennie + Jaws of Life, fans, scuba gear, shovels, pike poles, chainsaws + fuel... Everything you need to work fire, road, or water rescue. Oh, and a full leather interior and cold a/c.

In short, I love my job :h:
