Did anyone get pics from the lowrider meet here in Vegas? I saw some amazing poo poo on the road (more than a couple slammed tow trucks) but I was stuck driving.

My friend just sent me an e-mail with some interesting photos of an old ladies garage. "I've been trying to look at these cars for about a year. Finally got to see them. The old lady that owns them thinks they are worth more than they are so I probably won't end up buying them, but they were fun to look at. The bus is all original 73 and in pretty nice condition, just a little rust on the body, but everything else is solid. She said someone told her it is worth $15k... The Porsche is a 62 356 super 90 sunroof. Complete, but taken apart. She said $30k. I'm not sure what this one is worth yet, but I have seen much nicer ones in the 30k range. The 81 year old lady said this car gives you a sexual experience when you ride in it."

I'm not a huge Porsche fan but I'd feel like the biggest badass alive cruising around in that thing.

I want literally every car at the Lane museum. I don't care about supercars or anything like that - I want those cars at the museum. Between the Tatras and the Citroens and the crazy old Renaults and everything else it's just oh my goodness....

The older I get I find myself being less and less attracted to brand new supercars and more and more attracted to older cars that are simply interesting and different. I would love to own a 2cv.

My stepmom had a DS in the '80s. Apparently watching it pick itself up off the ground every time you start it up never gets old

I'm sure if you didn't give two fucks and knew your way around a hydraulic system you could easily replumb one with standard industrial parts, rather than unique special French snowflake parts.

That was the tack I was going to take; figure out how much of it I can replace with a trip to the Princess Auto hydraulics store-within-a-store. I'm sure the reservoirs for the fluid are special princesses though, and I wouldn't be surprised if the fluid viscosity is very important to ride quality. edit: gently caress me, there's specialty boots out the wazoo. https://www.flickr.com/photos/daviddb/3392337858/in/photostream/

Got to visit the small collection of a friend-of-a-friend today. His shop probably belongs here. I'm not much of a car guy but this is clearly the garage of someone who cares about what they've got. Former exterior wall before he added on. There is a second add-on being built next to the first one now. More space = more cars, the cycle of champions.  Engine to something; every car in the place runs or is being worked on to run. The engine to the bug under the tarp is also out and being rebuilt in another room.  Heads to the previous engine.  Bug engine.   Except for the cars belonging to the above two motors, all these run and are driven often.      The dude has rolled up to work in most of these, which I find awesome.

Pretty sure that's a VW-based kit car.

It definitely is but that one looks pretty neato compared to a lot of those kits.

11 bolts? Maybe when the car was new. I think my 58 had about 7 bolts left when I had the pans replaced ><

Screw propulsion is pretty awesome. It's like tracks but better in many ways. Hope you're not in a hurry though.
