Stealth Like posted:But the 3 series is the only one that was never split in the first place. If anything, it was the least logical of all the BMW naming schemes. The 5 series is the four door version, with the 6 series as the two door version of that platform. The 7 series is again larger, and with four doors, and the two door version when it existed on the same platform was the 8 series. The 3 series was the only one that combined the 2 and 4 door models together. Guess what used to be the body style of the 3 series cars?  I don't know if the 8 series shared anything with the 7-series, but even if it did, those cars are nothing alike, the 850 is not a coupe version of 750. The 6 series was a replacement for the CSLs that did share some stuff with the 5 series, but I'm not sure if it would be fair to call it a coupe version of the 5er, either.

For that matter, they should stick this thing in a 1 series: and call it the 110!

My Miata's odometer backlight seems to be now operating on this principle and goes on/off as I drive around our lovely roads. I have to wonder though, how did the guy know that his rear blinker was in need of a fixin'?

I was in the US earlier this year and just now over the holidays had some time to go over the photos. Most of these don't have much artistic merit, or are particularly exciting to Americans, but it was fun finally seeing some of the cars we don't get in Europe in person. Surprisingly, not nearly as many Ferraris and other exotics as I'd expect in these places.  Lincoln Versailles  Model S  No Idea  Ford Fairlane 500 1957–1959  Oldsmobile  Mazda RX-2, post facelift  Pontiac Catalina  71-73 Ford Mustang  Cadillac Fleetwood  Fuckin' Space Shuttle  Camero, duh.  Jeep Grand Wagoneer, apparently from the nineties   Triumph Spitfire Mk3  F-body Trans Am Feel free to correct any of my labels, as they are often just guesses.

 Here's one I missed, a clean Fox body Mustang. Also my cousin's husband had a hot-rodded Monte Carlo (I think... I'll ask him for some details) but sadly it was unregistered and hidden in the garage under a pile of crap so I didn't get to ride in it or even get a decent photo. Everyone else I met had boring modern BMWs and stuff. Mister Kingdom posted:The white convertible looks like a 1970 Cutlass. The one you have tagged as a Pontiac Catalina is also a Cutlass.  .Throatwarbler posted:Man the Camaro has the best steel wheel package on the market.

Hard to get a sense of scale with those until you're next to them. I think it helps that my dad used to have one of these, which in retrospect isn't really that big at all, but used to be the bargiest king of the road

Fayez Butts posted:I think it's some sort of Art. That was shot right outside of Rockefeller center in NYC, so maybe it was some sort of TV/movie car? Though having been to MOMA, I could see it being a new exhibit there. KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:If you're ever in DC again and want to gawk at some supercars, show up in Georgetown on a Saturday night. One time I saw an F40, a Gallardo, and two Benz SLSes in the space of about an hour. I've heard that Georgetown was pretty nice overall, but couldn't make it there this time unfortunately. Although I think I got most of the touristy stuff done, I wouldn't mind topping by again for a few days!

Just came back from a re-enactment day at a nearby museum. I'm not really into military  but there was plenty of insane  automotive stuff. I won't comment most of these but will try to answer any questions.  Soft-top military Trabant is a frankly terrifying combination of words.    A Jeep got stuck at the end of first battle and had to be pulled out. I didn't get too many good shots from there as I was too far and without a long tele lens.  Some sort of reservists were demonstrating operations with a convoy including an ambush. Apparently they still use UAZs there.       Lots of people used to have a plastic one as kids.  More stuff incoming once I go through everything.

Still not as bad as my last flight with Delta   It's no Bagger 288 but would be good enough for my trench building purposes.  Was actually parked in the wild there and not a museum piece.

Yesterday I stopped by a burger festival that was taking place nearby over this weekend. Besides the burgers, there were some cool ride: I don't care if it's a POS (even had an automatic) but it looks like the best Corvette ever.    The owner of the Cadillac looked like a clone of Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino, and chased some people away from climbing on the hood.

CharlesM posted:Everything except for the building itself. I hate brutalist architecture or whatever you call that. Yeah that was in Prague's Holešovické výstaviště (Holeshovice exhibition). The Silverado was just there, I think, there was an American-owned burger stand right next to it so I'd assume it was the owner's work truck. They are very rare here so it could easily be part of the show if they just washed and polished it a bit

 Edmunds bought a '66 Corvette for a long-term test. I really like these as you get a lot of details about the daily life with a car like that you won't get anywhere else short of milking an owner for info. http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/1966-chevrolet-corvette-handle-with-care.html

Raluek posted:I saw an old man driving a '68 Camaro the other day, it looked fully stock. Skinny tires (probably whitewalls), pokey-out hubcaps, probably a 6-cylinder. Almost never see them that way. Not a look I would go for personally, but it's kind of neat to see one that's not been hosed with. Check out what I saw in LA last year:
