Not sure if this thread is replacing the other ones (ie the cell phone pic threads), but:

The girly font on this makes it. I forget the name of it - like a serifed Comic Sans for little girls.



W124 coupe with AMG badges and AMG wheels, less than 30k miles on it, belongs to the owner of a local body shop. Not sure where this falls in the AMG taxonomy - is this a Hammer?



Saw this gate out in the country. There's a spoilered 1st facelift WRX or STI up top, but the rest were trucks.

That's Fink Roman. It's from a typeface that is based on the hand lettering of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.

Holy crap, you're right. I've seen it on some of my buddy's little girl's toys; I guess they appropriated it with zero fucks.

Zeder Z-250. Jalopnik reminded me of this recently and called it Chrysler's would-be Corvette, which isn't really accurate. I do quite like the styling, especially for the period.

I don't follow. Bertone did the Zeder in the early 50s, before the DB2-4 which was the first with those fins; the Mk III was late 50s.

So Toyota's new chairman said something last week about wanting to make a Supra again, and I was doing the math on the MKIV TT and realized it cost about 75k in today's dollars. I wonder how they'd package and price one today. It seems to me that 50kish would be the sweet spot, above the IS but not stratospheric. I can't think of any amazing 4 cylinders in Toyota's line up right now, but a turboed 2GR could maybe get them to 500 horse, or UR closer to 6. Of course, since the SC concept from last year is supposed to go into production, it could be that it fills the Supra shoes instead.

Too bad whatever comes won't look like the last one.
