Blue Footed Booby posted:Cross-posting from the scale modeling thread: I saw a JDM car like that in an issue of some magazine a friend of mine got me because, quote, "I had a subscription freebie, couldn't decide on anything for myself, and thought you needed monthly cars-and-boobs." It wasn't road legal because the metal panels on the windows restricted visibility, even with drilled peep holes, alas. Google isn't helping me right now, but I want to say it was a feature story in Super Street circa 2012-2013. Will try and find it...

dpack_1 posted:When I bought my car last year it came free with a dozen assorted unlabelled CD-R's with unknown Eastern European music on each, and 1 Viagra, still in a blister pack. The way I see it, that's what the £900 was for and the car was free. My family's station wagon was broken into and ransacked at a hotel once, but nothing was stolen. They did, however, leave a Brooks & Dunn cassette tape under the seat.

My roommate once flew to Denver and drove back to Bozeman with a Subaru BRAT he bought on eBay. I would send him those photos, but his wife would murder me.

I was in Ukraine a year ago, and was poking thru my photos looking for cars and discovered I did a poo poo job of shooting the cool cars I saw. I mean, "cool" by my standards, which was a lot of, "OH gently caress THAT'S A MARQUE I NEVER SEE IN THE US!" I did spend a lot of time giggling at Ladas, and I thought I had one shot of a particularly ridiculous one from a moving bus, but it's too blurry to make anything out. I did, however, manage to get a couple shots of these pickups completely incidentally, and I now want one.  (Kiev has some fantastic murals, and Trash Bag Whale is in my top 3)  Also, this was the interior of the Skoda our airport driver picked us up with. He didn't speak much English, so I wasn't able to ask him any questions, but I'm pretty sure he was either a racing driver or some kind of security driver in a past life, based on the way he maneuvered us (very, very quickly) from downtown Kiev to Boryspil.  I wanna go back

...I'll be in my bunk. For a variety of dumb nostalgia reasons, I want an old Sirocco  Also, that Fairlane with the little model diorama of itself is perfection.

madeintaipei posted:Lol, just lol, if you don't duct-tape the whole car and hope the exhaust doesn't burn through it until you get home and can screw that rusty hasp which has been sitting under the porch for a year to the door. "I used the heavy duty duct tape, because I have errands to run before I can get it to the mechanic. What? No, it's fine, I have the rest of the roll with me." "Oh yeah, sometimes it pops out of gear when stopped on hills, so you have to be prepared to left foot brake. What clutch pedal? It's an automatic." "The hood latch is a bit touchy, but if you pop the interior latch and then slam your fist right above the emblem like you're the Fonz, it pops right open. Eeeeeey!"

madeintaipei posted:IIRC, The Subaru SVX Alcyone went to production almost exactly like the concept car. I'm tired of driving cars that need a lot of TLC to keep on the road, but I would rock an SVX Alcyone in a second if one was available nearby. It's the perfect intersection of my childhood love of Subarus and my teenage weeaboo years

Imagined posted:Anybody watch Ford vs Ferrari yet? I thought it was p good but misleadingly titled. Ferrari is little more than window dressing. Should be called Shelby vs Ford. I want to say the book was more 50/50 between the two, but it's been forever since I read it. I only really remember the parts where Lee Iaccoca went to Italy and thought he was hot poo poo, and then got slapped the gently caress down by everyone he met at Ferrari. Gonna guess they started to adapt the movie and decided there was more meat in the Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby: Race Bros story than the rest of it.

McTinkerson posted:I will add combine demolition derby to that list as well. The semi-local farmers co-op hosts them as often as they can (Combines do not get decommissioned often). And yes, they run the thrashers. I drove into a tiny town in a remote part of Eastern Washington once while they were advertising for their combine demolition derby. I had to Google it to make sure it was what it looked like it was. I should really go attend sometime...

Olympic Mathlete posted:RX500 is one of the coolest wedges. The lights on the back light up differently depending on what the driver was doing. Top green was hard acceleration, bottom red for hard braking. Middle red for cruising and the others for various states between... Holy poo poo, this is the first time I've heard of that, and my mind is blown.

Olympic Mathlete posted:It's super-loving-cool and quite clever. I have this dumb idea to put a hat switch on my steering wheel that's hooked up to an LCD display behind my windows that can spit out things like, "SORRY!" or "THANK YOU!" or other pre-programmed messages so I can communicate my intent to other drivers, because I think lack of communication is the core of most road rage...so this whole light code thing pleases me.

Could be worse on the license plate front. During metal shortages in the World War years, they'd make the plates out of pressed soybeans, so sorta like painted cardboard. Which was fine, until they got wet and disintegrated, or randomly devoured by livestock. They're rare as hell, obviously. My mom's got one in a display case in her living room.

I can live without pushbutton start, but give me adjustable lumbar support, heated seats, and wireless Carplay and I'm good. (Current car has the right seats, but Carplay only via cable...alas.)

Colostomy Bag posted:I was the rear end in a top hat dad. Teached my kid in a defunct Home Depot lot over an afternoon until he got the hang of it. Then basically told him, course Manual 101 is over. When you are on a hill with someone on your rear end you'll graduate quite quickly in a few seconds. Dad? I didn't know you had a forums account.  I grew up on the side of a mountain that's covered in ice 6 months out of the year, so I learned how to hold the clutch on the friction point at stop signs right away.

Fifty Three posted:That is an excellent shirt. I have their Subaru "the world is flat" shirt and it's been the start of several great conversations. Oh man. I had that sticker on my guitar case, but I ran into too many weirdos at gigs who thought I was a flat earther, so I cut off the words and left the piston graphic.

Fifty Three posted:Mine's written in Japanese and in the Subaru WRC colors, so that skews the responses a bit. I still get people who recognize the image, which is cool. I have a Porsche Museum keychain, too, so it's a fun bit of geeking out when someone knows the reference. I also get a lot of comments on my Nicky Hayden keychain and hoodie
