Here's a story that @bussin.buses would love! So, throughout the years I have gone into my local town, always using the same route. I first got interested in cars due to this car. It is always outside, yet still in beautiful condition (covered with a tarp in winter). It is a 70's or 80's Cadillac. It only now appeared that they collect them, as they have a 90's Buick and a small garage.
Noooo, 3 miles away from me is an amazing Gallardo example. 5.0 even firing V10, under £80,000, 11,000 miles on the clock, 2009 and it is a yellow convertible. Problem is my dad owns a 2011 Jag XF 3.0 Diesel and we have a better car and house than most of my family so yeah, a man can dream.
There’s someone near where I live who has an early 80s Cadillac, which he occasionally drives, and someone with a beautiful 80s Buick, amazing condition, really nice car.
Someone in my local area (Wasilla/Palmer, AK) owns or at one point owned an, apparently George Barris-customized, Model T called the Glasshorse. I haven't been able to find any references to this car on the internet, but it's got some power to it which the owner isn't necessarily shy about using when leaving a show. While my immediate family is far from rich, two of my relatives once worked for a famous car collector, and I have been inside his (very nice) garage. I was pretty much raised to be a gearhead.
We have 2 car collectors in town one collects US cars like vipers and also he collects porsches the other one collects everything the coolest i have seen from him is a SLS AMG. Then we have a few other cool cars rolling around them being: old Kübelwagens, a bright red C3 Corvette a red f150 pickup a 392 Charger and lots of old porsches and stuff. (I know alot of the us cars i mentioned arent that rare but seeing that we never got them officially they are cool)
All of these cars (other than the Kübelwagens and the SLS AMG) are common in the US, but to see that there are ANY of those in Germany is awesome. Over here, F150s (not red ones) are common, I wonder what people think when they see that thing over there. Especially surprised that he got a 392 Charger. Clearly he seems quite well-off and could probably easily afford a hellcat or one of the last calls. Is the 392 a widebody?
Lucky sighting! For the lightnings, many of them are in red, meaning red is quite a common colour for them. I meant red is rare for the regular F-150s (and basically any other new non-sporty car) you see on the road (usually gray, white, and other boring colours).
Speaking of lucky sightings, I saw a fucking 60s Ford GT40 in the iconic baby blue and orange 'Gulf' livery, just refueling at a local gas station!
Always wanted to see the GT-40. That and the first-gen GT are my dream cars. The new V6 one sucks, how dare they ruin such a cool car with a damn ecoboost V6. If I wanted a V6, I'd just buy the ecoboost mustang. the GT is a V8 car.
Drove my grandad's Aston Martin V8 on a classic car rally. I'm 20yrs old so very lucky to drive it (insurance wasn't easy to get lol).. He's owned the car 34yrs! Covered about 60K miles in his ownership, looks lovely and recently had a lot of work done to it so it drove pretty good. The car event was the Ipswich to Felixstowe run (south east england, UK)
Okay, my friend just had the funniest question asked on a survey (joke survey) It was: How much blinker fluid is there in a Ford ElCamino lmao
