There is pretty expensive cars there I saw something like this on my italy trip but instead of classics there were supercars
My uncles 68 camaro post stripping in 1983, I need to get a new picture soon to show what it looks like now, he still has it! But obviously been redone... --- Post updated --- My dads first car, sadly, he totaled it a long time ago
I rarely see this far customized trucks over here but I see some nicely customized ones every once in a while. Sorry for the quality, it's a screenshot of the pic I took inside our car.
They've been confirmed for Australia too so that's nice. Hopefully they aren't melons like current Jeeps (Im looking at you Grand Cherokee)
The U.S. only had the Chevy SS for a few years and now it's being discontinued because of GM's move to more economic cars. On the other side of the industry, the FCA is dropping the Dodge Viper (but might bring it back in a few years). I was looking through a Buyer's Guide edition of a Motor Trend magazine and cringed looking at the SS and the Viper with "DISCONTINUED" on the side of their images.
So the Mustang Highway Patrol car is back out. Dunno what this means, A future still containing V8 HWP cars hopefully.
I went to a car show today. The unofficial "lucky I don't know how to hotwire" award (lol jk, would never gank someone's pride and joy like that) went to the guy who showed up IN A DELOREAN, dang that thing looks cool in person. However, there are some people where you're just like "why would you do that?" Example: "This is one of like 1500 1957 Ford Ranchero base models still in driveable shape and the only one in Alaska... so we stuck underglow and fake lakes pipes on it." Also, you haven't truly lolwatted until you've see a 1930 (or thereabouts) Ford with an 8000RPM tachometer, a digital AFR gauge... and still a flathead straight-4. Maybe there's some kind of obscure drag racing series for the four-bangers, but I've not heard of it if there is. A similar car nearby had a 3500RPM tach, which is probably a slightly more honest representation of how high the engine can actually spin, but I've no idea where he got it or who made it (couldn't get a good look at the logo). If this post sounds less erudite than usual, it's probably because I'm running on <10 hours of sleep and 13.5 hours of work in the last two days... breakfast shift is awful but I wouldn't have found out about that car show if I hadn't been at work when I would have normally still been in bed.
Went to the Nissan dealership to check out the infinity Q50 and take some pics. These have grown on me.. That color. Interesting offroad rims for the Y62. And yes no Q50 pics.
The US is finally getting the actual Patrol model next month, and frankly I'd rather prefer this over the QX80. Infiniti's nice and all, but the redesigned front end they did on the Patrol body never grew onto me, if anything, I would've preferred the Patrol itself, but alas, the Patrol won't be called as such since it's going to be replacing the Titan based SUV the States has had. Also personally like how they painted the A pillars now, just looked so weird with them being black like how it was on pre-facelift and the Infiniti.
Yuck. Nissan hasn't made a decent looking thing in 10 years, and it's a downhill slope. The only Nissan anything that I can tolerate the looks of, are the international model Patrol's, which I actually like quite alot. I'd be thrilled if Nissan would build a new "Titan" on the platform of the international Patrol, but you know that won't happen.
