    A Ferrari 550 Maranello parked streetside with the drivers window down and nobody around
    '67 Pontiac Firebird 400 4bbl 4-speed
    E38 BMW 750iL
    Mitsubishi Lancer wagon
    Mazda 929
    Infiniti I30
    And a mid 2000's V6 Altima that looked like it had gotten into a fight with Wolverine, had two equal length gashes down the drivers side of the car.

    A 1964 Thunderbird with the dealer-optioned rear seat tonneau cover and wire hubcaps. It's probably the rarest car I've ever seen.

    What shutter speed and aperture were you using for that Ferrari photograph if you don’t mind me asking?

    To be honest I'm no professional photographer and I was just using the default camera on my Samsung A52s. Normally I just try and move my phone at the same speed as the car when taking moving pictures, like that Ferrari.

    Our local post office has a Jeep DJ-5. I haven’t seen it in use as a postal vehicle, so I’d assume that it’s probably a parade vehicle

    I don't really like the hubcap paint. I do love DJ-5s, though, so it's pretty sweet.

    Is it just me, or is the VW Golf Country the German equivalent of the AMC Eagle?

    Somewhat. The Country is just a stupid car, and I love it. It's a lifted Golf Synco (AWD model) with bullbars (and miserably rare taillights), weighs almost 300kgs (660lbs) more than my FWD model. Icing on the cake is the missing diff lock which makes it not very good off-road. I heard once they were intended for hunters, but apparently these preferred beetles, I can look for that magazine later.
    If it had locking diffs it would've been somewhat useful, as the short wheelbase and all would've been very useful. 7700 were made, ours is the most common model (5500/6900 "standard" models, depending on what language wikipedia article you look at, 160/1500 (again) "Allround" lower spec models, 558 "Chrom-Edition"s, with chrome bullbars, cream leather and special wheels, and 50 GTIs for workers involved into the thing).
    We bought one as well as a '85 jetta 3 door, (un)fortunately(?) a rare 3 speed automatic. Both sat abandoned for a few years, and while the Jetta just needs a general service, rust and some paint touch ups the country was a small mess, ugly clear taillighs instead of the rare original ones, no original wheels, missing dashboard, guy tried to swap in a jetta fascia and cut holes in the fenders for US style blinkers,
    a loose, not stock leather interior (which is actually pretty nice, that went in again), mk3 door handles, a mk4 key, and and and. My dad's been mostly working on it, and it's actually pretty close to finishing, needs the wheels finally painted (we picked up cheap ones which were red and had old dunlop sport tires on them), some interior stuff, handles (the Mk3 handles look like shit and the repros we bought are kind of eh, as in the rear right one doesn't fit), new locks (because new handles and keys), and a roof spoiler (it has a GTI rear window, which has holes to mount one, and having tape over them doesn't look very good), and probably stuff I forgot about.

    that was a lot, sorry, i just love talking about it
