Fading Brakelight Obscurity II - Championship Edition

say what you will about the lifestyle of the trashy drug dealer but it is hard to be mad at a gang of bluetooth-speaker toting, underbody-LED-lit Polaris Slingshots as they putter around like complete goofs

Ford Edition (read the captions on these)

This van

This is a Ford Transit. Specifically, it is said to be the oldest, road worthy example.

Strong disagree I was just stuck in traffic with a gang of these and I think they’d actually wired real speakers into those contraptions and it was awful to be next to

Hey its still available. The auction went screwy, because the person putting the bids up on a display for the crowd, misunderstood the auctioneer. He was saying prices like 13 million and 17 million. But they put up 30 million and 70 million.

Apparently enthusiasm for the auction died off after that and 17 million didn’t meet the reserve.

So what I’m saying is lets pool our money and do a private purchase.

yeah, a colleague at work updated me on the state of the auction and seriously, how could professional people screw that up?

otoh, we still have a chance, yeah!
50, 70, 90, 110, 120, -12… oh dear, that didn’t go well… :sunglasses:

I think a lot of what we appreciate about cars as kids gets lost as we get older. So in our most innocent form, we were able to love cars for reasons we lose connection with as adults. I saw this kid at a grocery store who was enamored by my Miata because “Hey Dad! this car is cute and it’s MY SIZE!”. The dad seemed super annoyed and was just trying to wrangle his kid into the family mall crawler.

No, you don’t have to be a driver to appreciate cars!

seconded, and blood potioned faster than any car i’ve ever driven can get from 0 to 60.
This is the place to drool over bizarre or plain boring cars like an eight year old, and nobody cares whether you can actually drive one!
