My friend has one which I've driven a bunch. It's silly, and the brakes definitely can not keep up with the powerplant.Quote:

Yeah, that's it alright. Sharp looking British sports car, but fell way short of the Cobra (even though Carroll Shelby was involved). And it was the same story for me. I was into MGs and Minis, so I had a lot of "British Car Club" friends - one of whom owned two Sunbeams: an Alpine and a Tiger.Quote:

I’m no engineer— but that looks like a lot of work to make a straight axle try to compete with independent suspension.
Is this “2024 Hydraulics” on steroids and I’m just dumb?
Hilarious to see a truck with a 3ft lift that only has 8 inches of ground clearance.
Oh— and they wrote White Chicano Privilege wrong.
This was outside OCC Roadhouse, which is Sr's spot here in Pinellas Park. They have a huge outdoor entertainment area and restaurant. This is Truck and Jeep night and they do a line dancing live event that night too. I am never surprised at the stuff I see there.Quote:

These guys do some work on my trucks. Good guys, but their taste is a bit different than mine. They do great work though.
Countach. The kid was losing his mind.

Just now at the trailhead.
Ridiculous.
Mid 50s Chevy truck. The pic doesn’t do the paint justice. Had a cammed-up newer V8.

Do those tires actually have air in them? [the blue truck upthread]
Attachment 500367I grew up with a red 67 in the driveway
Yesterday I saw a Ranger bass boat with a custom red white blue sparkle paint job with matching trailer & huge outboard. Unlike most trailers which are basically just rails, this had an aero cowling that was shaped to marry up to the boat and had the same sparkle RWB colors. It was bleeding ‘Merca
No pic unfortunately
That's a pretty shiny MGA to be out in the wild.

Sorta qualifies- I rented this truck for a few days for a quick golf trip needed a ton of space for 3 guys with gear and felt like something new for a change. Ok
Someone better talk me out of buying one soon. Me likey…
Some of the cooler vehicles I've seen this year

1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I - check out the round door.
"An unlikely combination of extravagant European coachwork on a conservative British chassis, the car began as a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I, and in 1934 it received a unique body built by Jonckheere of Belgium."

don't get me started on that ridiculously tiny bed...barely fits a pair of 196 skis, hope ya don't have anything longer in the quiver.
fact.
I rented one out west and had similar thoughts.Quote:

The bed is really small and our skis/ski bags had to be wedged in.
But it accomplished it's suburban duties in fine fashion. 3 men, golf gear and probably a case or 2 of UC. #notatruck
If they moved 3' from under the hood to the bed we'd have a winner?Quote:

Sir this is TGR, where the only vehicle with any utility is a diesel, manual trans, euro-wagon. Bonus points if you have to stockpile parts for the frequently needed service items.Quote:

Hello kitty punisher for maximum wtf
People are so fucking strange.
All of which I'm totally fine with. Small/Mid-size trucks are way more appropriate and useful for their suburban/urban adventures instead of the full-size lifted superduties on 25" wheels that are used by so many to do their daily errands.Quote:

Hood length is the same on 3rd and 4th gens, but the 4th is taller.
Yeah, that jumped out at me too. It's like having a Let's go Brandon next to a Greenpeace sticker.Quote:
