Truck Porn? I have always loved this Tacoma Four Wheeler magazine built in 2004.

Well, I do believe that car wins this thread... But then I read this: http://blog.caranddriver.com/tally-b...ack-to-basics/

Just not, sadly, with this car."

In my opinion, the new Aero 8 has to be about the most amazing looking car to come out in decades, but then again, I've always thought that era of styling was the best evar.

Fiat???? Sheeesh...I guess I gotta re-tune my vintage car radar...for I was thinking it was either a SuperAmerica or a Bizzarrini.

BTW...that is a mighty GORGEOUS looking Morgan. Sure a lot nicer kooking than the nearly comical Prowler! Nice job!!

That Morgan is cross-eyed and made of wood.

Doesn't do it for me. Looks like a rehashed version of an old car. Cause it is. I love the old ones, but cmon guys, come up with something new. I feel the same way about the Camano and the challenger, etc... Just because you made something cool back in the day, and nothing cool for years, doesn
the mean that bringing back the same old shape is what you should do. Shows a lack of creativity to me.

**iceman** · 03-15-2015, 09:39 PM

It's more like an homage. When you start looking at the parts there's nothing old-fashioned about it.

There's definitely cars I'd rather have though.

Looks like a 458, with a 918 hood on it.

Pretty sure that's the right hood, just a different color for whatever reason.

You're right... never really noticed the hood shape before.

Only issue with that car is no back seat to forget your kids in!

Iceman totally feels me, in jeans.

Not like that, pervert.

**wooley12** · 03-19-2015, 09:37 PM

Thanks. A 458 with a off color hood. $250K. Pic is from my nephews FB page. There was a time I wouldn't trust him with my lawn mower, and now he plays with these in his shop.

Is that...
-a custom roof bubble?
-an optical illusion?
-something Ferrari is nice enough to do for us tall folk?

Could use one on my new ride for helmet fitment. Certainly not the coolest car in this thread, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far!

I have a friend that tracks his and he raves about the balance, grip, etc. Not just a typical rice burner.

^^ I have a BRZ and yeah, its a fkn hoot! Be careful though or you'll only get 10k out of the rear tires

So well balanced. Kinda like a miata. But dear god, this one does need some added balls.

**basinbeater** · 03-20-2015, 01:40 PM

I'd like to drive a brz.
Somebody here at the office has one. I park close to him sometimes, people almost naturally tend to park the cool cars in the same general area, away from the other cars. Here is my car at the office today.
