Nice, my wife has decided our next vehicle should be Tacozilla; a truck conversion camper with a working shower and bathroom.

I looked up pictures of the Tacozilla and think it looks great! Looks like a great choice for your next ship :) This is what I call an excellent remake of a classic car unlike the new T1 fake by VW.

Found this custom made traffi sign online and thought it was worth sharing:

Speed limit of 300 km/h (187 mph).



One of my host dad's dream on his bucket list is to drive 300 mph one day, but it's hard to find a car for rental that can go that fast. Most of their engines are locked to much less than their maximum speed. I already looked for race tracks that offer such voyages.

Saw this Buick on my way across the country. One thing I love about summer is all the people taking their classic and vintage cars for a ride. Just my favorite time of the year.




This beauty is up for sale with a price tag of 129,000€.

Those are some of the nicest pics of a schwemmeagon that I have ever seen.
Forgive my spelling.
Shined mine up some today.

Always loved the tires on the Blazer. Reminds me of the good old days when I played GTA San Andreas with friends. Never saw it in this color combination though. Love your car a lot, Clint!
Insiders meet at a local mall here in Dresden on Sundays as I learned last weekend. Passed by on my bike and asked them if I could take pictures of some of them:

All of this takes me back to the days of my youth.
I was lucky enough to grow up during the Mopar/ Motorhead era.
Camaros, Mustangs, Firebirds, Trans Ams, Baracudas, Chargers, Comets,
Cougars, Roadrunners, Super Bees, Chevelles and many others.
Wish I still had my first car.
A 1970 Pontiac GTO. This golden beauty could haul ass down the highway.

Wow, that's a super nice car, DarthHawk! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
I connect many good memories with cars as well. Have been a fascinated fan since I was a boy.
Always amazes me how much zeitgeist cars convey and one immediately knows in which time a movie takes place once you see cars/traffic.

Saw this beauty on a trip to Moritzbrg, Germany yesterday:





I think it's a 1965 Plymouth VALIANT Signet Convertible.

Found this 1/18 scale model of a French beauty from 1947 for 10€ plus shipping.





I got lucky once again because the seller didn't want to ship it first. So I paid another 10€ for the effort and 5€ for shipping. It was much too far away to pick it up and other sellers on ebay offer this exact model by Signature Models for 79,99€ plus shipping.
