Tonight is a Nashville hot chicken and fancy cupcake kind of night 😮‍💨

An E38 Alpina B12 would fix me.

Update: finished the air/spacecraft light kits as well. Still have to work on cleaning up the wiring, but that’s a project for another day.

Boss: Hey, did you take care of those press photos of the 300ZX Pace Car? Me: Sure did, boss! Terrible lighting, lots of reflections. You definitely can’t read the graphics on the side of the car.

Do you ever get together with 6 of your locomotive manufacturing buddies and decide to build a car? No? Just me?

I just had the pleasure of buying and using a Forstner drill bit for the first time, and boy is it nice

I, too, like to burn my hands on the steering wheel.

Idea: host a car show but exclusively for replicas of popular vehicles. Cobras, SS100s, 250 GTOs, 356s, etc.

This is my favorite line from a 1994 review in the LA Times: “Whatissit? Whomakesit?” begged one spectator. It’s an Aurora, we told him, made by a company in Alaska. They plan to market a compact car, the Borealis. And maybe a convertible named Northern Exposure. www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

Oh, now we’re finally getting to the good stuff. Behold, a Chrysler LHS visiting the Hubcap Ranch:

OMFG. 9-4 pulling an RV trailer. It was barely going 50 mph.

Actually this one is better

I endorse this message

Alternative GeoGuessr: what Japanese car is this Geo rebadging? Much shorter game.

Million-dollar idea: GeoGuessr but for random car photos. Where was this Lamborghini Diablo photo taken?

Hey look, we’ve got another Pebble Beach spotting!

Every once in a while, I remember to check Hemmings for local listings. This Nash Metropolitan is why I’ll keep coming back: www.hemmings.com/listing/1955...

TIL that Rodger Ward helped design Pocono Raceway.

Pretending to be @zerindube.bsky.social today by spotting an early 911

This is how I’m heading into the weekend: In a blur, driving a Prelude. Happy Friday, folks.

Stellantis diverting all resources to Eagle Talon relaunch! bsky.app/profile/bens...

If this were made today, it would be called something like “TALON CROSS” and it would be based on that Eclipse SUV.

HE CAME INTO THE RESTAURANT WITHOUT SHOES OR SOCKS

Eating at our neighborhood taco place, and as we’re leaving an older gentleman pulls up in a McLaren Artura. He’s not wearing shoes or socks.

QOTD: what is your favorite aircraft-engined car?

Hey @tamerlaneblog.bsky.social, need an answering machine? www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

Bring back opposed-piston engines (where 2 pistons share a single cylinder).

Ohh, very nice E46 wagon across the street. Also, is that an MIT sticker in the back window? 🧐

What’s funny is that in 1964, he retired from 4 out of 10 races. Despite that, he still won the F1 title. Can you imagine one of the current McLaren drivers retiring from 10 out of 24 rounds and still winning the title?

I love the red AZ license plate (and the Tucson license plate frame), but I’m left with one question: Why the front plate in a state that doesn’t require them?

Got the full lineup of Lego vehicles wired in with lighting kits today. Next up: all of the aircraft/spacecraft

At least one of my neighbors knows how to have a good time.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. The grandparents of 1997 would be sorely disappointed with Chrysler in 2025.

Body roll 😈

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 2nd or 3rd generation Hyundai Sonata.

Who has the cooler blue car? Oh, did you think I was going to pick my Mustang? No, the RAV4 EV is way cooler.

5 weird car internet points to someone who can identify the car in the background on the left-hand side.

After careful consideration, I have decided to just say no…to whatever this is.

*laughs in Mercedes CLA/CLS & EQ*

Don’t talk to me unless your car’s toolkit is stashed in/on the door.

Verdict? It was…fine. Tasted like middle of the road store-bought apple pie. If you didn’t tell me I wouldn’t have known there was anything going on.

Will this be delicious or just dumb marketing? Let’s find out!

Weird flex, but okay www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

Rally-prepped Isuzu VehiCROSS? Hell yeah! www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

Rally-prepped Isuzu VehiCROSS? Hell yeah! www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

Andy Priaulx and Jason Plato’s favorite race car (or at least their most successful).

Who wouldn’t rather be watching the 1999 cinematic masterpiece “The Mummy” starring Brendan Frazier and Rachel Weisz?

C/D printed this *just* a bit too soon…

How many people in total do you think have ridden in or driven an EV1? I’d say no more than a few thousand.

I wish I was old enough to remember these when they came out. This calendar was printed right as production started, and reception was already lukewarm at best.
