I recently saw a Camaro lifted at least 9 inches to fit giant wheels on it. I just don’t understand people these days.
Just by being red, it was interesting. I thought everyone bought that blue they use on the rally cars, then painted the wheels gold.
Saw a new Acura NSX which is interesting in and of itself but even moreso because I saw it in the parking lot of a Costco. If you’re not familiar with Costco, they’re a big box store where even panko crumbs come in 10 gallon size boxes. The NSX has a 3.9 cu. ft. trunk which might hold a single Costco size package of oatmeal.
I’ve seen those before; it’s a look, a unique (usually ghetto look). A look I don’t want.*
The weird thing is he didn’t have big tires, they seemed normal sized but clearly didn’t fit “right” into the wheel wells.
- IF/When I hit the mega-jackpot lottery something like my 7th or 8th car will have hydraulic suspension so I can make it go hippity-hoppity. That car might get oversized rims with ultra low profile tires. The purchase of this car would mean I’ve run out of remotely useful stuff to buy.
A 7th generation (1971-78) Cadillac Eldorado coupe. My god those doors are huge!

I was in Las Vegas last weekend and saw a parade of low riders going down Las Vegas Blvd, working all their hydraulics. It was fun to watch.
Who drives a Maserati in a snowstorm?!
This evening I saw an Audi R8. Looked to be a 2014, flat black…first one I have seen.
Someone who just barely was able to afford a Maserati and has nothing left for a second vehicle.
In my youth I drove an MG Midget. I loved that car, but driving it to work in snowstorms was awful.
It was an ordinary make of car, I didn’t have time to ID the make and model. But I did notice the license plate, American Samoa.
I’m smack dab in the middle of the continental US. I can see loving your car, but wouldn’t renting or leasing be easier if you were going to be on the mainland for a good period of time?
Perhaps it was a soldier who shipped his car home when his retired from the military.
I didn’t get out and drive around today but with the warmer temps this week, I’ve seen plenty of Corvettes, a few Porsches, and an Audi TT out and about. Today though, with a high of 60, out came the motorcycles. Spring is in the air.
Likely, but from what I’ve heard that DOT can be a hassle about safety, even if the car is a model sold in the US. It’s usually simpler to sell it and buy another when you get home if it’s not a classic (over 25 years old). I saw a 70s Dodge Colt with Puerto Rico plates on it in Chicago once.
The exception is if you buy the US version where you are then bring it home with you, but I think there’s a time limit to that.
AmSamoa and Puerto Rico would have no problems with moving the car to the 50 states, both being US Territory where the cars sold are US standards-compliant.
Military people and other federal personnel posted long-term to another state/territory may ship their car to their new post without having to change their registration as usually required, keeping the plates of their official domicile jurisdiction (but must comply with the local insurance requirements).
1948 Lincoln cabriolet - sitting in front of the detailers
First-gen Acura NSX.
Don’t see too many of them around, and this one was more unusual because it was exiting the student parking lot at the university where i teach.
Yesterday I saw two (two!) JGC CRDs (my shorthand for the Diesel Grand Cherokee - Jeep Grand Cherokee, Common-Rail Diesel). I am surprised I do not see more out there, and yes I am very biased. I own one and love it - essentially you get V-8 gas engine performance with better than V-6 gas engine fuel economy and range. I go weeks and months without seeing another JGC CRD on the road. America is averse to Diesel, for many reasons.
I got you beat. Yesterday I parked a 60s era Jeep CJ-6 with a rare factory option Perkins Diesel.
(Mine wasn’t green, but sand colored)
Cool, you sure do. That sounds pretty rare for a non-military surplus M-151.
Today, a silver BMW 2002, CA-558LLN in fair shape with a good sounding engine, but well loved as a daily driver. The interior had a ‘patina’ and a baseball was used to hold up each front seat headrest - a unique and artful solution.
Yesterday, after the silver 2002 I saw a red Lamborghini Huracán.
