They figured out how to get those things in there & still close the hood. :thumbs_up: Wait a minute…it’s attached with zip-ties! What…!?

I often see these kinds of buggies/off roaders around Norco where my folks house is.




I was on biz in Phoenix and while visiting a friend who works at the Children's Hospital in Phoenix, saw this little gem in parking garage.






I help my pa with his shopping most weekends and saw this awesome Caddy in the parking lot of Stater Bros. in Norco. The thing that still blows me away thinking about it is that . . .it was on with the owner shopping. But he could get away with it because it was seriously, I mean seriously bordering on silent. I actually thought it was the AC running on an adjacent building or some other environmental noise it was that quiet. Then I mentioned it to my dad who grew up in the 30s/40s and he said that was something the luxury cars were known for then. I suppose other cheaper cars made a hell of a racket, but this was as quiet as ANY modern quiet car with an engine and quieter than most.

It was for sale for $9k. I have no idea what the market is for this particular model is in its condition, but that seems reasonable to me, even in this market. The body only appeared to have some flash rust, no dings, and original everything as far as I could tell. I'm sure an expert would have something more to say. But I'd put this up there with with a Studebaker Starliner as old cars I like.









Now for something differnt. I was at CES in January and Audi had a pretty shit hot booth. This concept was pretty cool. It was a two seater, but curiously the seats were not directly next to each other, but sort of on a diaganol. With a little spunk, this would be an awesome kind of car for typical Urban driving.





Notice the full color HUD. It was amazing. The bald guy was an Audi rep explaining the tech with a wonderful, exquisitely clear and devoid of all emotion German accent.



Some other rides at CES. This was at the Ford booth. All electric, smart grid, GPS pilotting and so on. See the hint of Aston Martin lingering?



Here was a Caddy Coupe. Still not a fan, but hey, it caught my attention.



I think this was an old Japanese car of some kind. Adorable!



This GT500 was extra sexed out and I must admit looked fantastic.



Just parked at work. Nice.

The warhammer is still intact, the platoon is there, just been relieved from duty.

Saw a crazy one the other day... Didn't have time to take a pic. At Yorba Linda and placenta blvd in the Von's parking lot, there was a car that must have been in neutral, it looked like it rolled from the parking lot onto the sidewalk and hit a tree. It was wedged on top of a parking burn, between the tree. Pretty funny.
