I think that all depends on what exactly we're looking at!

There are at least two new M3s locally I've seen that are in that exact combo. I don't hate the interior...but with the green? Eww. No. Maybe with black or solver or something. Or orange.

Exactly right. And thank you for not posting Rosie in a gown. Funny gal, but no one wants to see that.

Most buyers in NA wouldn't be able to pronounce Joule.

I've always thought that the most interesting vehicles could be painted in awful colours, and it will always work. The Porsche 911 and BMW M3 are prime examples of that. Phoenix Yellow 🤮 Whatever this green is called. 🤮 Raspberry Red Apricot Beige Rubystone Red Caramel Brown On a normal car, any of these colours would be absolutely terrible.

Excellent names for EV cars that either exist or should exist, and would tick people off: Charger Ford should make a high performance version of the Mach-E and call it the Shelb-E. And not the sticker and stripe car Shelby American made a couple of years ago. Stellantis should make a high performance package for the Charger, and call it the Hem-E. Yeah, I said it. Futura Electra Fusion Volt - I'd argue that a performance version could be called the Kilo-Volt or Mega-Volt. Lightning Comet

Heck yeah!

Depends how windy it gets.

Definitely designed for function. Improved capabilities are what AT is all about. The big flat things are awnings. Perfect for staying dry while camping. And in the past, I've actually spec'd these on service bodies, so that when working the mechanics have somewhere dry. Either to work under or just...be dry for a bit.

My issues finally arrived here in Canada. To be fair, we are in the midst of a postal strike with rotating walkouts, so things are quite delayed for all things postal here.

Well, they're not stupid builds, but we've partnered with Yakima and have two of our trucks featured at SEMA this year. Unfortunately, I am not in attendance. This is our Ford F250 XL with our AT40 package. We have our rear 4-link suspension with air bags, body mods, electronic CTIS, and 40" tire package. We also figured we'd make it something special, so we turned this into a regular cab shortbox Super Duty. Truck is for sale if anyone is interested. And this is our new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser AT37 package. Two inch suspension lift with R53 shocks, relocated the rear axle, body mods, and 37" tires. This is the first one in North America, and is sold. But if anyone wants one, I can help!

I don't mind the colour itself, but not on the Miata. I think it suits the CX50. Miata should be a fun colour. Red, bright blue, yellow, British Racing Green, etc. I'll allow white, black, and silver too.

One correction...there will be no Challenger. It's all Charger, either 2 door or 4 door. People can say what they want about the engines, but you have to admit this a bad ass looking sedan.

Anyone have some good sources for 3d print files for big rig detail parts? I don't want to buy parts, I want to buy files. Lowered suspensions, working steering, grilles, air cleaners, engines, battery boxes, tanks, etc. I have a couple of Peterbilt kits I've been thinking about getting onto. But they need some sprucing up. I looked around Cults, but didn't find much that grabbed me. Anyone?

SEMA starts this week. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a Hellcat swapped new Charger there.

Not sure how it works down there, but around here, the shop could have put a garage lien on the car, then after a certain time period (I think one year) the car becomes property of the lienholder, who can then do whatever he wants with it. Drive it, scrap it, sell it, whatever.

There's a thread around here somewhere. There are a few of us that modify and build our own guitars. I've done a few kits, but prefer buying Ebay wrecks, and then turning them into something special. Almost all of my guitars have been modded in some way. Usually pickups and bridge upgrades.

I like it!

Probably for the same reason that diesel trucks need over 1000lb/ft of torque. It wasn't that long ago that we could buy a 1 ton diesel truck, with half the torque, and still managed to tow massive 5th wheel campers with zero issues. Or why current trucks are so physically huge. I'm 6'6" and I cannot easily reach into the box of a new Ford Super Duty to put stuff in or get stuff out. Or why any sportscar needs wheel diameters larger than 19". As a massive lifelong Porsche nerd, I question why the GT3RS exists when the standard GT3 equals it in almost every way for $40-50k less. And to go a step further, for the majority of Porsche 911 buyers, why does the GT3 exist when the standard Carrera is already more car than they will ever use? And to go even further, why does the Carrera exist when the Boxster will be more car than most Porsche buyers will ever use? Just because.

The two door has been out since 2024. The four door is being released for 2026 model year. And the Hurricane inline 6 engines are building now, should be at dealers soon. Personally, I think the EV version is fantastic. Drives beautifully, looks great, fast, comfortable. And it's a heck of a deal right now. However, I think they should have launched the car with the gas engine. And launched with both the 2 and 4 door models at the same time. People will still moan about not having a Hemi V8. Even though the basic inline-6 has more horsepower, more torque, better fuel economy, and cleaner emissions than the 5.7L. In the trucks, it's faster than the 5.7L Hemi ever was. And the HO Hurricane 6 is a better performer than the 6.4L SRT Hemi, with more HP and torque.

My daughter works as a counsellor for a summer camp. Every fall, they do a haunted house experience in the woods on the grounds of the camp. It takes about 20 minutes to wander the trails and experience the various scare stations. Anyway, this year, I was voluntold that I'd be one of the scarers. So I donned my blackest outfits, put on the supplied mask, and lurked in the woods. Apparently, got a lot of comments that I was the creepiest character. Probably the only time that's a good thing at a camp for kids. I felt like I was in some Norwegian Black Metal band. Without the murders. Or the church burnings.

I think that looks awesome. Perfect colours for a 90s icon like that. I've heard this is a challenging kit to build. Yours might be the best example I've seen.

I've had a couple of cool jobs. In 1991, I started as a lot attendant/detailer for the local Volkswagen/Porsche dealer. Porsche were my fav cars growing up, so this really excited me. Over the next few years, I got a chance to drive all kinds of rare and expensive cars. Here I am, 18 years old, and I'm allowed to take cars home with me. Bring home new 964s, a 928 GTS. I remember getting to spend a weekend with a 964 C4 Cabrio in Rubystone Red. I was there until 1997. Spent a few years doing the similar thing at the BMW dealer. Then in 2001, went back to the same VW/Porsche dealer, this time as a Porsche sales person. Again, I was encouraged to take the demo vehicles home on weekends. We were heavily involved with the local chapter of the Porsche Club of America, and did autocrossing every other Sunday from April through September. The training sessions that Porsche did for new vehicles were amazing. Each training sessions was two or three days at a special venue in the US. We got to do some classroom learning, then a day or street driving, then a day on a racetrack. California Motor Speedway, Fireball Raceway, Texas Motor Speedway, Road America, Laguna Seca, Barber Motorsports Park. n 2004, our dealership won Porsche Premiere status, which means we were top 5% of dealers in NA, based on sales numbers and customer satisfaction scores. The first Canadian dealer to ever win that. This meant we won a 4 day trip to Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. We got to go bass fishing for a day with a private guide. Then a fancy dinner and private tour of the Alabama Sport Hall of Fame, hosted by Bart Starr from the Packers. Then we got to spend a day on track, not in the usual 911s and Boxsters. This time it was in Turbos, GT3s, and GT2s. And we got to ride the track in the new Carrera GT. Our instructors were Doc Bundy and Hurley Haywood. The coolest part came after. Because of flights, I was spending an extra night at the hotel, so after the track day, the instructors and hosts were giving me a ride back to the hotel. After everyone left, we were all just hanging around. And that's when it got awesome. "Hey, we still have the track for another hour or so, want to do some more laps?" So I got to go out and do some personal one on one driving with Doc Bundy. And then, I got to take the Carrera GT out on the track. Just an amazing experience. My current job is pretty cool too. Sales Manager for Arctic Trucks Canada. I've been able to travel all over Canada, especially up in the north. Have been able to drive a truck up two mountains at ski resorts in the Canadian Rockies. Offroad adventures in Penticton, BC and up in Whitehorse, Yukon. And a couple of trips coming up in 2026, to super remote sites in Quebec and Iqaluit.

I have a Hobbdy Design Super Detail-Up set for the 1/24 Fujimi McLaren F1 kit. I acquired it as part of a collection, but will never use it. Appears to be complete when the parts are compared to the instructions. These appear on Ebay on occasion, fairly pricey. Will trade for one of the following: Tamiya BTCC or DTM kits - Volvo, Mercedes Porsche kit from Tamiya, Fujimi, Hasegawa Detail sets for Porsche kits. Italeri Volvo FH truck kit. Airfix Shaun The Sheep Land Rover

Okay, I'll be that guy. That's not where a Tesla charging port is. Plus, the Tesla, and most other EVs can't charge while the car is "running."
