those wheels, on that truck, just look tacky.  like he ran out of money, bought some wheels off marketplace and spray painted them.

Yeah I’m not a fan of those wheels either; but the truck itself looks pretty cool

Went on a "Canada Day Cruise" today in the Highway Star, saw quite a bit, even an unfortunate accident that, when we passed looked like everyone was ok but then maybe 8 minutes later we pulled over for two ambulances, a fire truck, a fire chief and a police car, so I dunno. But we did see a Dart Swinger, a '60 Bel-Air, a '68 Charger, a '64-ish Chevy panel truck and a '77 LeMans but no pic of those last two.

I saw this behemoth when out and about yesterday. It had its own zip code.

This shows the USA and UK Road differences. I can't see that on our roads as it would get around our roundabouts and only be used on what we call Motorways or you call Freeways! Or our classed roads 'A' and 'B'. A roads through towns and B roads through villages, far too wide and long!

I'd be REAL suspicious of the way those tie-downs are applied.  I'd never think of using the ramp as a securing point.  And is the front end tied down at all?

Came out of my gym and found this Ferrari F8 parked 4 spots away from me. Later saw it ripping down the main drag in my town with a young lad in the passenger seat looking totally terrified!

Wasn't really paying too much attention to how secure it was but now that you mention it, it looks like the front is just loose. And the whole rear tie-down does look quite sketchy. But if it gets the truck home in one piece it must've worked for them.

Yesterday we spotted this on my banks parking lot with a mounted 50 cal (owner says it has no firing pin)...but at 1st glance it appears to be one heck of a bank robbery get-away car...LolIMG_2915_HEIC.jpeg.8c67e2d6c4b1bfe9c84254f462b4d2f9.jpeg

BMW Z3 M Coupe.

A BMW SUV cutting in and out of traffic.  The license plate said MEEFRST.  Of course....

1960 Sedan de Ville, white over light blue, driven by a late '20s couple.  Also an early '80s Alfa Romeo Spider in a light chartreuse yellow.  Both, always-always-always going in the opposite direction.  (Now there's a car maker under served by the modeling industry)

What’s the yellow proto-SUV thing please?

The grey job looks like it might be a Q car. 😁

 1948 Crosley CC Four Station Wagon,  I think

Yes it is a Crosley. It wasn't in bad shape, pretty solid car. The Ranchero wasn't too bad either, some rust and l someone hacked the tunnel for a floor shift. Everything Around the shock towers was solid. Both were pretty complete .
