NISSAN  GT-R. 

The 2019 model lists at $99,990 according to Google.
Why someone did that to the car shown, is beyond me.

More money than sense, I guess...

If it was vinyl and you have cash to do this, it does allow for you to change the looks if the car, sometimes for the better, but many times.....for the worse, without spending a huge amount of cash as it's maybe a few thousand for a wrap like that vs in the 10 digits for paint and protects the factory paint for when you want to sell it after getting bored with the car.

I wonder if such vehicle desecrations have to be reported to Car Fax much like a major accident or something.

If it's wrapped, that would likely improve the resale value of the car since it's protecting the factory paint.

Maybe it's a satirical take on the on-every-street-New-York-classic the graffiti beater van?

Whoa!  Classic  New York City street survivor!  That's a truck that's taken 20 years plus of pounding!  Amazed that it has hub caps!

 Hey Chuck Most... this one's calling our name!

So many great looking cars. That little black Valiant could be the best sleeper ever with some steelies on it.

Yesterday driving around Columbus, Oh on I-270 I saw a sharp red Corvette (C6) Z06 in traffic during a rain storm...coming back home late last night on I-71 saw a dark Corvette (C7) that had gone off the road into a ditch...snow was coming down and many vehicles were off the freeway...

I like the wheels and tires. I wonder if they are a styling statement or for the type of driving this rig sees. Neat old truck, I'll bet it could haul home anything he's buying.

Ah, a sighting of the rare IH drywall catcher in its native environment.  Two things I noticed: its missing a side mirror and (2) was that a for sale sign in the rear window?

I saw this. I had gone past it up the hill. It was parked by a driveway which had a similar looking car (yellow I think) and 55 or 56 two tone Chevy (Black/white?) in the garage. My guess, the owner of this was visiting a comrade.

Sorry it's a bit grainy, I cropped the pic to make the car a little bigger.

We had a warm spring day on Tuesday, the coolest thing I spotted was a Little Red Express truck on the way to lunch at 9pm. Too dark for a pick and I was driving.  The kid riding along was clueless to what it was, he is 29. LOL
