What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

I saw this 2018 GT-R R35 at a gas station in town the other day but the guy left before I could get my phone out. I went to the dealership yesterday and look what was up for sale!

This just happens to be the same color as my 2018 Rogue. I was told that the guy traded it in for a brand new BASE MODEL Rogue and $50,000. I wanted to get better pics of it but the room it was in was tiny and full of windows with the sun low in the sky.

Later-

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that an "Orange Peal" finish on that paint ?

Not often do I need to ask "what is it?", but that is what I posted to social media when I saw one of these (photo grabbed from the internet). I thought it looked like a Karmann Ghia, but it wasn't. Or so I thought. 
Turns out, it is. A type 34 Karmann Ghia. From what I am told.

Yes, a model not sold in the USA but a lot of them have made their way here over the years. When I lived in Germany 1969-72 the family across the hall from us had one as a second car

I am not familiar with what ever this car is including who makes it. With your mention of him trading it in for a Rogue plus 50K can I assume it's Nissan?

Nissan GT-R.  Their legendary performance coupe.  The current generation has been around over a decade.

We live in Jackson Center,Ohio which is the home if the Airstream trailer factory so out of state license plates are not uncommon. However this week there are hundreds of Airstreams in town for their annual Alumapaloosa rally so our little two traffic light village has them everywhere. What I saw was a plate from the Northwest Territories. That's the plate shaped like a polar bear. First one I have ever actually seen.

Friday Night at Holy Field Winery I'm standing in line at the Food Truck when this guy pulls in the parking lot with a '57 or '58 Ford F100 in Moon Eyes Yellow and White. American five spokes with dark gray centers and couldn't be any lower unless it was on Air. Of course the Tail Gate was a little higher in the air just like it should be. Now I have to find a '57 Ford F100 short bed kit to build.

Not exactly "on" the road, but down the road and over the hill, past the swamp and the prison, then take the third left, go seven miles...

Great set of "rusting in peace" photos. Thanks for sharing.

At the annual community car show in our village we had beautiful weather which naturally equals lots of cool rides that might otherwise not leave their garages. That group ran the gamit from a 12 cyl Ferrari to  '23 Chevy touring car. My absolute favorite was a'27 Buick speedster with a twin carb straight six engine and only slightly muffled exhaust.
