Cars that make your jaw drop.

[PaulR]

Never mind, I saw PaulR's purchase. He wins, so incredibly badass.
I deleted my posting in shame

“Just to clarify — I said brought, not bought. I didn’t purchase the four‑wheel‑drive Impala. I only brought it to the ‘cars that make your jaw drop’ thread because it fit the vibe. Wish I owned it, but unfortunately it wasn’t mine.”

It was in Petaluma for the American Graffiti Car Show….

There used to be an early 70s 4x4 'cuda in Concord with the license plate BADFISH

My teenage son sent me this completely unprompted today, somewhere around Tahoe City
Kid made me proud.

Love it!
You're right, tho... a 4x4 classic station wagon would be so badass!

SUV’s looked pretty sweet back in the day.

I always thought a short wheelbase 4x4 full size van would rock

 

[Rtmac]

I hate myself for not being into custom vans in the 70's and 80's... WTF was I thinking?

That Chevy window is classic.

Dig it. Feeling like a Scooby snack.

Straight out of the JC Whitney catalog

Early 'Cuda 4x4. Love it.

Because Bruce loves his Caddy stuff. Give a F1 Driver one to rock for a bit and you get this opinion.

They should let Bottas have a go at some of the other offerings in GM’s lineup. ZR1X has damn near double the power of that Blackwing. Now that should probably be illegal or at least have some requirement of proving driving competency or something to be able to buy.

How about cars that make your jaw drop in a WTF way?

This might as well be Kia.

New FErrari?

New FErrari?

I mean it's a decent looking $40,000 Kia, it does at least have that going for it.

Kia Errari has a ring to it, no?

The interior of that abomination Ferrari is kind of neat in a simplistic industrial kind of way. That’s the Jony Ive that designed the iPhone.

But the wrapper that car comes in?!? Yeesh. If Jony had something to do with that, that’s going to absolutely ruin his legacy.

In no way shape or form do I see anyone except the most blindly loyal rabid Ferrari collector plunking down half a million for that piece of trash. May as well spend that money on a Rolls Royce Spectre. At least that disposable appliance looks great inside and out. And nobody laughs at one of those other than the fact that it cost so much.
