There was a little post there, just high enough to lean my ass against. I was waiting for the cop to get to me, he was investigating an unrelated accident that happened at the exact same spot in the road.
It looks like you're leaning against something that does not exist. Explain yourself, witch.
To my surprise I saw an R33 Skyline GTR in town today. I definitely did a double-take (and follow) just to make sure. It was right hand drive and everything; I wish I had my camera on me.
It was silver, basically looking like this:

There was one that popped up on the Berlin Turnpike a few years ago (really popular cruise/race spot in CT) You could almost hear the simultaneous hard-ons of the ricer crowd as it pulled by. Kid thought he was pretty hot shit for a bit, attempted to drag a rusty Chevelle at a stop light.
Problem was, that rusty Chevelle was packing a built 454 with a custom 4 link rearend and 2 stage nitrous. You would think someone with the means to import a Skyline would know that its really best in a road race enviroment, and not really a drag car.

Anyone else think this is what the Challenger fascia should've looked like? Apparently it's a third party mock-up of what a Chrysler Cuda could look like.
It doesn't matter. Most of the people who would go to the hassle of importing a Skyline would race it against anything because the import crowd likes to think the Skyline and the Supra are the end all be all of cars.
I'll probably get alot of that when I drop a 400hp 302 into my Mustang.

I like it, but I dont think the Cuda name should be anything other than a plymouth.
This would be like having a Buick Firebird or a Mercury F-150.
In other personal car news, my baby gets closer and closer to being back on the road after a nearly 13 year hiatus. Parts are coming in nearly daily.
like this:
And its time to play name that part
I am a clutch cable and a tranny swap away from having her roadworthy again.

Audi announced another new model that looks like it's going to kick ass. They've been on a roll.

I would definitely consider this car based on that description. I love the 2.0T engine, and that's awesome if it is really that light. Meet these criteria and I'd consider one:
1. Roomier than a TT. Please please! I don't fit in a TT. I don't care if it's a two seater as long as I fit in the important seat.
2. Make it that light. Audi's are super heavy. I have a hard time believing they'll get this to even the high estimate of 2,800lbs.
3. Coupe version. Convertibles are nice, but they're for girls.
4. No Audi tax please. All their cars are so over priced. I lol at $35k gTTi's.
Who am I kidding though, there's no way this is less than $45k(at which point it's not worth the $ anyway)
edit - I shouldn't say announced, this story is based on rumor.
