Car-spotting thread

I love the shooting brake style of those and the Panamera wagons.
But I still want to know how they call an electric car a turbo? Unless they are referring to the turbines at the power plant that makes the electricity…

I had the same question when I posted a pic of the same car a few months ago.

PS do they only come in Florida white?
 
Met some friends at the Long Branch car show. This was an incredibly nice Backdraft Racing Cobra with a 5.0 Coyote in it. I loved the subtle stripes. Gloss black on a metallic black body. He told me he paid $59k a few years ago, which does not seem unreasonable given the apparent quality of the build. You could easily spend that much on a Factory Five trying to duplicate it. Prices have increased and a rolling Backdraft chassis like his is $55k, before the $16k drivetrain package.

Unfortunately for him, he has not been able to register it properly and relies on a used car dealer plate to be 'legal'.

After a lifetime of Corollas (or at least the 22 years I've lived here), my neighbor treated himself. It's taken me over a year to catch it outside!

Pulled into the D&L lot and DCNR was finally fixing the potholes at the entrance then I saw this on the back of the truck
I had to ask "you bustin someone's balls or one of you just learning? They laughed and said "he's not here today but we have a new driver "
I felt from the laughing and answers that they were unofficially busting balls

Saw a student driver sign on a NJ Transit bus during my morning commute today.

Thats a really beautiful paint job....I am more into the classic look cobras myself, but I can appreciate backdrafts more modern take on them. The only thing that I dont get is that all of them have those pep boy looking side pipe guards.

So he went from a corolla to a camry? 🙂

To be fair, I think it looks pretty hot in person.

The guards look like shit but they're a good idea. When I used to go to inspection, my car, which has ceramic coating but no guards, burned one of the inspectors. Came back a year later and he didn't recognize me but pointed to a scar on his leg and said "I know to be careful around these!" I've heard that chrome sticks to the skin. shudder
