Our Cars (dream or actual)

[tvenuto]

Nice.  Seeing the pics really highlights the difference between good car photography and great car photography.  It's something I plan to work on and this site will be a great reference.

Love the Opel. My dream car back in the days
Very nice collection.

Some Interesting cars! 911 RSR build is nice.

Nothing fabulous but just went off island and got my new truck(2021 Ford Ranger)

Got a wash the other day.  Playing with settings on the Nikon, but this was about as good as I could do (the car does most of the heavy lifting).

Random street parked Ferrari a couple doors down from me.  Stumbled upon this late while walking the dog.

@Clint_D I don’t know if I could just leave a Ferrari on the street.  I guess it’s a pretty safe neighborhood.

Haha, it's actually nowhere near safe enough to park anything nice on the street in my opinion.  My mk6 GTI got smoked in a hit and run right in front of my house which caused $5k worth of damage.  This Ferrari was just around the corner on a less busy street but still…

Looool that is wild. I wonder if some tech bro had to drop north of a mil on a place with no garage

[Clint_D]

That’s a distinct possibility these days!

[Chris]

Y'all should head an hour and a half down I-35. It's cheaper here.  And we have parking…

[Graeme]

But you don't have Ferraris…

[Clint_D]

I'm going to hold out as long as I can until someone makes me an offer I can't refuse @Chris.  San Antonio is definitely on my radar though.  If I had to leave, it would be to San Antonio or the surrounding hill country.

[goosehd]

@Clint_D Ouch!  Did they ever catch the culprit?

[Chris]

@Graeme:

We're not that gauche. 

Though one of the parents at my daughter's school does drive a Bentley.

Yeah, I get it. And given the way real estate prices are going in Austin, if you hold out long enough, you might be able to afford a house in SA and a mini ranch out in the hill country.

They didn't, unfortunately.  This was back in ~2012 before everyone had Ring cameras, etc.  Luckily, it was all covered under the uninsured motorist policy so I was only out $500.

Freshly ceramic coated. Now she’ll get a full front application of xpel film, plus mirrors and roof. Then tint removed and lighter (legal) tint applied. Sucks to be without her for a few days but good to know she’ll be protected.

[Dmart]

Looks great, love the color. Xpel is a good choice. You plan to go on track with the baby?

Thanks.  Gotta keep it looking nice!  No plans for track day at the moment, just a fun daily driver that I'll always look forward to getting into.

I bought the FJ in December and then had a bunch of work done to it. There's more still on the way. This was taken the other day as I was trying to get to a higher elevation and get away from the smoke.

The Province of British Columbia is on fire. Where I live there are a total of 86 fires with the largest one being 400 square kilometres.
