Walking the dogs this morning and a 6 Wheeled AMG G wagon passed me on Lakeshore. Holy crap, didn't know there were any of those around. Just like this one complete with roll bar.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Lamborghini parked in front of an Anytime Fitness gym yesterday afternoon. Gym is closed, but I've seen the car there before, wonder if it's the gym owner just checking on the place.

Although to be fair, the old truck is a Mazda mini-truck.

Datsun  ;D

but yes full size vs mini truck. But the roof on the Datsun does not even make it to the top of the tail gate. The GMC is not particularly big by modern standards.

I wonder who would win in a head on collision?   :think: ;D

How is a V12 wagon possibly a bad thing? Are you crazy?
i wouldn't really call that a wagon though...to me, it more resembles a 2 door version of the Mazda 3 Sport (hatch)...wagons are useful and practical...this thing is none of that.

1st (free) oil change for Volt #3, wasn't due with 40% oil life remaining but I went for recall #N192273600: emission pipe may rub against A/C hose connector. Check Ok, Fixed with 3 Tie-rap  ;D

A six figures $ C8 was freshly unloaded from carrier when I was looking cars on dealer lot. Even wrapped, it is an impressive beast.
