¬_¬ yeah, I despise Ashley_ - Resident Evil 4.jpeg

There's a Vtuber I follow on Twitch that has been playing through all the ResE games (originals, remasters or remakes as applicable), and she just finished 4. It's been interesting to see how the games have changed as the series has evolved, and we can't wait for the 4Remake to drop.

@Sam-Blockhan Galant plz

@Sam-Blockhan I do like that a lot.

@dogisbadob 🐌? I don't get it.

(A Mazda9 would be awesome! Mazda has a new I-6, so why not?)

@Sam-Blockhan You saw a Diablo?!

Wow, a straight-8, huh? I'd sure like to fire that baby up.

something about the look

Somebody understands me 😄! For me, moss is prettier than rust, and looks good on any car.

Well, there is also the fact that a mossy car might still work as a car. If a car is allowed to rust for 20-30 years it really does start to disintegrate..

@Sam-Blockhan I like the sticker on the MR2. Reminds me of that wacky Bert one concept.

That's a lot of moss. I bet it smells good inside.

@Sam-Blockhan Other than the wing I think the rx7 looks decent. I don't hate it.

@Sam-Blockhan I've never seen an abandoned car on a public parking lot, which probably has to do with the fact that literally five minutes after a car would have been abandoned, somebody would call the police here and they would make it disappear

@Sam-Blockhan First-gen Neons are almost nonexistent here, sadly....I'm one of those people that actually always really loved these. Shame there's not more around!

@Sam-Blockhan Nice find! The Quartz Blue Pearl on that '15 or '16 Forester Touring is lovely, too!

@Sam-Blockhan I had a '91 940 Turbo sedan through much of high school and part of college, really an underappreciated car, more fun to drive than people might assume, and I still do like the look of those wheels.

Unfortunately, the paint oxidized and everything in the interior made of either plastic or leather bleached white and crumbled to dust at around the 10-12 year mark

@Sam-Blockhan The ASC McLarens are super cool looking. That raked windshield and smaller cabin due to no back seat really helps them stand out.

@Sam-Blockhan you've seen more Lucid cars than me.

@Sam-Blockhan mmm......120Y!

That is not a '74! the dead giveaway is the part with the FORD on the front is too short, so it's a 75-78. The steering wheel would give it away as well if we could see that. Technically the '74 also never had a V8 option but that's because the FORD bit was too long. Hard to fit one as a swap, not like it mattered because it's still the 4th best selling Mustang of all time behind 65, 66 and 67. Going off the grille, it's a... http://mustangii.org/tech/grills/ hm... Only the standard 76 had amber lenses and clear bulbs, and the chrome trim on the black says it's a 76 Cobra grille but the Cobras had the clear lenses. Confused me!

@Sam-Blockhan Saturn plz.

@Sam-Blockhan My grandfather owns a 93' supra turbo. Its also unmodified. Factory wheels too!!supra 2.png

@ash78 Call me

@Sam-Blockhan save it

@Sam-Blockhan Dodge Intrepid plz

@Britishvillaininatl

Can't believe you missed it!!!

20230214_164411.jpg

I circled it in red so you don't miss it again. Obviously it was the flagship of the meet; at least in the videographer's eyes!

@Powered_By_Howard good find

@WhoIsTheLeader hilux plz

@john-norris I seem to be 1-of-1, and highly elusive. No one has spotted me yet, as far as I know 📸

@Sam-Blockhan I used to see a Cougar in the same purple colour street parked fairly often. It suits the car well.

@Sam-Blockhan Rigs of Rods, anyone?

@CarsOfFortLangley mmmmm yes

@Sam-Blockhan that Mercedes is one of my dream Mercedes and the colors are perfect

@Sam-Blockhan TIL they made Alero coupe. We got the sedan as Chevrolet in Europe. First ones still retained all the Olds badging so they weren't even rebadges per se. Later they got Chevy badges stuck on black plastic oval covering the area under the Olds logos.
For some reason I kinda of want a Prizm GSi. We never got the sedan Prism/Sprinter here but we did get the hatch badged as Corolla. No 4age in that iirc though.

@TheJWT Yup. The same length as Granvia / swb Euro Hiace but narrower I think.

@Roadkilled Thems fighting words, it's Cutlass time!

@Sam-Blockhan said in DITPL 4 January 2023:

I haven't seen a Chrysler Crossfire convertible in at least three years.

Really? Quite common for me.

@Sam-Blockhan

Casually finds Skyline 💀

@Sam-Blockhan my brother has an Equus that's slowly going downhill the way the Genesis it replaced did, because when shit breaks or gets damaged, he always refuses to fix it and before you know it, the car's a junker. Right now, the front bumper is all screwed up and has a broken fog light and some clips popped off, and the infotainment and nav system screens are stuck on their default startup screen and won't display anything else. He did at least do the coil spring conversion when the air suspension blew out

@Sam-Blockhan Awesome post! I'll take the 505.

@Roadkilled Ah a Bush bubble era faux Tudor, perfect.

Townhouses are excused of course 🙂

@Sam-Blockhan plymouth plz

the moon has been watching us this whole time?!?!

Pervert.

@Powered_By_Howard I like these things. And I've definitely seen more EV1s than these. Hopefully their community will look into lithium packs to keep these on the road.

@pyroholtz I had a 93 that was optioned that way. It had a 350 with the granny 5spd and 4x4. Amazing truck for $1400.

@Sam-Blockhan My final review for my semester long architecture project was yesterday. Not sure how I'm writing this either given how 2xhausted I am.

I don't know anyone who has a manual transmission car. I really want to learn though. I did once have a dream where I was driving a manual and in the dream is was good at it.

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken disappointingly, the Caldina is a transverse FWD so that's unlikely to fit 😞 a nice Black Top 3S-GE should fit perfectly, though 🙂

@Sam-Blockhan I especially love the Invicta wagon. Would love to see that back on the road.

Yes, as someone suggested above, the Invicta was the smaller B body but with a bigger engine than the LeSabre. Sort of a proto-Wildcat. Cool car!

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera She was getting groceries delivered to her, and she was driving an unfamiliar car, so I cut her some slack.

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera
Here's a RHD 1999 Suzuki Vitara 1.6 4U soft top.

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera fuel efficient cars have always been a tough sell, Hyundai sold only 3,700 Ioniq hybrids here for 2022, despite up to 60mpg, a sticker price of $24k, and everyone complaining the whole time about both high gas prices and new cars being too experience

@KITT222 There was another Holden logo on the steering wheel, but the windows were tinted, so other details were obscured.

@pip-bip Sorry, @HFV asked first.

@CarsOfFortLangley

🤔 yes that

@ForSweden 🤷‍♂️ Despite being Gen Z, I am unfamiliar with almost all our slang.

@Sam-Blockhan
Earlier this year I caught up with a family (grandfather, father, son) showing a Sonett V4 at a Cars & Coffee near me. I spoke extensively with the patriarch of the family, who had been one of 3 Saab Master Techs to ever exist in the state of Ohio. He'd worked on the car for years when it belonged to a friend of his, and when the friend passed on he willed it to the tech's son. The car drove into his garage and then sat for 18 years. They'd spent the week prior to the event changing fluids and dry-rotted hoses and getting the car running again. From what they said, the 14-year-old grandson was going to be learning to drive it.

Honestly the whole day will be an experience I remember forever....but can you imagine how awesome it would be to show up to school, in 2024, driving a v4 coupe with a column-mounted shifter?

You know why you got my upvote.

For the curious, that's a low-optioned LX. No cornering lamps, illuminated entry or power antenna. Probably the 111A (one up from standard equipment) package.

In my experience, that GM Saab is even rarer than the 9-5, production numbers be damned…

@Britishvillaininatl Parts, even used, are very hard to find for them. Some bits just don't exist anymore. One of the last jobs before I retired as an Infiniti tech was to manual swap one. Heaps of fun. 6 speed in a big sedan.

@UpCreekwithShitPaddle What about the Audi A6 Avant? Or just not your cup of tea?
