The 2007 Camaro is looking pretty sweet.

Copying Ford with the retro-look that succeeded with the Mustang, but hey, it works for me:

http://www.arkansascamaro.com/2007Camaro2.jpgThat's not the actual factory prototype. Looks like an artist's rendition to me.

Oh, and it won't be on the streets till 2009 or 2010.

Always happy when I see one of these on the road. This was my first sports car. Straight six engine. Mmmmmmm.

The first car I bought was a 79 280ZX... loved that car... Black with the gold in the hubs too just like the photo... Once Z is in your blood you never can quite get it out.

Thought this would be a decent spot for this. I know they are Hot Wheels cars, but dammit, I love looking at them.

These are merely my favorites. I have tons a couple dozen more...

From left to right:

Dodge Viper
Maserati MC12
Black Lamborghini Contach
Ferrari 599 CTB
Ford GT90
Silver Saleen S7

The purple one I'm pretty confident is a Pontiac concept car that I have forgotten the name of.

Indeed I do, oh post count leader. Have a couple shelves full of them; right in front of Powermaster Optimus Prime, which is covered in heroclix and the head of Annihilus. I have a few pictures of it if people really want to see.

I doubt I have the second one anymore, but I did have one just a few years ago. A lot of mine got thrown out I guess.

I tend to stick to Vipers, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Corvette and various others that catch my eye. However, the latter group must be awesome or some kind of car that I lack. I have mostly everything.

Only recently have I been able to find a hummer, one of the couple kinds of cars I was missing. Finally got an H2. It's huge compared to the rest of my cars. I am still looking for a limo. I don't think I'll ever find one. I'm also on the hunt for a new Lamborghini Diablo. My lone remaining blue one is damaged.

Morna and I know a 60 year old woman who just sold her business and is thinking about buying one of these. It's a Russian motorcycle called Ural and they specialise in side-cars.

I've seen several of these mini delivery vehicles around town recently. It was made by Nissan for the Japanese market back in 1990. It has the clever name S-Cargo. Get it?

Morna and I went to visit her best friend while we were in the Toronto area a couple of weeks ago. She owns this beautiful '66 Mustang which she bought while working in Burbank. When Morna and her were teenagers Morna's mom drove one just like it and she wanted one ever since. When they moved back to Canada she loaded her husband and two kids into the car and drove route 66.

I saw this car this morning. It's called a Buick Eight and (I think) it's a 30's model. I think the 8 refers to how many passengers it takes.

While I was down visiting my mom (what a beautiful weekend), my nephew dropped by with his new ride. Well, actually, he's not my nephew, he's a first cousin twice removed, but he's always called me "uncle." I digress. He has a 2006 Yamaha Roadliner.

My. God.

WHAT a beautiful bike. 1800 ccs of Retro Deco perfection:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/Aliaswit/Roadliner1.jpg

THIS is the white finish. His is the midnight black. I put the white finish up because the photos delineate the chrome a bit better.

It looks like it's floating as it rolls down the road.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/Aliaswit/roadliner2.jpg

There is so much going on with this bike that you can't stop looking at it. The tank and speedo are perfect examples.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/Aliaswit/roadliner3.jpg

I don't actually like this vehicle. But I had to take a picture of it because it costs $300,000 - 500,000. It's a current generation Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Morna and I saw it when we went for lunch today. I love the fact that it is parked in two small car spots. Our waitress told us that the paid driver opened the door for the two guys in the back.

yes.

69, with those beautiful suicide doors.That's a 64 or earlier. 69s look quite a bit different.

And of course, cut the top off and you've got the Kennedy Deathmobile...

[Eric D.]

man... I dunno. I really really like this model, and although I haven't seen one in plain sight for years, I was really really sure this was a 69.

http://www.cargurus.com/images/2009/04/07/15/27/pic-57846.jpeg

Yeah, that second one is a 69. Notice the difference in the front bumper and fender.

[Eric D.]

Yeah, that second one is a 69. Notice the difference in the front bumper and fender.


yeah, I do see the distinction now that you mention it. The bumper on the 69 goes further underneath a bit until it meets the wheel well.
and the fender on the 64 appears to have more of a concave bevel to it

[dupont2005]

I like 80's mid-engined sportscars. The Lambo Countach and Ferrari Testarossa are the two most popular but they all had that stealth bomber geometrical look and overdone spoilers and styling at that time.
