As I have mentioned before, these are everywhere in the suburbs of Beijing and very popular with the expat teachers who can’t get or don’t want a car. Most of the staff only lives a 2-5km away from school so it makes sense for them to have something like this to keep them out of the elements not to mention that most…

A family friend was an engineer on this (and the Viper). He was born in the late 40's so the esthetic was there in the design and most of the people lived that time. The engineering was also good, but it was a balance of cost and function that really harmed it.

This is an interesting question made seriously made me stop and think.

I grew up just about 15 miles away from MIS. When I go back, I still see plenty of confederate flags around (some one has been selling them from their front yard on the side of highway 12 for years now). There was a confederate painted mailbox not far from us too. It’s people like that why I moved far away.

I have a Kyosho 1970 Dodge Charger that I absolutely love. The battery lasts forever, it handles amazingly well and it looks great. My problem is that I am afraid to damage the body, I already have a few nicks and scratches on it so it has been looking pretty on a shelf for the past year. Also it is pretty fast so…

Detroit does make some very tasty cherry pop. I think GM should name their cars after Towne Club flavors. http://www.towneclub.com/products/ The colors would look great on muscle cars. 

Mine is a legit for China legal import Camaro. The original owner bought at at the Chevy dealer like any other car. Some of the unique parts such as the original rear amber turn signals were stamped “For China” or something like that. While the European market has some unique features like the mirrors, the only other d…

Oh, I just thought of another. So for a gig we drove my drummer’s XJ Cherokee to the bar and parked it not far away in a small dead end alley. He had a few drinks so being the leader of the band (and straightedge) I was the designated driver to get us home. Unfortunately, after the show, there was a cab parked in the…

Looks like nibbles turned my picture over. When my car is not blocked in, the staff parking gets flooded a few times a year.

I forgot to add another time I went to a friends apartment for a get together. I always dread going to that apartment complex. There is only about 20 parking spots for a the entire place which probably contains more families than my hometown does.

I have quite a few after living in a huge metropolis in Asia for most of my life. One of the more interesting parking stories is when I tried to fit my Camaro down a hutong in the center of Beijing. It was there where I discovered that Camaro mirrors don’t fold in. I had only had the car for a few days at that point…

There are lots of V2 powered motorcycles. I think Morgan uses a v2 in their 3 wheeled car. Not so sure about 4 wheel V2 cars though. 

I have been in self quarantine since the end of January with my girlfriend and our cats. This is a very welcome distraction. Here goes:

I am surprisingly turned on by the fact that this car exists. I have a Z4 and my other car is a Camaro. I could never imagine putting the two together, but I think in some way it makes the Z3 (which i never liked the look of) and the Hornet, which probably never drove, cornered or stopped well better in so many ways.…

I used to live in Hong Kong and seeing these pictures makes me want to go back! My high school reunion was scheduled in Hong Kong next month but because of the virus it has been cancelled... What a world we live in now. 

As a fellow taillight enthusiast I have noticed that the rear lights of a model of car differ from country to country. For example, my Camaro which was exported has a red fog light were there would be a reverse light in the US spec model and two outer lights are amber rather than the 4 red lights in the states. I am…

I always appreciate a good design so there are so many cars I could just look at and take in the flow of the lines and how it all comes together. I also like be boxy almost brutalist design of the 80-90’s so the Delorian is high on my list but I think that a 59 Cadillac would be the car to keep as a conversation piece…

Also pollution is kind of like the baton being passed in a relay race. Industry is dirty, I remember reading how England had a problem with soot from factories and what not in the 1800’s then it was the US’s turn in the 1900’s. My dad grew up on Lake Erie and when I was young he wouldn’t let me swim in the lake…

I think you will love the new car. I live in Beijing and a lot of my coworkers drive these to commute to work, go shopping and regular car stuff. Some have enough room for their whole families. The school where I work at even has a special garage with paid charging ports for those with these vehicles. Meanwhile I have…

That sounds like a great memory! We didn’t have a sunroof but I remember we had a small Tv that plugged into the cigarette lighter. I wanted to watch XFiles as we drove down to Florida and had to keep looking for new stations as we drove. The screen would flicker with the engines revs... fun times in the 90’s.
