I’m 47 I’m here. Not as often as places like Hooniverse, but I’m here. My toy car is a ‘60 T’bird, but my daily driver is an ‘05 Mazda3 S hatch. I love the S2000 and would love to see yours. I drool over the new cars at my local C&C and the old. A 19 year old showed up with a mint ‘84 CRX Si with only 15K on it and I…

I had an 88 Pulsar SE and I agree with everything he said. It was a lot of fun, fairly quick and a good handler. Remember, this came from the same Nissan era that gave us the SE-R and the 4DSC Maximas.

I've done this twice in the last 3 years.

My first car was a very rusty and very lime green 1976 Camaro with the straight 6 and an automatic. I spent a year doing amateur body work (about a gallon of bondo) and sold it for a modest profit. My second car was an 80 Monza and while shopping Spuds junkyard in Toledo for the Monza, I found my old Camaro. I've got…

I don't understand the hatred for this. Sure there are some awful examples (Chrysler 200) and the ideal would be not to have them, but design and engineering requirements don't always mesh ideally and properly executed it's a good compromise.

I posted a pic of one from our Makerbot Replicator 2X. Came out pretty nice, the detail in the data means you could probably print at 2X scale pretty well.

We downloaded the NSX and printed one at work last week. Tiny (less than 3") but very cool. Lots of detail, probably could print 2x or bigger.

I own a 1960 convertible and have a soft spot for all the 60s 4 seat T'birds. The 61-63 I think had the best exterior, these had the best interiors.

I owned an '88 NX, but mine was the high zoot twin cam SE model, not the XE like this one. Alas, mine wasn't a Sportbak, it was a regular hatch. I did, however, remove the hatch on one occasion for that quasi convertible feel. Yeah, not so much different than simply taking the t-tops off and a fair bit of work.

There were four 6.9s in that lot, in similar states of decay. The black one in this shot, a gray and I think white. There was a 450 SEL as well and a rare '61 Imperial LeBaron. All sitting in the open just outside downtown Columbus. They're all gone now. The Imperial showed up for sale but I don't know about the…

Sorry about all the crappy Twitpic embeds. Between their unwillingness to link and Jalopnik's crappy comment interface, not much choice.

Is beige still bad when it's on an all original 1978 Newport? I think not.

Rust is brown, right? This one was a '37 LaSalle firewall, 50's dirt track racer, Ford frame, SBC.

Another from Columbus Cars and Coffee last year. '69 DS:

280 SE from the same lot, same day:

OK, what the heck is the deal with Flickr photos? Here ya go:

Mercedes 6.9 that once was quietly disintegrating back to dust near downtown Columbus.

Flickr fail. Let's try this:

Saw this are Cars and Coffee in Columbus in 2011.
