Such a cool car.  But man I’d be afraid to drive it any place that isn’t really really flat.

End qoute:

I'm guessing it has bags, to make it drivable.

I would imagine it’s riding on air bags so they lift it up a few inches while driving. Only drop when parked.

I just realized it’s probably on bags.

I am betting that car has bags.  No other way to get over a speed bump.

Hey John it’s on bagz!

Hey John, bags!!

It's a bit strange to have 3 of the same car, for me anyway. 

My college roommate and one of my best friends since 1st grade had at one point five Mercury Cougars, all immaculately restored.  Think he only has two now.  
 

 

I got a 1969 Xr-7 convertible for my first car. I still have it but it’s been at my sisters garage for the last 15ish years.  You make me want to go to Nebraska and give it the good once over with so hopes and prayers of bringing it back to cruise in the desert.  

Mine looks pretty much identical to this but with 30+ year old paint

You’re letting a convertible cougar rot, good way to piss off the car gods. Nice pic though. My dad had one always loved the lines.

Weather is nice so all the cars in the SW are coming out.  I was too slow for a McLaren 720s in powder blue, but I managed to capture this beast.

Actually my brother in law is an auto body guy and they are going to start doing some work on it now that they finished putting up a shop on their property. It is weird how life gets in the way and things like cars just go to the wayside.

Another gem.  This one was at the feed store.

For sale locally, 1987 Chevrolet Grunt

Chevy dealer service/ body dept probably loves to see that come in!   Calling parts dept.....

I knew Tesla was working on a semi, but this is the first photo I've seen of it.  If the meme is accurate (no guarantee) the specs are pretty impressive, too.

I haven't seen any images of that particular semi but there was some spy shots posted last year with the Tesla semi.

30 minute portable charger, maths don't work, unless it plugs into every circuit within a 10 block radius.

Agreed, that part didn't make any sense.  
I do have one of those VHS-sized batteries in both of my vehicles, can recharge your phone and jump-start your vehicle (once); a co-worker even fired up her dead F-350 up at the lake with one of those things; cool!

I was not looking at a Tesla a few months ago when we started shopping for my wife’s new whip but ended up with a Model Y Performance. At first the lack of knobs, bells, whistles, German over engineering, etc. caught me off guard but I really like driving it. Going 0-60 in 3.5 seconds ain’t too shabby either. 

Still driving my 4Runner and no plans on changing that for a long time but when I’m ready I’m sure I’ll be in an EV for my next truck/suv. 

My family builds and remodels gas stations (I’m not in that business) and EV charging is a hot topic. For some it’s taboo, others are embracing it to get people to spend money inside of their stores while waiting for charging. 7-11 stations are one of those. Wouldn’t mind buying some desert land between here and Vegas to put in an EV truck stop, could be a good venture.

Loved how they just parked it in our driveway for delivery:

Your family needs to familiarize themselves with the now-defunct "Stuckey's" franchise; there may be a gold mine there.  
EDIT:  And any property within NV could make multiples of that gold mine!

What a cool time capsule. Could you imagine owning a car of that value but never getting to truly enjoy it? The real value is it being number matching and low miles. Knowing each mile you put on it could hurt the overall value and the original low mile mark. I suppose you can just call it art and look at it. The temptation though.....

Cars are meant to be driven. I'd drive the crap outta that thing. If I ever get to a point in life to afford something like that it won't be a trailer queen. I'll drive it constantly. Never understood having a car and not driving it. No matter the rarity. If I can afford a $359k car I don't give a crap about resale value.

I guess it could be viewed like a virgin trophy wife.  But I digress and any further could challenge this thread.
Happy Friday!

The guy took off like a bat out of hell from the light.  Made me smile.

I'd like to be able to afford the grill in that '37, let alone the whole car.  Sweet coupe!

Saw this at a supplier's workshop today.

Nice!  Long way from home.  We should try to repatriate it.

You think they'd be willing to trade it in return for Prince Harry?
