Indeed... and when I did 'unsharp mask' in Pshop it only added to that... but still it looks both fake and like the lighting doesn't belong. It's so weird!
What you mean to say is 'those wheels make the GT look actually good'
THIS BRILLIANT POST was my 20,000th. Looking back I notice that my brilliance has but decreased over the years. "Pshop"? Doug what even IS that??? Did you not end the last sentence with a period?? Did you misplace "actually" behind "look" when it should be before? Idiot.
Congratulations to GTP for putting up with me for 20,000 posts. Congratulations to McLaren for being a Texan, to daan for being humorless, to Famine for being purple, to MistaX for destroying two American cars, to YSSMAN for being awesome, to JCE for getting in a head-on crash and living, to Joey D for owning a Mini (btw I have only seen ONE other in his color), to Rue for consistently out-spotting me, to harrytuttle for posting here though he does it FAR TOO LITTLE, to Duke for dealing with a slow-ass TSX on a day-to-day basis, to UnoMOTO for being from Colorado, to that guy who owns the birds and always signs his posts AO, to Sage for being so ridiculously Sage, to his buddy Tim, to Keef for being hilarious and for those directions to TotD, and most importantly, to M5Power cuz WTF foolz.

It's because the V8 Vantage is such amazingly good fun to drive, the tree is busting out of it's bark to do so.
What did I see that was good today? I saw some drawings of the new wheels for next model year DBS and they are quite simply spankingly gorgeous. They are so pimptastically spoketacular that everyone needs to go out and rob banks so they can order a £160,000 car just for these wheels. You don't even need to see the picture (which I can't show you.) Just know that they're that good - you can actually telepathically sense how awesome they are because I was that impressed and my mind is osmoting wheel-worship brainwaves.

I found the Ascari factory this evening, so if I'm ever around the area again I'll look for cars around the area. Both my parents have seen a KZ1 and so have a couple of freinds. I need to go there more often. I'm surprised Venari hasn;t spotted one.

This came into work today for a speedo calibration.
Not exactly sure what kind of Alfa.
Then I saw this:
I don't know what it is, no badges other than "turbo"
It looked awesome though, and it was fast too.
EDIT: Need to resize those pics, brb.

And really you've only seen one sparkling silver Mini?
Isn't yours brown? Also I've only seen one other on your wheels. And trust me I look. To this day I have seen none other with your fog lights (although to be honest I would probably get them with the fogs - I think they're super cute - not as cute as me, perhaps, but certainly cuter than YSSMAN).

I wouldn't go that far. See the rest of the "top 20 posters" list? I'd bet I've made most of the preeeeeeeeeetty unhappy during my time here.

Well, I was never really interested in SUV's, and I'd never seen one before, and it had no badges.It's an Acura RDX, Alex. And you call yourself a Honda boy...
How could you not know of the RDX and its turbo K24? Put one in your Hatch!
I knew it looked familiar, but I wasn't sure so I snapped a pic.

These are really good, Exige. 👍
One-Picture special from Mexico, normally I put both front and rear views of a car, but these for some reason or another were shot only once:
believe it or not, Rampages are RARE here, never sold officially, first one I'd ever seen, and with that welded on carrying structure, it was prety funny:
1968 Barracuda in the hands of a ricer:
Yeah, I have money to lower my car and buy it Antera wheels but I can't fix stone chips on my front fasciae:
1959 (I think) Fargo/Dodge with added-up rear windows:
This was really cool, a very early 911 wich was being serviced, you dont see these too often here:
Very well preserver Fiat 1100!!! check out the vintage car license plates with the little Model T, I so love those:
clean MKII Golf with BBSs:
Very well preserved Renault 4 State, most of these are but clouds of rust now:
This was weird, a 1968 El Camino with a 80s Caprice front clip; the El Camnio was never sold here and was a cool car, but strangely, this Caprice model was never sold here either, so double spot (but of course, it was cool because of the El Camino, the Caprice front clip ruins it):
A poor, POOR 1968 Coronet that has been cut to death, BADLY made into a ragtop with a transplanted flip-up headlamp 1967 Coronet grille, ricer side skirts, steel wheels, mustang hood scoop, and every other bad thing you can think of. Poor car I say.
when I bought the Canon XTI I faced a grim reality: I wasnt used to shoot without Image Stabilizer (The Canon S2 is stabilized) and my pulse is baaad, so I climbed to my house's roof and shot cars to practice; I got some more, but this was the rarest, a BMW 7 series, its sooo ugly:
1968 mexican DodgeDart GTS, a car with characteristics that make it unique to Mexico (318 V8 4Speed), this one wears non-original colour paint and is in quite the good shape:
Jacked up Suburban that seemed to be a work in progress, looked quite mean:
RARE: A MERCURY MARAUDER! yeah, you guessed it, never sold here, the only one I've ever seen, taken from a bus:
Under that tarp is a 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon, it's gone now:
Mexican Volkswagen Pointer (Gol in Brasil and mid-america) dressed in garish rice:
Mexican 1975 Plymouth Valiant Super Bee; while Super Bees were an option in Coronets and Chargers in US, here in Mexico we had our Super Bees based in Valiants (think of them as Dart Sports) from 1970 to 1986, with 318 and 360 engines, these were the fastest things on the streets in their days and are now highly sought after, you distinguish them by some special features, in this case dual tailpipes (they were there) that denote V8 power and the hood tach (earlier, they had simulated hood scoops too):
cool raw CJ7:
ahem... Celebrity:
LOL:
Abandoned Renault 10, pretty rare here, the Renault 8 is way more common:
I'll post more one-pic write ups later.

It looks brown but MINI calls it sparkling silver. I don't see many with the rally lights either, in fact I can't think of a 07+ that I've seen with them....and I go to event where a bunch of people park there Cooper and talk about how great their fuel mileage is or something. And the cute quote made the night.
I'm like number 5 and you are probably my favourite poster on the forum.

Yeah. English, is, like, hard and stuff.

I definitely post too little. It's because I definitely don't get around here often enough. I don't want to fade away from this place, though. I need my daily dose of automotive information and a/v misinformation.
And everyone needs more Doug in their lives. For good or bad.
Here's to 20,000 more:

Noone ever mentions me... Even if it's just saying my name, I feel left out and alone.

A rare photoless post from harrytuttle!
I expect an F50 in the next one.
