Car pics too cool not to share


The first time I ever came across a '66 Caprice was in a guy's backyard. At that point, I didn't know they made them in '66. I thought someone had welded a '68 top on it, and done a damn good job. Not a very common car. I do prefer the fastback style of the Impala.

When Lexus first came out, they were copying Mercedes's grille and general styling. Then the went with their own thing - which is understandable - but that goofy grille shape never really grabbed me.
 
Damnit @Squatch, you're costing me money here. Sending me down BAT rabbit holes and whatnot. I don't need another tractor, but my lawn mower is showing its age and these old 8Ns are about that size. :sneaky:

Edit; you know what, I was looking at that all wrong. If I could find a V8 swapped Ford like that for $5-6k and a finish mower for $1k, I'd be saving money vs buying a Kubota zero turn around $10K. ;)

That's a Chevy-in-a-Ford I could learn to love. Throw some big mufflers on and a finishing mower... screw a zero turn.

It needs dual fat stacks with 'tommy-knockers' (exhaust pipe flappers) . . .
 

People are really going to have to improve their computer skills if they want to continue creating this crap. Let's start with the passenger-front wheel, shall we?

WTF, over? I'd like to meet the tech who could balance that! :rolleyes:

And what the hell's up with the tail lights? What are they supposed to be out of?

"Louvers" on the driver's side...

...but not on the passenger's side. And what's with the shape of the abbreviated fender and bumper?

All in all, a piss-poor AI-generated image. Love the color, though! ;)

You missed a few other issues... I'm not good on cut & paste with my phone.

Actually, I just got tired of listing 'em. Take a look at the driver's side A-pillar and associated glass and roofline. I don't even know how to describe what's wrong with that area. And there's more. So much more. :rolleyes:

I was going to use the excuse that I was sleep deprived but I posted the picture @ 4PM yesterday...
So no excuse, other than I didn't look at it that closely. I just liked the color combination so I'd posted it.

I've been properly reprimanded and will strive to not make the same mistake again...
