At least the shop appears clean.

How about a Killer Whale

[RegulatorCountry]

Looks like a Tatra and a Delahaye mated, and their offspring got an Alfa nose job.

I actually sort of like the looks of it. Shouldn’t hold together stylistically, but it does.

Your the doctor, I am curious, how big is a whale penis?

[Windcatcher]

Not so big that Chet would confuse it with an ICBM (weak movie reference).

[MediaMole]

Just check out post 42. ...or don’t.

LOL

Thanks, checked it out, kinda small for a whale, seen bigger ones on elephants (on TV not in person). I decided thats why elephants get mad during rut, that thing bounced off the ground as he ran.....ouchy.. then I understood why female elephants don’t much care for the process either...

“All the styling of an ‘88 Isuzu Trooper”

Understandable being that the Trooper was originally marketed to the South American market as a utility vehicle.

Does it have a grin on its face?

Thanks potlatch -

There were some superb designs in the 30s

Some were lightyears ahead in streamlining than any of crude aircraft designs produced then

Years before the dreaded runaway grocery cart in the parking lots

Its one of those things in life, y'know if you have to ask...

It's the ultimate irony. In the US we have farmers’ fields barren and dry because of enviro wackos and their smelt obsession. PETA has championed everything from owls to baby seals. Here in the US we have had freedom for these wacko organizations to bleat incessantly. In Russia, where communism is STILL king, the elites drive autos with whale penis upholstery. Is that where the elites in the DemocRat Party are headed? Whale penis upholstery? Or....will their tastes run even more exotic (I shudder to contemplate).

Am I the only one that finds this hilariously funny? Along the lines of truth being stranger than fiction....

in this new bizarro world reality that we're living in.

[Daffynition]

Just thinking ... if one likes that “new-car-smell” ...I wonder just what this car smells like when delivered? ;)

I pinged you to post #23. Surely this is a ‘new’ car? I think the car shown is beautiful.

Yes -

It is what is called a Retro-Mod

A radically styled antique car restored and enhanced to the latest tech

Or a brand new car built with radical early style that is enhanced to the latest tech

OK, I'm not knowledgeable about cars like you. I know retro means nostalgic or old fashioned, but also means reviving the looks of the past.
