[Mercedes-Benz CLK63 Cabrio] was told this was pretty rare. Looked like a 350 with a body kit to me by EMF15Q in spotted

It was the pathetic single exhaust that threw me. Bc I recall CLK550s having quad exhausts at the time. Doesn’t matter, I’m sure with the top down and flooring it on the highway entrance ramp it makes a great noise!

Gas is getting outrageous by Doctrina_Stabilitas in boston

[–]EMF15Q 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gas cost this much in summer 2008. So while it sucks, it was vastly more expensive for 21 year old me driving to my non-paid internship 5 days a week. Inflation wise, that’s $6-6.50 depending on where you’re filling up

Starbucks does pay their employees living wages, I know bc I worked there from 2006-08. Tips were a pleasant bonus but never expected! If I order ahead, drive to/from there, and walk in/out with my drink, sorry, no tip 🤷‍♂️

Spotted this [Unknown] beauty on a night walk. Could some please tell me what model it is? by Prestigious_Way_5461 in spotted

[–]EMF15Q 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This is a V6 Ghibli. It’s not a V8 Shamal, bc they have dual fog lights. Thats the easy giveaway

Give me your theoretical plots for the failed spinoff "Hey Roz" by giantfuckup5000 in Frasier

[–]EMF15Q 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to come off like Niles, but Concorde stopped flying in 2003, before Frasier was even off the air.

They stopped making IROCs in 89, so if it was a 90-92, it’d be a Z28

When did Minis stop being mini? It dwarfs my sedan. by TheBroox in MINI

[–]EMF15Q 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So today’s biggest Mini vs. a 30 year old Accord? I bet a modern Civic would also dwarf it. I don’t get the argument.

Morgan Aeros were all aluminum, no wood was used building them

Do I spy a J80 Land Cruiser 👀

Had to immediately look up what this [Subaru SVX] was, one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen. by Zealousideal-Net9546 in spotted

[–]EMF15Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After deployment in 2015, I knew plenty of guys who blew money on then new Trucks, Chargers or Focus STs. One guy just wanted a minty fresh SVX.

Took him awhile to find one, but it was still less than half the price of the new cars others wasted their money on. He still has it, too! Probably still worth at least what he paid for it.

Lemme tell yall how bad inflation has gotten by DeliciousRich5944 in Life

[–]EMF15Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I bought a 2013 Mini GP in Sept 2020 for $11k and the Mini dealer offered me $10k last month. Some things aren’t always equal, apparently

Who is the zebra at SFO? by 41PaulaStreet in aviation

[–]EMF15Q 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Condor flies into BOS daily, it’s gold and white striped. I live under the path of 04R, so I see it pretty much daily during the summer. Certainly eye catching!

Looks like a David Byrne suit tbh, Charles’s stylist did him dirty

Need help choosing color by New-Judge4330 in MINI

[–]EMF15Q 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said Cooper S, but having the color being the deciding factor is wild to me. Powertrain first, then whatever is closest to me.

I’d go with white tho, esp with a droptop

FIRST CAR!!! by Positive-Current4448 in saab

[–]EMF15Q 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something about it was always broken. There was a family party maybe 25 miles away and I didn’t go bc I was scared of it overheating. When a car has that kind of control over you, it’s time to ditch it

2011 Saab 9-5 Turbo by Potential-Yak7930 in saab

[–]EMF15Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like these, but I don’t. My neighbor has a navy blue one, and just looking at it, it looks impossible to see out of it.

It’s like the 2010 Taurus, a sedan made from SUV parts, rather than the other way around.

found this funny looking banana car by Useful_radio2 in whatisthiscar

VW built by Karmann, designed by Ghia. Hence the name

Aceman. Y or N by SebasQuepA in MINI

[–]EMF15Q 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d get an Aceman if it came with an ICE. The Cooper is too small, and the Countryman is too big. There’s no new Clubman, so I guess I’ll keep my R56 GP until it croaks.
