Nice! First pic my favorite. What can I say, I'm an guy.

I chose that one because it shows how bright the pearl in that silver would get in the sun. That's a fall pic. In the summer the reflection would hurt your eyes.

My favorite color. My truck is silver ice metallic.
Love the reverse lights in the tail gate

We had one old spare early in my PC career that made the rounds. The thing handle like crap, had what I thought was a steering column that seemed to move back and forth, and would leak like a sieve at the slightest amount of rain. I was driving in one afternoon and could swear I saw flashes of sunshine periodically in the cab. I took it to the mechanics and described all the stuff. The next day I find out they had redtagged it for scrap because the roof and body were separating from the cab ( the source of the light flashes) and the steering column movement was because a majority of the bolts holding the body to the chassis were rusted out and it was shifting around.

Which of us had that old POS first?

I drove one down the highway and watched the roof above the windshield lift about 6 inches. At least it was a hot and dry day.

That car was originally Mulsanne Blue, as was seemingly every other Elky and Chevelle. So we picked a Subaru metallic silver. That was a great color. I'd do another car in it any day.

From my understanding the one I drove went to the crusher.

I had a 68 Charger back in the late 70's. Bright red with a black vinal top. Counting the new VW Passat we bought in 2000 it was the 2nd worst POS car I ever owned.

Had hundai silver hanging around my friends garage. Add 20 worth of metal flake & voila, my new tank.

Last thing I saw with that much sparkle was sliding around a pole.

Just don't get any of that sparkle on your pole, or you may wake up without one.

One of my old favorites I've seen painted over in boneyards is "Plum Crazy". Too bad it oxidized so badly. Modern clearcoats handle it.

One of my unknown neighbors is in the process of remaking his 70 SS Elky after it got assrammed with a 69. The tailgate and right front got smashed. Right qtr and rear pillar were buckled. Tragic.

I've had more than one lessthanskilled driver turn one of my otherwise ok Jimmys into a convertible.

I bought a new Passat in 2000 also--I had a love/hate relationship with it. I loved it when it was not back at the dealer being fixed, which was about half the time I owned it. As it turns out, my wife later worked with a women whose husband was a mechanic at the dealership (Nissan/VW). He said the VWs were the moneymaker for the service dept-At any given time, they took up 90% of the bays.

We had a couple of people make instant convertibles by trying to drive under a low bridge.

What do you get when you cross a '57 Chevy with a Harley?

Most car and bike crossings don't come off very well, to say the least. I had one happen right before my eyes in Mesa, AZ.
