If it has an engine and you think it's cool...

With the right treatment the Z3 coupes are nice. The 2nd pic is much sexier than the 1st one.

I actually like the bare bodied one better. I just have a hate for body kits. At my friends shop, about 90% of the work they do is repairing them. Even the really well made, expensive kits seem to have trouble staying in place. Just a personal pet peave

As a teen I had the good fortune of working at Buick dealership when these were rolling off the line. When ever one came in off the truck, it seemed everyone had to take it for a "test drive". At the time this was the fastest domestic in the States. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, and a top speed of 124Mph. (with the limiter removed it could do 150Mph).

My neighbor has 2 of those. One for tweaking on, and one low mileage original that he just rubs with a diaper.

This Falcon belonged to Michael Schumaker just until very recently. He lives down the lake here in Switzerland and kept this machine at Geneva airport. The plane is destined to New Brunswick, Canada. Striking paint job.

Here's another nice air barge. It belongs to Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovitch. It's called The Bandit and it's a Boeing 767-300ER.

A lot of it is in the quality of application too. And how many potholes you have in town. Personally; in my town, I would never lower a daily driver,...or put on a bunch of fiberglass ground effects. The roads here are pretty rough.

I like Detroit Steel and I like convertibles, so:

Here's a couple shots of a 1940 CCKW, this particular one is owned by my band's lead singer, who restored it to this condition.

There's a guy in nearby Winterhaven Florida that restores military vehicles. It's always cool to stop by his shop and see what's parked outside.

The crazy thing about that 6x6 is how it smells, military vehicles just smell a certain way (canvas, lube oil etc.). I hadn't been around anything remotely military for about 20 years ( my father was military) so the first time I'm around this thing it's like wham! that smell........I climbed around on a lot tanks, jeeps, trucks etc. when I was a kid and the scent just brought all those memories back.

My dad was in the navy. The smell of the ships he was stationed on was pretty distinctive as well.

Pics of the three ships he was stationed on.

USS Peterson DD-969 (Destroyer)

South Carolina CGN-37 (Guided Missile Cruiser....Nuclear)

USS Nashville LPD-13 (Landing Platform Dock)

They all smelled the same.

As a youngster I thought they were cool. I remember each ship fondly and was able to sail on the Nashville from Moorehead City NC to Norfolk VA. A cool experience, there is nothing like being at sea at night.

Impressive- not necessarily cool, though.

I like the looks- NSU 2,000cc single. NOT the largest thumper in the world, though...
