I had a couple minutes to look through an apartment building parking garage... and was surprised to find a Viper, a Chevelle Malibu, and this sad Camaro. Poor thing needs some love

it's so odd to see a Viper in a parking garage... it shouldn't be, they are only worth about 40 k... 10 to 20k less than most new vehicles. Maybe there just weren't that many ever made, maybe that's why I rarely see them

spotted in the back of a delivery semi... dropping off or picking up from a detailer

 

unmarked cop car... they come with window stickers now?

I didn't know that George Clooney and a couple other guys I've never heard of kicked off a start up tequila company, and quickly sold it?

I don't think I've ever been aware that George Clooney was a motorcycle rider... looks like a classic BMW

radar hater? radiator hater?

 

so... they bought a stainless bare metal vehicle, and then, realized they needed some color on it. Why they chose this one? No idea

 

fun helmets!

 

this Shelby Mustang was SMASHED the hell up

 

did you hear about the herd of cows on the 15? Utah cows busted out a fence around 530am... and did a LOT of damage to a couple cars

300" straight 6, fed by only 3 Holley Dominators, and no turbo or supercharger, powers an altered in Comp Eliminator, is based on an OEM block out of a 1987 Ford truck.

A custom cylinder head from Alan Johnson Performance Engineering rests on top of the engine and has been matched to a custom intake manifold with three split Holley Dominator carburetors. Inside the engine you’ll find a Crower crankshaft, GRP connecting rods, and Wiseco pistons.
