Yay! Christmas present/early high school graduation present! And, it's a good mini me match with her parents car, without the "get into trouble" power and unaffordable insurance for a teen

seems nuts, even to me, but this isn't the first dragster Opel I've come across

the other one was way back in 2008, but there's not much point in looking at it, it's under a car cover https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-found-these-remarkable-cars-just.html

unlike the disappointing turn out at El Cajon and La Mesa, Escondido's weekly Friday night cruise was at it's usual full turn out strength

There was quite a few cool cars seen on today's walkabout, several under car covers

been in the driveway undercover since 2011. Looks like a late 70s Camaro

This wasn't effective at hiding that it's a jeep. 

well, that looks like a Jeep to me

here's what it looks like on Street View history, it's been there since before 2007

looks like a shoebox Ford to me, but street view shows it's been in a tent (see the frame work around it?) since before 2007

interesting art piece by the front door

parked in the front yard probably a decade or 2 ago, and never left

using the Cadillac's natural eye magnet appeal to advertise his real estate business

and google street view shos this Opel GT and VW ... next door to an Airstream, but neither of them were out when I walked past

flywheel exits stage left

where did all the race cars go?

Opel, the first German car maker to produce 2 million vehicles, chose to celebrate by making a Kapitan in 1956 with gold plated brightwork instead of chrome accents

they did it with only 100 grams of gold.
