The cars and bikes thread!

Was greeted by this sexy beast when I got home tonight. The composition against the two black SUVs and the backlighting in the darkness made me pull out my phone and take a pic. It’s so nice to love your car.

Just wish I weren’t too drunk to drive right now (not that NYE in the city is remotely a good time to be on the road).

Known Flaws

• Exterior chips, scratches, dings, and paint imperfections
• Wear on the upholstery and interior touch points
• Cracks in some of the interior trim pieces; flaking finish on the shifter bezel's bright trim
• Driver-side dashboard end cap missing
• Stains on the carpet
• Delamination on the rear-view mirror
• Headliner missing
• Several warning lights are illuminated in the instrument cluster; the cruise control doesn't work.
• The seller reports a 30-second beep about five minutes after the engine starts (reportedly due to a missing "trunk closed" sensor).
• The seller notes "a small burning oil smell after driving the car once it has sat for some time" (reportedly due to a leaking valve cover gasket).
• The seller adds that "gas must be added slowly to avoid spillage."
• The seller states that the paintwork and the bodywork are "fairly rough," that the body is not watertight, and that there are "some squeaks and rattles." Please contact the seller directly for more details.

That certainly makes it worse. But even done well, it looks terrible.

I feel like their are two different types of car lovers who would be deeply offended by that car.
