HoubaHouba!

Maymar is convinced M.C. Escher engineered his car

@biminitwst: Orange might just be too citrus-y for the big corporations. There aren't many factory options... Lambo, Elise, Mustang? Ex-utility company pickup?

@biminitwst: Can you even buy a new car factory painted orange? Hmm, Lambo, Mustang, Elise. Ex-utility company Ford pickup?

]]> <![CDATA[1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe]]> @biminitwst: You are so right. I want nothing more than to salvage that poor 240Z from the other day and splatter her datsun orange.

And I firmly believe that the world needs more orange cars.
Someday, just maybe, orange will be the new black.

]]> <![CDATA[1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe]]> I'm not sure this counts as a real DOTS car...

...but a bright-orange anything with a blown 502 is always worth the time to oggle.

]]> <![CDATA[1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe]]> Damn, what a fine machine. I agree with you, Murilee, that it's so much nicer seeing these on a street. Great find!

]]> <![CDATA[1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe]]> 900 HP? The car doesn't have any way of using all that power. I also doubt the owner will risk the potential dangers of taking his little beauty over highway speeds.

]]> <![CDATA[1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe]]> I guess the strips must be hip to the fact that a blown BB is probably gonna need a cage even to run once? In the olden days he could have just run it, gotten his 9 second time slip and been told to stay off their goddam track til he got a cage.

HoubaHouba!
