Car-spotting thread

[Captain Brainstorm]

Still get ragdolled.

Saw lots of crashes, very little rag dolling, usually hit the tarmac and slide. Only wild card was high-side crashes and where/how you landed. Bikes on the other hand were a different story. Low side crashes were a toss-up. Sometimes the bike slid to a stop with only fairing/peg/bar damage, or it hit something in the terrain and started to cartwheel = total loss, plastic and parts flying everywhere.

Descending NY73 from Lake Placid to Keene at 47mph on 25c tires and rim brakes was scary enough.

Same here. I break 40 mph occassionally and I'm skeered. In my car, I think the fastest I did was 135

The only thing thar scares me in that car is cops when I'm doing red light challenges and other "illegal" activities

I was full tucked and 47 was the max, I was trying and couldn't go any faster.

I hit 55 somewhere near watchung like a decade ago.

On the way home from work Thursday.

I don’t like white (sorry @Carson ) but I like the Targa top.

Then that evening my youngest sons good friends dad owns a Fire dealership after years working for others. Guess he decided to buy himself a new toy.

2019 Carrera 4S with only 22K miles. I’m not sure if it has any mods but man the turbo sound off this thing is sweet. Made my whole house rumble when he pulled up and I could hear him driving away for at least a mile. My son was thrilled to go for a ride even if he had to stuff himself in the back. Paul (the dad) promised me a ride soon.

M5 at Home Depot today.

Used Google Lens and the closest thing that I could find is this, which...maybe?

XR-311 HMMWV Prototypes - Tank Encyclopedia

FMC's XR-311 was yet another design submitted for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) project in the late 1960s.

Might be specifically this one since the description mentions a customer in NJ.
