If anything, it still looks villainous, as a Jag should. Looks particularly good in black imo. And I actually live the slotted tail end. Not super crazy about the interior.

Iirc his Bren Ten was actually rechambered for 45 because the 10mm blanks had dogshit reliability. I'm not certain but thay may have been during pre production tho as opposed to something they found mid season filming.

Aaaand wow it looks more like the concept than I would have expected. But if i had a favorite part of the concept it would have been the rear end with the slot lines. And holy shit they kept it Although maybe this was designed in 2021 actually?? [ #jaguar #type01 #cars #carsky ]

Aight, so I showed you the old Challenger. So, uh, here's the newer Challenger. What do they have in common? V8s and discontinuation. [ #mopar #cars #carsky #musclecar #photography #dodge #challenger #carshow ]

A modern Challenger R/T at the 2022 Thirsty Duck Car Show in Sussex, WI. Side by side, it's just a fatter version of the old Challenger. Incredibly, i think the wheelbase might be shorter, but I haven't looked at any numbers.

I almost only ever see older people driving these. My guess is they're the people who bought them new. Though they're so rare it's hard to say. Also I've seen so few I kind of can't believe what people ask for these.

Thinking back to this post and the recent surge in gas prices have convinced me this probably ain't feasible anymore (plus my Jag buyer ghosted anyway). Probably do a hatch (or a hot hatch) and I can still get a kayak rack on top.

Always had a little soft spot for the goofy looking Chevy SSR. But I kind of love goofy cars in general. I mean, bubbly drop top pickup bed V8, basically an El Camino revival with a convertible top. [ #chevy #ssr #classiccars #photography #cars #carsky ]

The wonderfully bizarre Chevy SSR at the 2026 King of Car Shows. It was like they tried to revive the El Camino, and this was around the same time as the cancelled Bel-Air revival. Maybe they should have called this El Camino and it would have done better?

Such a cool car! Always wanted some variant of a Manta, or rather just want to drive one.

Well it was its own engine, but yah. The recent remaster was kinda glitched tho. I think it's that I played DF1 and 2 before I ever got around to Doom, but Doom was like a lightning bolt.

I Drive a Miata @idriveamiata.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Hard to say, to some extent it was Dark Forces or Dark Forces II, and maybe to a much greater extent it was just Doom. I don't really call myself a gamer, though. There were a handful of formative games for me. I'd be remiss to not mention Zoo Tycoon and Operation Genesis. All very influential to me

I try not to repost too much policrap here but like goddamn this Tommy Tuberville guy is such a fucking maroon. Also old douchebag ranting about Furry airline pilots while standing next to the pregnant man emoji is some kind of surrealism I don't have a name for. What a dumb motherfucker lmao

Ayy, a Neon that isn't losing body panels to rust. But it does appear to be, errr, losing them in other ways. [ #dodge #neon #ricer #cars #carsky #tuner #photography ]

A riced Dodge Neon at the 2026 AutoLab car show. Dig the bronze wheels. The number on the window could signify it's actually used in some kind of track setting. Or could just be for looks. Never saw the owner, never asked him. But who am i to judge regardless?

Only maybe a month or so of good weather left. Once the salt and snow flies it's back to the garage again. If I could get it closer to home I'd love to supercharge it over the winter. [ #miata #mx5 ]

The ELR was maybe never s good car from what I've heard, but it always looked awesome imo. Cadillac's whole design language change around 2005 might be one of the best major design turnabouts, imo again. I know some people didn't care for all the edges.

Not that Triumphs or Guzzis are the lightest lol, but lighter than a Harley. Just wanna second small runabout, something old school preferrable. Probably gonna trade my Alfa Romeo for something, or try to.

I Drive a Miata @idriveamiata.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

My first bike was a Guzzi that I traded for a Fat Bob (the graffiti bike in the pics). The Bob does everything the Guzzi didn't, like better cargo and better highway speed. But the extra weight and size makes it a little annoying for quick bouts. So for a 2nd I'm thinkin light to go into town with

Two Triumphs at the last Harley Museum bike night I went too. I'd love to get a smaller, more classic style bike again (as a 2nd), and although I'd prefer to go back to MG, the Triumph is also attractive. [ #motorcycle #bikenight #motosky #triumph #harley #motorbike #biker #photo ]

The Ford Ranchero (GT model), Ford's answer to the El Camino. Didn't live quite as long, however. RIP to the American ute. [ #ute #ford #ranchero #classiccars #carshow #carsky #cars #photography #carmeet ]

A Ford Ranchero GT at the final 2026 Kim's Pizza car meet. A very, very clean looking example of a '70s Ranchero. I was always sort of amused that, save for the later Dodge Rampage, the American utes had these rather Mexicanish names. With that said, I think ute models from American makes survived for a longer time (past the 1980s) in some Central and South American markets. This isn't counting the Australian utes, of course.

Here's something I only just found out exists, a WS6-suspensioned Trans Am with the Turbo-6 from the GNX! Factory! And only available in this limited Pace Car edition. (See Alt Text) [ #pontiac #transam #firebird #classiccars #racing #pacecar #musclecar #photography #carshow #carsky #cars ]

A 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Indy Pace Car, or "Turbo Trans Am," at a 2026 Car Meet at Kim's Pizza in Wisconsin. This was supposed to be the final night of Kim's recurring car event for the year, featuring a food truck and a brewery, but bad weather post-poned it. Cars still showed up, and then virtually no one one showed up to the make-up day. Really sad.

As for this car, this is a more rare version of the Turbo Trans Am because of cloth seats (most were optioned with leather), and the fact this very car was featured in the Indy 500's driver's parade, making this not just a replica, but a legit pace car (sort of, it wasn't used as a pace car in the race, just for the pre-race parade. But that's still pretty official).

Lil' Yellow MGB. Roadster superiority. And although I'm sure it's a bit far removed from the dialed in feeling of the Miata, I'd love to experience one of these. I feel like it'd be a little tighter than my Alfa. [ #classiccars #mgb #cars #carsky #roadster #photography ]
