Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I loved seeing an in depth review. There's one in my neighborhood that's daily driven. 030
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I rarely saw my actual uncles, but my dad's best friend that we called uncle drove a dark grey 3rd gen Camaro. Very appropriate for South Florida in the late 80s. Definitely had a handgun in the center console. 1101
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I took a picture from the other side to capture the sunrise and realized it shows the non-directional wheels. The opposite end of the GM spectrum from the C4 Corvette's sawblades. 130
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I had a busy day at work, so I forgot I even took this picture until I was just walking my dog by the same spot. This Beretta stopped me in my tracks while riding my bike to work. I couldn't ride by without capturing it for posterity. I can't remember the last time I saw one in the wild. 1333
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I always enjoy seeing the East Bay Regional Park District Mach E 250
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I bought a GR Corolla! My dad and I drove down to Santa Barbara to pick it up and over the course of 3 days we drove 900 miles. We made memories that we will never forget and we saw sights we had never seen before. Have a seat and I'll tell you the tale. 7565
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The vibes are almost always impeccable here, but they're especially nice when I find a W114 coupe parked up. Such a clean example. 0145
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 10/04/2026A wild Sprint has appeared! I'm not sure if my neighbor has acquired an additional Turbo Sprint or has swapped the white one for the red one. I've consistently seen the white one over the last 6 months and just noticed the red rallycross-prepped car this morning. Quite a rare sight. 1202
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I'm so glad I owned mine for a few years. Ultimately, a 25 year old German convertible wasn't a perfect daily driver for me, but I absolutely loved that car. And the 200hp 2.5 with the 5-speed is my favorite. I didn't like my dad's 3.2 6-speed as much. 071
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Perhaps I'm channelling my white trash ancestors, but I've started fantasizing about spending a cash settlement before I actually have it. What's the consensus on the GR Corolla and its 26.3 pounds of boost 3 years on? 2131
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 05/12/2025I don't believe in anything...karma, luck, God...but I have chills. I took a picture of an Outlander Ralliart and then turned the corner, not 200 feet away was a Montero on Golden State plates. 0150
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Interestingly, there is a post-Geo Chevrolet Tracker behind the E24. I saw it drive by moments later, but I didn't realize the Geo connection until just now. 092
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 10/10/2025A beautiful end to an evening walk. Turbo Sprint (PrEO Metro) and a 635CSi. 5244
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 02/08/2025We are so back... I'm excited to live by myself for the first time in 15 years 😊 3220
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I blame my coworker for getting me addicted to scented candles. But at least they were on clearance! 😅 270
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Eww, just as gross as those old G-Body 959 kits 130
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Sad girls 🤝 Sad boys I swear Karma is not my Kink, I just really love the song (and video). 020
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Definitely the Gravel Express. It's the turbo Crosstrek that Subaru still won't give us. 020
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Soooo cool that there was an SR20DET powered hot Nissan Stanza in Japan! The Bubble Era never ceases to amaze me. 🤩 030
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 22/11/2024986 Boxster is the perfect car. Mid engine balance, convertible, just enough power. 030
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024XK120. I always love seeing an old guy pull up to a meet with his flat cap and his arm hanging over the door. 040
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 18/11/2024My Ranger keeps on ticking, despite my neglect. But the truck I really wish I'd kept forever was the 1997 Nissan Hardbody that my mom bought new. I learned to drive stick on it and she gave it to me in 2016. I think I sold it in 2018 or so because I wasn't using it, still regret that. 140
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Weird Car BS, who was Phillipe Cousteaux and why did Suzuki Germany have a trademark on his name and sell various Phillipe Cousteaux special editions over the years? 270
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Ah yes, like when I "towed" my dad's camper with my Boxster. 😂 020
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 25/10/2024My OHOAT! shipment is here and it's so beautiful! My ex used to do all the decorating and this is the first art I've ever purchased. 🥲 Thanks @saab.bsky.social for making such beautiful art and for the bonus bumper sticker! 1110
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 04/10/2024Today, on what would have been my grandma's 103rd birthday, it feels great to have the watch she gave me for Christmas in 1991 fully restored and back on my wrist. She's been gone 24 years, but I can still think of her any time I look at the watch. 1100
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 25/09/2024I always thought the 2+2 looked so awkward, but then I saw Detective Katagiri step out of his Fairlady Z in Tokyo Vice. Now I'm obsessed with the aesthetic. 😍 340
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 19/09/2024Yesterday, I took my park district's 4x4 training course. 8 hours of education and fun in an OHV park. I had never driven a 4WD truck off road before and I had so much fun! I'm forever a GMT800 stan; this truck is so much nicer to drive than the newer F150s and Rams we have. 😍 3251
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 13/07/2024That being said, I won't kick a Hardbody out of bed... 030
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 11/07/2024The thing is, I'm never NOT in the mood for Tacos 030
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 09/07/2024And a very honorable mention to my mom, a certified car girl. She bought a '72 Gran Torino brand new at 18. More recently, she daily drove a 987 Cayman for 13 years. One time she sweet-talked Laguna Seca security into a pace car ride for all of us, despite lack of credentials. 040
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 09/07/2024Definitely my pops (pictured here in 1970s Miami with my grandma and his 914). He and my grandparents used to camp at Sebring every year. I grew up going to Laguna Seca every August. Since I was a kid he's had Maximas, E46 BMWs, a VW GTI, and now a Porsche 996 and 986. 150
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 22/06/2024Is there any finer Saturday morning grocery getter than a 356 Speedster? 160
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 04/06/2024After 33 years of wearing quartz watches, I've purchased my first mechanical. I'm in love with the size and feel of this Seiko. 290
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 21/05/2024I have absolutely no need for one, but my heart still wants an S13. 060
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 25/04/2024I loved my translucent green Handspring Visor Neo! I remember reading the first few Harry Potter books on there. 120
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 24/04/2024But the 80s 200SX was a RWD S12 Silvia! 🤣 360
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 24/03/2024This week my dad, my brother, and I took a road trip from the Bay Area down to Paso Robles. We took the longest routes everywhere and found such beautiful roads and landscapes. We had the time of our lives. We're very thankful to have our cars and each other to explore with. 0111
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 03/03/2024The manual describes RWD Open Diff as "Turf Mode" which makes sense so you don't tear up the grass. But this implies that RWD Locked Diff is for other driving, such as gravel fire trails. I, of course, know that park goers would see me drifting and complain, so I stayed in Turf Mode. 110
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 03/03/2024We have a new EV at work, a Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic. I was able to take it up some trails to do some maintenance and must say I like it quite a lot. Feels a lot more lively than the John Deere Gator we were previously using, which is downright agricultural in comparison. 120
Patrick Linkous @patricklinkous.bsky.social · 09/02/2024I feel like City Toyota might have thrown in the towel on EVs a little too early. 021
