Saw a well patina&#39;ed, lifted third gen Subaru Legacy wagon on chonky tires and bronze TE37 style knock offs while I was at the liquor store this evening. Looked the bidnez. I&#39;m kicking myself for not having the presence of mind to snap a quick picture to share. Smallish town - I&#39;ll probably see it again. I should do something with my Alltrack...

I&#39;ve been &#39;boosting&#39; a bunch of posts that are from the xitter bird.makeup fediverse gateway lately. There&#39;s no interaction with these accounts typically but I boost because pretty automotive art should be shared ...

Porsche 928 (Late 16V w/ 5sp) vs Mercedes SL500 (R129). Assume the R129 has flappy paddles via aftermarket kit or has been 5sp swapped (trying to make sorta apples-to-apples). Given similar pricing and &quot;gas-n-go&quot; condition which would you pick? Why? Fight! 😀 #Porsche #Mercedes #928 #R129 #Cars #CarsOfMastodon #WeirdCarMastodon

I really don&#39;t get why VW doesn&#39;t have a Beetle EV in their line-up. At least here (Canada) they don&#39;t sell one. I don&#39;t see one on the UK site. Seems like it would be a &quot;no-brainer&quot; to me, especially this far into EV availability. I mean, Mini EV, Fiat 500 EV, Renault EV, etc., etc. WTF is VW even doing? LOL #Cars #CarsOfMastodon #VW #Volkswagen #EV

I was today years old when I discovered that the Mercedes R129 had strut front suspension. WAT!? How did I miss this in the last 30+ years? Maybe I forgot. Ha. I guess this layout has been a staple on Mercs forever but for some reason I thought the R129 was more &quot;sports car bespoke&quot;. I wonder if the later R-chassis cars are strut too... Here&#39;s that flappy paddle shift kit for the 722 I was referring to earlier. https://www.ofgear.dk/ #Mercedes #R129 #Cars #CarsOfMa...

Dear UK car nerds... It&#39;s been a long time since I&#39;ve sat in a MGB GT (~1996) and even longer since I&#39;ve sat in a Mk1 Capri (~1983). How do these cars compare to one another when sitting in the cabin? Does one have a better feeling of quality? Does one feel more comfortable for a six foot tall person? I don&#39;t remember feeling cramped in either but that was decades ago and 40 lbs lighter. Ha. #MG #MGB #Capri #Ford #FordCapri #BritishLeyland #CarsOfMastodon #...
