THAT is a mystery waiting to be solved... Its got Caprice mags. I dont know what the face looks like, but it does look like its got a hood ornament. The rear quarters DO say Impala SS and the C Pillar has that Impala SS kink. The Caprice had that triangular peak. But wait on a second... From I think 1995, the Caprice ditched that C Pillar design and gained the Impala kink and the lights in the back... And so in that mystery pick...we could see that the lights have chrome around them and the Impala SS was DEVOID of chrome trim in the backlights. I think that this car was a Caprice and was accidented and was repaired with Impala SS rear fenders .

What you are worried about is NOT whether its sealed or not... What you are worried about is whether proper anti-corrosive measures are adequate on the WHOLE body and undercarriage regardless if the Tesla or VW Bug is sealed or not. Rivian... Do we know if they are properly protected against the rusting that we see in some parts of North America? I know the Tesla Model S is ALUMINIUM. Aluminium has its own corrosion worries, but bubbling rust to create holes in the metal is NOT one of them. The Model 3? All Teslas are sealed. Actually, ALL EVs are sealed... for the battery and fragile electronics that go with the battery tech... Regardless, its the proper anti-rust measures that count more so than if the vehicle in question, any vehicle, is sealed... Japanese imports of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s all were RUST buckets... Mazdas TODAY corrode JUST by looking at them...

Yes they are...

Sorry David... But Tesla HAS got that covered

And by THAT time a C9 Corvette will ALSO hit the streets! STOP PHOQUING TROLLING! STOP RESPONDING LIKE AN ADOLESCANT IDIOT!

With that being said... You dont seem to understand what engineering means... Ill repeat, if Mercedes and Porsche engineering is sooooo great, why is it that it takes Mercedes 3 times the money to accomplish what Chevrolet engineers could achieve, and STILL fall short?

I am curious to know what is your next ride. Waiting for you to tell us!

Its not slower. In fact, in real track races over at IMSA, Corvette and Corvette Racing has cleaned BMW's clock now for 20 years. So....stop your phoquing lies... https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a37220827/watch-the-bmw-m4-competition-lap-the-nurburgring-in-730/ Despite its questionable exterior styling, the G82 generation BMW M4 Competition represents a significant step on from its predecessor. Thanks to the team over at Sport Auto, we now have a chance to see the new car prove itself on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. With test driver Christian Gebhardt at the wheel, the sports coupe posted an impressive lap time of just 7 minutes 30.79 seconds. BASE PHOQUING CORVETTE AGAINST THE TOP LINE 3 AND 4 SERIES BMW STOP YOUR TROLLING!!!

Nobody phoquing said that What was said is that the C8 Z06 WILL trounce the 'Ring's current times... To boot, the Z06 will be a fraction of the price of the German cars. If German engineering is sooooo phoquing great, I wanna know why Mercedes and Porsche cant seem to engineer a faster car than the Corvette at Corvette's engineering and MSRP price points? You see, it goes both ways. YOU say that why doesnt GM engineer a higher priced machine? I say, the opposite, why is it that German and Italian supercar engineering canNOT be met at Corvette's price point? GTFO with you shyte phoquing analysis! It means nothing. Its worthless.

The colour white for cars is like the flavour vanilla for desserts. Kinda plain but still very very interesting if done right. (Vanilla as a flavour is hella tasty and delicious...) Look at all those 1950s two toned cars. Plain jane and only white, but there is something about a 440 Challenger R/T And its modern counterpart with just the right amount of black accents. White Trans Ams are the same way with the subtle electric blue stripes and the blue back end A couple of (mostly) all white C4 Vettes make a statement And as clichéd as a white Cadillac (Deville or Eldorado)) convertible with Longhorns are on the hood (Boss Hogg original and Burt Reynolds' version), you got to admit, these cars look good in white http://motorlandamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_3187-1200x900.jpg How about a modern white Caddy? Id say its a winner!

Ford aint too shabby either with their town tones in the '50s Mercury
-
I like GM's 1950s two tones 1955 I think was some of the best
-
Its nice to see Ford did the grey bottom thing too in the 1980s Some might not find that grey bottom two tone look appealing. I like it a lot I must say. About the ONLY time I like grey on a car. I may not like that red stripe around the middle however.

Since awhile back we've talked about and seen 1980s two toned paint jobs. Those 3 Chevys (Bel Air maybe but def Caprices), I wonder if these iconic 1980s Chevys are considered two toned? And of course early C4 Corvettes that are NO question two toned. And this lovely Oldsmobile And the Cierra keeping the theme of the Supreme but more so from the Cavalier Z24 and early Z28s in that the bottom skirts are grey... Pontiac B Body was like the Chevy B Body Albeit these are from the 1970s And the Pontiac G Body followed suit But had an extra treat as the lower body lines also had the top colour I like this two toned treatment from Pontiac. The last two Pontiacs do have that shytty 1970s brown theme going on, this hue and application does look good!!!

The Challenger looks good on 99% of the colour pallet Dodge has for it! Sometimes I want a Plum Crazy one. Sometimes I want that Go Mango Challneger I posted earlier with the two black racing stripes. Other times I want that same orange with an all black hood. Sublime Green with an all black hood is my go to for the Challenger, but that F8 Green looks awesome too right about now. Sometimes I just wanna sing the Blues with "my" Challenger. Other times I just wanna be like Johnny Cash with the Chally and be dressed all in black. Other times, Arrest Me Red does wonders for my soul if I owned a red Challenger!

I dont like purple on most cars either. Other than the Mopars. Although one Mopar I dont like purple on IS the Prowler oddly enough. I used to like it. I got over it. I prefer a yellow Prowler nowadays. On the 911 I posted, I kinda like it. Both Midnight Purple Skylines are 2 die for! Both Mercedes' cars are doable in purple. Although these are wraps I believe. The Volvo, like a mid 1990s Pontiac Sunfire is a hard NO! But the point is: That many folk like purple cars of all shapes and sizes, brands and it dont matter where on the money scale they are in... Yes. The Orange Blast colour for the SS was a blast for sure, (the colour came after the initial launch as my pic was from the original launch colour pallet for the SS)
