  1. I am curious to know what is your next ride. Waiting for you to tell us!
  2. 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!!!
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. Ford aint too shabby either with their town tones in the '50s Mercury
  6. I like GM's 1950s two tones 1955 I think was some of the best
  7. 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.
  8. 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!!!
  9. 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!
  10. 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)
  11. Yes... Nothing accounts for that taste... Yes...Barney purple is not for everyone. Yet... There are plenty of FACTORY purple cars and SEVERAL customized wraps that people opted for over the years...
  12. Look how boring GM/Chevrolet got even with their 4 door MUSCLE CAR... The colour pallet was diverse enough. But there was something missing. The blue and reds were dynamic but something was amiss. They look lifeless on this car. . Both greens did not suit this car too well. The greys and white should have not even been offered. But somehow, over at Dodge they got it right. I think GM takes itself too serious. They have been taking themselves too serious the last decade. Far too long. Snap out of it!!!
  13. True, but that type of paint theme and scheme exemplifies Porsche and its image. Something similar to what Dodge (Mopar) and their muscle cars new and classic. Cadillac will NOT benefit from wild paint schemes and racy two tones like that anywhere on their vehicles. Well...maybe the marketing folk over at Cadillac responsible for V Series Blackwings should take a look at wild paint schemes like that. It might peak an interest to another subset of car folk... If stuffy imaged Rolls Royce could attract customers that want wild paint jobs on their Rolls Royces Including a Barney purple paint job Then surely Cadillac's historic arrogant car culture, especially with their current crop of V Series Blackwings, wouldnt feel out of place with a more colourful and daring pallet.
  14. GM should start selling high end Cadillacs like as if Cadillac was a boutique brand. At the very least, offer similar wide variety and customization choices like how they do things with the C8 Corvette with a plethora of colour pallets on the exterior and interior.
  15. because the image was not accepted by the website, so I found another one. Hopefully this pic is legal.
  16. Let the shyte brown colours die in the 1970s though...
  17. Well...bright blue as in baby blue Cadillacs? Because those 1950s baby blue Cadillacs were nice. I get it...baby blue and pink Caddys of the '50s is sooooo passé and rock-n-roll, milkshake cliché But...even in the 1970s...a bright blue Cadillac looked stately Bentleys dont seem to look bad at all with baby blues Even in green, they dont look half bad. There are mint and electric greens that Bentley offers, maybe Cadillac need not go there, but honestly, I could see a V Series Blackwing CT4 and CT5 with these greens... Two toned like this Rolls Royce on a supercharged V8 CT5 Blackwing The Escalade could benefit from a variety of those blues I posted above... This is a wrap
