...and he doesn't know how to park.

msink · 07-23-2009, 01:24 PM

...maybe. With parking you dont know WHY someone did what they did. Maybe it was another car that couldnt park, and you were forced to cross a line as well. Then when the original offender leaves, you are left looking like the fool. So, I don't judge these situations, you just never know. I didnt park well either, but I wanted to get close to him for the picture, and then I stayed in the car.

Wow....that looks like a lot of fun. Which part of Vancouver was it?

My Lotus with some of my regular cars.

Boy, Camaro is a BIG car. Totally feels it when parking or changing lanes and you can feel every one of those 3,902 pounds...

Frank Amoroso · 08-27-2009, 08:20 PM

Part deux...

Rob T · 08-27-2009, 09:18 PM

That Camaro is a disgusting fat pig!

No offense!

Shorty111R · 08-27-2009, 09:27 PM

Frank,

1) Nice Camaro! It's fun to sneak up on those in a 1st Gen CTS-V and give them a run for their money!

2) The exact paint scheme of your Lotus is what finally convinced me to worship the Elise over the Cayman S in my early days of car research. Gorgeous car!

1) I haven't done so as of yet this week, but there are some Kia Rios that have been severely spanked. I will admit to dissapointment when I jumped in the Camaro for the first time last Friday and I became befuddled as to why the brake pedal was so wide and 'where's the clutch pedal damn it?' Then I saw that ginormous auto trans shifter staring at me. 'Phuck!' $1,185 is an expensive option when you consider it also comes with less hp & tq and more weight. Ugh.

2) Why thanks for the props, but the scheme was directly lifted from the 2006 Ford Tungsten GT Limited Edition. Too cool. Oddly enough, when I buy a Ford GT it will have to be red w/ a white stripe (as much as a I love the Tungsten) as nothing says brash Americana better / louder. Next week... Subaru Legacy. Nothing says mundane Americana better!

3) Here's another pic next to some, uhhhh, other vehicles...

camaro & elise... what a difference

DeanG · 08-28-2009, 11:43 AM

Elise w/ 2010 Camaro SS

It looks like the Elise is sticking its little red tongue out at the Camaro.

off road or on road both are never ending projects

kmhepler · 09-05-2009, 07:47 AM

Don't know that I've seen "regular car" defined here, and this is probably not one , but it sure is a contrast in sizes! Makes the next-to-a-Hummer photos ho hum.

Taken at a rest stop on I 81 in West Virginia last month.
