I kind of like that! Some quick research brought up quite a few images. Apparently, it's a one-off kit car called the Mesa One. Nice!

A few images from a recent road trip ....

What's up with the bed in this Ford? After seeing this one, I noticed at least 2 more while on the trip.

^ That Crew-Cab Chevelle wouldn't even get a glance except for the fat redlines and the low stance. A stealth machine. What they used to call Q-ships.

Right. 'In the day' we would've snickered at something like that (any 4-door!) ... 'what is that, your Grandpa's car?' Now it's pretty cool to see one.

Yep, the collector car market has gotten so ruined that people are putting $$ into old 4-door cars, calling absolutely WGAS cars from 50 years ago, "muscle cars" and anything that is a legit muscle car is too precious and valuable to drive much. It sucks but what are you going to do.

And yeah, that Ford PU is bent in half. I can't believe that he can get away with driving it on a highway. Those and dog-tracking vehicles should be impounded on sight by any LEO who sees one.

That's an Ohio plate on the 2006 F150. I bet northern Ohio. Hopefully broken but just patched poorly.

Sorry, no camera, but saw a Citroen 2CV on the freeway Wednesday... the driver looked exactly like you would picture a guy who owned a Citroen!

His plate was 2CV, probably an easy plate to get.

What makes you think that is what he is driving the GT2RS for? And more importantly why does it matter? It is his/her money (hey its CA, could be a her getting balls waxed too!).



If money was no object, I'd buy one to just to experience it, I do not think it would be a long term keeper for me though.
