The painted horse on the stang is one of the cooler things I have seen in a while.

I also enjoyed the diversity of the cars that showed up. Very refreshing.

That wing on the Supra was the second stupidest thing I have ever seen, besides 24" rims on a Civic.

You should've seen the engine bay then! Same design but all over the place. Overdone IMO but to each his own. No pictures of it though.

OK before you hate, I was using a wide angle lens which made the wing look huge. Its actually just a normal sized spoiler.

I was concerned after seeing the first few pics, but the thread quickly improved. Looks like some great cars/bikes all around (aside from a few).

Yeah I took it like that on purpose. My bad for not stating. Definitely not a ricey Supra. Wide angle shots FTW!

If someone can help me tag the classics, that would be nice. Having problems identifying all the cars for my flickr. Dunno how we'd work it out though. I could give you temporary access to my account maybe.

PM me!
