Man, I know that car but the life of me I can't remember who owns it. I want to say he had a feature article on it, but I can't even recall if it was print (Super Sport maybe?) or an online JNC article or something.

I want to make passionate love to that car!

Yea Corolla I mistyped. The owner is @bigmikemuniz on instagram. He said he was working on a second TE27 rebuild but some Saudi Prince bought it from him lol

Went to Yorkville, Toronto today for a local car show, the first car I took pics of wasn't at the show itself, but at a traffic light near by and its a fucking RWB! Appearently its the only RWB in Toronto, and it was built by none other than Akira Nakai san himself, he came to Toronto earlier for three days to finish off this project and my smartphone pics couldn't do this beauty any justice, this car is stunning.






Oh, there were other cars at the show as well:

SA Aperta, possibly the one that sold at RM Auctions back in January. Only 80 made; retail these days for around well over $1 million. Very rare to find on the used market, so it's one of those cars where the last few sold dictate where the market goes.

It's a iPhone6 pic and the lighting was not good (late afternoon), so didn't show up as good as in person.
Wish the pic could have captured the red paint hue and chroma better, it was amazing in person.
I doubt it was OEM paint.

The unicorn of SUV's, Nissan Murano Convertible. The only US SUV convertible made for awhile (pretty obvious why they don't make them anymore)

Umm... did you mean to post that in the WTF Car thread?

I've always wanted to talk to someone that owns one of those. Just to get inside their head and see what they were thinking.

The Murano Convertible, possible supersedes the Aztec for worst looking SUV ever.

That G63 even if I'm not a huge fan of the color.

Neighbor's son (who I don't know) Supra Turbo 4G (A80). He's been restoring it the past couple years, it's out of their garage now and running. Looks and sounds nice. They also have a 3G (A70) that's in the garage being restored.

Thank you! I love the 50mm lens I have. And without focal length adjustment, it kind of forces you to be creative to get the shot.
