OK, another diversion in the "gorgeous" category.
1995 Peterbilt 362 cabover, stretched.

Old school, a classic.


OK, back to cars now.

Heres one:


I mean they have a certain charm and they look great, they aren't THAT bad....(has flashbacks of ABC system repairs)

Ah very nice, goes will with a W140

I was tempted to post a picture of the 2006 745Li but I think I might be shot if I do, I like how those look but I'm very much in the minority.

Thank you for that beautiful Miura. A few years ago, I was headed up interstate 280 north of Palo Alto. In my reave view mirror, I saw a bunch of super low somethings coming up in single formation. A set of 6 or 7 Miuras went by; the last car was a Pantera. Unbelievable. Unforgettable.
I believe the Adirondack bat company gave Willie Mays one when he hit his 600th home run.

For the tuner enthusiasts.. JDM 1990 Honda CRX, heavily (but tastefully) modified. The feature article below has more detailed info.

Although not a classic or a contender for any of the other cars posted here, this car deserves appreciation. My 2006 Camry SE V6 (3.3L) is fun to drive, extremely comfortable, and reliable with now hitting above 170K miles. I personally think it's one of the best looking Camry's the've made



A very simple and intuitive setup, something most modern cars have lost




I drove it for 12 years, and gave it to my daughter who drives it all over the place in Southern California. Before she went off to university, I offered to replace it with a newer model Corolla or Civic, and she refused. Kids these days...
