Hello all,

Sorry for the delay will post the last 3 weeks of car shows.

Don’t see these too often, or in this nice of shape even here in the Motor City. Believe it is a 69‘ Ford LTD.

Nice Rolls, believe the owner who was a younger guy just bought it and was driving it about for some shake down runs, awesome example.

This big old caddy had a sweet flame paint job on it! Cool to see some different spots.

Kinda a weird generation in my opinion this Firebird was another well kept vehicle.

Favorite spot of this day was this Mazda RX7!

Next week is here and a few more interesting spots.

Jeep gladiator with....you guessed it. A hellcat engine swap, (hellcat swap the world!)

Lovely old Ford pickup.

Quite common here now, new Supra is an interesting car. I personally really like them but waiting on a manual version. Hopefully in the next couple years it will be be released. (Save the manuals!)

Bumble bee challenger. These are a dime a dozen here and for pretty much being the same car for 12 years or more they still sell like hot cakes. Dodge must be making a killing of these.

Nothing like a car that wasn’t meant to survive long here in the flesh and looking so pristine! I feel I get more excited seeing examples like this now a days.

Same car (pretty much) with such different outcomes. Reminds me alittle of the Supra and Z4 deal.

Lovely colors and a very under appreciated vehicle. Seems like half of the examples I see here have the Holden badges swapped on them.

Didn’t take anymore pics of this one but it’s a Lancia off some type.

Now to a different type of car show. Pasteiners is known for its diverse and rare vehicles. Lots of higher ups visit that show every weekend. Here was a Euro based show run by some younger people. Nice to see different stuff!

Nothing like some old supped up Honda’s. JDM is really on the rise, so are their prices.

Weird little Renault panel van type deal. Honestly don’t know anything about them but was a cool spot.

All together, the BMW spots. I really like this M4 generation. The new ones have potential but just are not good looking in my opinion. Personally I think they were trying to harken back to the olden days but the execution wasn’t done very well. It will bring in new customers for BMW so I really think the company was looking towards the future with these designs. As well, shocking or controversial things sell and spread fast now a days. Probably reached millions of more potential new customers by taking this risk.

 Believe a Nissan Silvia S14? I like JDM but honestly don’t know too much about some of the models. Was a cool spot though.

One of my favorite spots, Toyota Pardo. Nice example and the red interior was wild!

Been diggin purple cars more and more and this is awesome. Believe a Nissan Skyline R33? These are becoming more popular and available than ever.

Evo spot :)

All the VWs I liked from the show. Always been a fan.

Alright on to this last weekend! First spot was a Canadian Golf City which got me excited. Find it funny I get more excited about weird/rare/unusual cars now a days than the latest Ferrari or McLaren.

Two very different cars but both have fun colors! I miss this! I hope manufacturers do more of this.

VW spots. Love seeing these but kinda at a point where at least to me stock nice examples are what I’m seeking out. Almost at a point where I should be saying: VR or 1.8t swap the world!

Best spot of the day! Honda CRX convertible looking awesome. Kinda mad I didn’t take a picture of the wheels they were so cool.

300ZX, don’t see too many around looking this nice anymore.

In the Motor City you will see muscle cars, lots of muscle cars.

I swear this wasn’t click bait see! Just the last photo I took this weekend. I spent a few minutes looking at this new M3. What I can say, interior looks really nice, prob the nicest thing about this vehicle in my opinion besides what I’ve heard about this cars driving dynamics and engine being more linear compared to the previous versions spiky power delivery. Bad parts, the grill is not for me, I like the regular 4-series the best for the new beaver teeth grill. Rear end was okay but how the rear quarter panel goes over the rear wheel is pretty wonky. As well, I am not a fan of how large vehicles are getting. This is the same size of a 5-series from not long ago. My mom got a new 21’ 3-series and it is a big car. Personally I’m more of a 2-series guy at the moment (we will see how the new generation looks this year) but idk really. I think it was a smart idea from BMW from a business perspective for new customers but I think the purists are not too happy about it. I hope they sell a lot of them and maybe to a mid cycle redesign/refresh ;)
