Talk about a blast from the past, loved those windows on the SVX. From the same era, I recently saw a Dodge Stealth twin turbo going across the Causeway. Looked just like this:

I was really excited the first time I saw one in person but I'm starting to see them more and more, the Ineos Grenadier, someone in Lafayette must have one now.


Alternate submission: The cabover 18 wheeler, I felt like I hadn't seen any on the road in many years and recently started seeing some restored ones loaded up and going down the highway.

I'm embarrassed to admit that it took WAY too long to realize that the Ineos Grenadier wasn't a G-Wagon.



I kept seeing a black one at my daughter's school and a light blue one in a strip mall nearby and finally got up close to it to realize it wasn't an updated version of a G-Wagon.

the Ineos Grenadier


Had one for 8 months. Windsheild is a rock magnet and driving to Houston for service is a bitch. Not the dumbest purchase Ive ever made, but its up there.

One like this pulled up behind me at a gas station yesterday. I haven't thought about a Riviera in a long long time.

I saw a 280zx anniversary that looked just like this this past weekend. My dad used to have one when I was little except his was black with the turbo. He would let me lay the back set down and stare out the back window. Parents would probably get arrested for that now.

I just helped take an 85 honda civic out of a storage unit. We put in some oil, jumped it and drove it home. It ran like crap because all the lines going to the carb have cracked.


It was pretty cool just to sit in it and remember the 80s death trap interiors.

It has a crazy vacuum line system to meet emissions. Grand total of 61 vacuum lines. The entire top of the motor looks like spaghetti.

Of course they popped the hood and were working on something

While not this particular Studebaker truck I have seen one in the same age range, with a similar color, 3-4 times this year.
