A couple cars from the road rally today. It was quite an eclectic mix. Tomorrow is our local concours. Should be some more fun cars to see

Can any of you guys name this car. I didn't know it existed before today. Interesting collaboration between two automakers you wouldn't expect to work together

It’s funny. I was going to suggest Porsche and Ferrari.

Looks like a pretty cool car but it is weird the way the exhaust is sticking out so much.

Anybody know what this contraption is on the back of this truck?
It is parked outside my hotel near Detroit tonight...

At first I thought it was one of those cars that drives around recording video.... but I am not sure it is that. The equipment doesn't seem right for that....

Yeah - maybe.... Just seemed kind of a homemade look to the way everything was assembled together.
At least not a serial produced item...

Don’t think it’s Google maps (I’ve seen their cars - more cameras in a round case that sits on a pole). But it could be another mapping service. Might even be 3D map considering the 2 forward facing “camera” don’t have visual lenses and are facing the same direction. Might be what Apple uses to get the 3D perspectives…

May not be notable for most here but P cars are pretty rare in NEO.
