No pic, but I was at dinner in Asheville last night with my son, former spouse, and my mother after my son's travel soccer game (Ex & Son reside in Charlotte). My son & I heard a very familiar late 80's BMW engine behind us (M20/M30 - sitting outside) and then heard the front end bottom out. Mid-30's female driving a manual 88-89 black/lotus 635CSI. Given the year it looked fairly decent, minus the front spoiler. Sounded GREAT when she took off onto the main road. To quote my son, "Dad, they just do not make them like they used too!" He despises the new BMWs as much as most of us do.

Saw a General Lee painted Charger (original, not the current design) when we went to dinner the other night.

Perhaps I should get a dash cam just to make sure I get pics of things like that...

A bit of a unicorn at my office. Manual 435i Coupe M Sport in Estoril. Pretty much exactly how I would get mine. From the front plate, looks like a European Delivery as well. Weirdly temporary Georgia tags.

The zip ties on the plate are by far the best mod...

I don't get why people put the front license on like that. It looks terrible.

Either go with the traditional center position or don't bother.
