Hey about a big round of applause for the beaters that I'll still snap pics of as they pass by. Go on. It's the best they got. Everyone deserves to be proud of what they got unless they're actively sabotaging themselves.

F Body Camaro at Automotion 2025. Three slot nose could either be a V6 model, base V8, or a Berlinetta model. Body dents and worn paint, but no actual, visible rust. Might be a sleeper. Pontiac Grand Prix at Automotion. Replacement bumper and hood, rusty body. New tires wrapped over some pretty pristine wheels. Work in progress or just keeping together as long as he can? Although the front clip of the V6 models and the V8 GXP I think were the same, I wanna say the bumper looks more like the GXP version. BME E39 3 Series Wagon at Automotion. Beautiful green. Rust and rust repair with primer work. Stuff falling off bottom. Probably the prettiest 3 Series wagon. Ford Ranger at Automotion. Mild squat. new wheels. Unsure if paint is deliberate or a work in progress, as it mostly looks primer and bondo. Suspension doesn't look right but might be low-rider style air suspension. Custom ground effects. Gonna assume work in progress waiting on paint.

Loooooooong S10. Why? Hell if I know.

This particular Bertone X1/9 keeps popping up places. Pretty sure I saw it four or five different times over the year at car things all over. Plus a couple times last year. Good for the owner getting this oddball out there.

Either the early SN95 is really growing on me or I'm a sucker for any red cabrio with a brown top, brown interior, and bronze wheels. Very likely, even.

Always been a big fan of the late model Jaguar XJS. According to the owner, the 6.0L V12 in the last models was much better than the previous one, and he claimed the I6 was bulletproof. Eh, hard sell.

And with current and future weather predictions I'd say the driving season is over once more, ending my second driving summer with the Miata. With the motorcycle being added to the garage the Miata has had a little less driving time, and very little top off time. But to next year!

More of that AMC goodness with one really over the top Javelin AMX build, lovingly called the Xecutioner apparently. Massive engine.

Here's something odd, incredibly rare, and very unique. I believe this one of a number of prototypes of the AMC/Jeep Cowboy, or possibly a custom built replica. These never made it to full production. See alt txt.

[ #jeep #amc #ute #cowboy #classiccars #photography #cars #photo #kenosha #carsky ]
Prototype or Custom built AMC/Jeep Cowboy, a type of ute, or pickup-bed equipped car. Had it made to production, it would have competed with the likes of the El Camino, Caballero, and the Ranchero, and like those it carried a western-themed name. Total number of prototypes are unknown, but most had straighter B-pillars than this. I'm leaning towards custom built replica.

Man, whatever happened to hood ornaments? I mean, I know what happened to them, but like, even so, they had vibe.

I'll say it. The modern Ferraris, while largely nice, still have nothing on the classics. Just nothing. The oldies are just too good.

VW Bussy (T2). The hooded lamps gives it a kind of tired looking face.

WITNESS: The Electric CitiCar from the 70s. Tiny. Slow. Shaped like a tire chock. Converted to newer batteries and smelled like an electrical fire. 25ish MPH top speed surprisingly and made it to the C&C under it's own power.

Kind of a sick 240sx driving by. Or at least I kinda like some of these more rare, beater ass looking tuners.
