Photo du Jour ( Car Related!)

You admit you had one? :ninja:
It was "gifted" to Herself by her parents. She could drive that thing for months with no issue but all I had to do was sit in it and ~something~ would fail. First time I drove it the cam belt snapped, had THREE brake master cylinders fail, heater valve catastrophically disintegrated, headliner fell on my head while doing 70MPH on an Interstate... It hated me and the feeling was mutual.

EDIT: PHOTO du Jour... just for Tom.

My first *new* car - as a first year teacher in Texas, it cost me a pretty penny. All of $1700!

Dealer installed a below-dash a/c. Driving out of the dealer lot, I hit a pot hole. The a/c unit fell out and onto the floor. But it was still putting out good cold air, so I left it that way for a few days.

Your taste in cars could only improve from there (as indeed it has) :cool:
 
If it's what I think it is, it's not German (may have been raced by Germans, but the car wasn't German, if it's what I think it is). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
It's not what I thought it was - but looks VERY similar to a car once driven by Jackie Stewart.
 
I blame the Mesopotamians.

...and cyber currency purveyors.
