Re-upping my introduction on here. I'm Blake from Houston,Tx. I make weird modernist art jewelry and post about small silly cars. Mostly on Mastodon with the same username, but I am staking a claim here as well.

Oh I and I suppose you think this is funny, don’t you? I’ll bet you’d call this a “hoisting” or “the consequences of my own actions,” wouldn’t you?

Some guy on the OEM Wheels On Other Makes & Models Facebook page just casually dropped one lone picture of his second gen Honda City on Mitsubishi Starion wheels like it wasn't the world-stopper that it is.

The Groar 504 was famous for its reliability. Many say that if one had been built in the Neolithic Age, it would still be running somewhere today. The same, however, cannot be said for its flying evolution.

The 2000s were many things, but they were not Rad.

RADwood getting even radder 🔥 RADwood Will Have Its First ‘Millenia’ Class For 2000s-era Cars, Here’s A Sneak Preview --> tinyurl.com/yktdc7hn

Early 2000s may not be peak design, but it was peak car. All the modern manufacturing practice, but pre-giant screen and pre direct injection.

at one point I started thinking that 2000-2010 was a horrible time for car design (and it is if you only focus on some particularly ungainly DaimlerChrysler models), but there was enough wild stuff where companies were *going for it* that persuaded me otherwise. Much more than 2010-2020 IMO

#RadRide at auction today bonus feature! Anyone want a vehicle that is every bit as much substance as style? Then you want this 98 Mazda Titan! This style is known as Dekotora: Trucks covered in art, lights, custom bodywork and interior mods! Still a functional dump! DM for interest or to bid! #JDM

I am so sick of these degenerate fucks.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

When you need a car with history's most brittle turbo manifold from a 323 GTX, but you also want a car that will leak like a MF every time it rains.

The Australian Ford Capri was conceived from the outset with exports to North America in mind. In 1991 it was launched there under the Mercury badge, in standard and turbocharged 1.6-litre versions, the latter shown wearing the XR2 badge (borrowed from Ford Europe) in this US brochure.

Quilting Rail Fence Riff! 🧵 I chose a loose, blocky meander with green thread that blends into the mid-tones while letting the rust accents pop. This quilt looks complex but is built with simple strip piecing, making it beginner-friendly and quick to sew. #RailFenceRiffQuilt #QuiltSky
