I have acquired a new dream car today. Moreover, my Miata needs a badge sibling. [ #Mazda #lantis #jdm #carsky ]

#RadRide at auction today bonus feature! Imagine a world where Mazda made the competitor to the Civic R. A 4-door sedan with crazy options like that massive wing and a K-series V6 under the hood to push that rivalry. The 95 Mazda Lantis Type R. What could have been. DM for interest or to bid! #JDM

The Fiero was greatness, actually. Well, I mean, the engines were a bit wonky, it was built poorly, they exploded, and the transmissions were all god awful. But they were still great. [ #pontiac #fiero #classiccars #photography #cars #carsky #80s #customcar ]

There's quite a bit to take in on this listing. Like that's a Microfiche reader. Seriously, when was the last time you saw one of those? And there's diagnostics for an SLR McLaren. [ #mercedesbenz #bringatrailer ]

I feel like this is a common wrap color for WRXs. At least I've seen it on more than one generation. Although it kinda looks like paint. Maybe It's paint. I don't fuckin' know, man. [ #wrx #subaru #cars #tuner #carsky #photography ]

MGB is just '60s Miata. A friendly face. At least until that horrid rubber bumper showed up (though probably still better than the front and rear benches added to the Alfa Spider lol). [ #mgb #mg #classiccars #roadster #britishcars #britishleyland #cars #carsky #photography ]

Now here's an odd one. A factory chassis but then a body half composed from VW parts plus a VW engine. And it's a convertible SUV! Once in a while a true oddball pops up on BaT. [ #classiccars #volkswagen ]

One of Rotiform's own demo cars! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-biagini-passo-2/

Jaaaaaaaaaaaag(s) at a car show earlier this month. Vaguely related, I watched a movie called Cat People last night which was about panthers. Then I drove my Jaguar, wondering if it'd turn into Nastassja Kinski. [ #jaguar #catpeople #etype #xk8 #classiccars #cars #carsky #photography ]

Now here's a pickup truck worth driving, unlike the big bloated orange thing next too it. And look, it can still comfortably fit into parking spaces and doesn't have atrocious sightlines. [ #truck #classiccars #chevy #ratrod #photography #custom #tbucket #vintage #cars #carsky ]

HarleyDavidson Forty-Eight, basically a Sportster with a bit of a bobber look. This one, like most Harleys, has some custom bits. Right now I'm actually looking for a Sporty to do a custom build with over winter. This has some inspiring bits. [ #harleydavidson #photography #motorcyle #motosky ]

Btw I made an alternate account @the-deer.bsky.social for my random non-car/photography stuff. It always felt kinda weird sharing some other things here, like my brain felt it was off topic and I couldn't mentally reconcile it lol. So here's my alt, I followed some of y'all already.

I used to really dislike this old Mustang face. But honestly it's really grown on me over time. Just a funky looking guy. [ #classiccars #ford #mustang #hotrod #cars #photography #carsky #foxbody ]

Everyone remembers Autozam for that lil' gullwing-door sports car, the AZ-1. But they made other cars too, like this turbocharged AZ-Wagon, this one sporting some BBS wheels and stylish chrome. [ #autozam #azwagon #az1 #suzuki #cars #photography #jdm #import #carsky #carculture #keicar ]

In this home we like strange imports and cars we've never heard of until we see it. Like this Toyota Kijang. Only one in the country? Very possible. [ #toyota #kijang #import #jdm (actually sold in Indonesian markets and I think China, not Japan iirc) #cars #carsky #photography #classiccars ]

Sometimes I still sketch and have the audacity to share it among my car photos. Still that same Deer fucker. I wonder why. Maybe if I did this every day I'd be a lot better at this. But habits are hard to pick up. Maybe I should learn anatomy. But here's my deer.

Come January 1st we'll be one year away from maybe renaming this account to i_drive_an_alfa_romeo_gt I mean, probably not. Things might be worse then. And I don't know if I'd really sell my Miata for this. But the option will exist. [ #alfaromeo #cars #carsky ]

For being made in 1980 this thing looked straight out of the American '60s. But good, because Aston cooked with this one. [ #astonmartin #classiccars ]

Hey, is that a Chevy Nomad, the coolest Chevy wagon ever? No you fool look at the door and headlight combo. That's the Bel-Air Townsman! (inb4 someone points out I'm wrong) [ #chevy #nomad #belair #classiccars #cars #carsky #photography #carshow ]

For the car show I went to on Sat I took the FatBob, and y'know at about 55F when I left it wasn't so bad but temps be dropping. We'll see how much more riding I can wrestle before cold is cold. Should also clean this thing. [ #harleydavidson #motorcycle #motosky #fatbob #photo #motorbike #harley ]

Gorgeous Lotus Esprit V8. I was actually leaving the show when I saw this pulling in so I hopped off my bike, grabbed the cam, and ran over to get some pics lol. Worth. Also, peak w e d g e [ #lotus #esprit #classiccars #britishcars #cars #carsky #photography #espritv8 ]

Corvette Itasha jump scare ('tis the scary season). On a C6, too. But yknow what? I always find these funnier when they're not wrapped over the usual suspects. [ #itasha #corvette #cars #carsky #onepunchman #anime #photography #carspotting ]

There was a time where International Harvester made this bug-eyed thing, the Metro. This one appears to be camper converted. Most of the pictures on Wikipedia are also fairly rusty and patinaed, funny enough. [ #internationalharvester #metro #classiccars #van #photography #carshow #carsky #cars ]

See the blue plate? That means the GTO is old now. Do you remember when it came out? That means you're old too. [ #pontiac #gto #holden #cars #carsky #classiccars #vintage #ancientofdays #historical #photogrophy #antiquity ]

I see first-gen Camaro convertibles so infrequently I often forget they even exist. But compared to Mustangs or first-gen Firebirds these Camaros just seem to be less common in general. [ #camaro #chevrolet #cars #classiccars #carshow #carspotting #photography ]

First a new Jaguar, now a new Alfa Romeo (concept), and a new Lancia tomorrow (i like the little previews so far)...I'm eating good this month it seems. [ #alfaromeo #conceptcar #cars #parismotorshow ]

My poor Alfa, just kinda rotting there. I do have it up for trade, in the very thin hopes that I can score a Harley Sportster to desecrate with an intasha (probably cheaper than a car, right?). Just can't find the time or money for the poor girl. ๐Ÿ˜• [ #alfaromeo #classiccars #carsky ]

Aaaand wow it looks more like the concept than I would have expected. But if i had a favorite part of the concept it would have been the rear end with the slot lines. And holy shit they kept it Although maybe this was designed in 2021 actually?? [ #jaguar #type01 #cars #carsky ]

A lone biker showed up to the Point Burger Bar car show, a custom hardtail V-Star. He said it wasn't very comfortable. But hey it looks pretty cool. [ #yamaha #motorcycle #vstar #motorbike #biker #carshow #photography #motosky ]

True story, this is actually my favorite flavor of S197 Mustang GT. The blue, the silver stripes. Mm, yes. Gray interior too? Mama Mia. [ #mustang #mustanggt #cars #carsky #photography #carspotting ]

Aight, so I showed you the old Challenger. So, uh, here's the newer Challenger. What do they have in common? V8s and discontinuation. [ #mopar #cars #carsky #musclecar #photography #dodge #challenger #carshow ]
