Time for our daily OPPO field trip to do what we always do, look at cars :]

Yesterday, we took the old rear engine, 4 rotary diesel, carbon fiber OPPO bus out to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in Brazil. This town offered a lot of sights and vehicles. We had a couple of the classic "wtf is this" car moments starting with JawzX2's Ford Corcel, which Laird Andy later translated for me that it means Stallion. Brian Silvestro came through with some Torchbait. KnowsAboutCars stopped a nice section of the street with some rad cars, almost wallpaper worthy. Also, a cool unidentified car and the rice of the day :] My RazoE pick of the day was that odd but awesome !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Stuttgartobsessed kept true and pointed out those sweet giant Merc work trucks aka my apocalypse vehicle of choice. Thanks to all who played, much much appreciated. Sorry for late responses, work has a bit hectic as well as today.

Today, April Fools Day, we are going to the country that is home to the funniest people on Earth... Germany! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to be exact. Nice town, I get a hometown feel to it.

WARNING : Hatchbacks everywhere

Sorry if I haven't picked anything but is is crazy again :( good luck everyone!!

niiiice!!! I spelled it right on the down a little further lol. The "funniest people" was a South Park reference :] This is like the 5th time on CCIARAT that either it's a home town of a relative's hometown. Small world man :]

So, I'm digging Germany's privacy laws, as obnoxious as it makes our little game. It looks like you can request that Google completely blur out the StreetView image of your house, if you like.

This town is simply crawling with 911s ... I see Germany still does White Collar old-school-style.

Chrysler 300C Touring (not to be confused with the US market trim level on the first gen 300), aka Dodge Magnum with a 300 nose.

Given up, there was a really nice tram, but not sure if that counts, so I've settled on this hippymobile

The Cobalt was never sold in Germany (probably because of the Astra), but here's the HHR .

Citroen Traction Avant, I believe. The first steel monocoque front wheel drive car, but not the world's first FWD car.

Ok, so at first I spotted it accross the intersection and was like, " Oh! sweet! Impreza 2.5 RS Coupe !" then I got closer and was all like " WTF? Convertible conversion Subaru ?" and then I got even closer and I was like, " Thats No Subaru! " MK V Escort Cabrio?

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > carcrasher88
04/01/2014 at 14:19

Yeah - I was just looking up old Citroens and found it.

"monocoque" Say it with me, friends.

Lada Niva and a garage that apparently specializes in servicing Ladas.

If you did Biberach, one of my host family's neighbors drives a 60-something blue Mustang fastback with white stripes. I actually chased it down one time to see if it had British tags, because how many blue/white original Mustangs are daily driven in Europe? Probably two, and half of them are owned by the Hamster.

But anyway,

Awesome old Alfa.

Forgot what the Opel Saturn Sky is called, but this is one and I like it.

Extremely lightweight, single seat, open-wheel awesomeness!!!

Well, my dad owned 3 LT's back in the day, A LT31 first gen pre-facelift, a LT35 first gen post-facelift and a second gen 28 pre-facelift. First gen's were both inline six diesel non-turbo, alarmingly slow but hella' bulletproof engines. Body was quite resistant to rust too compared to other vans of that era. The second gen was a pos though, hella fast for a van but had a catastrophic engine failure, and when that was "fixed" the tranny started to let go and the diff decided it lived long enough. Too bad. Now my dad owns a Fiat Ducato (Also sold as Peugeots and Citroëns with different names, I belive those are sold as Dodge in the US).

04/01/2014 at 14:51

The Opel version of the saturn was called Opel GT. Yup, that 4x4 is a Niva. And a nice Fiat Barchetta ! Those things look nice, too bad they ware FWD.

Kinja'd!!!

Is this a C43? At the least its a C230 Sport, meaning it could potentially be manual and supercharged.

EL_ULY > 190e30-Now with COSWORTH
04/02/2014 at 19:26

ummm? it has the sport wheels from a W203. I think maybe it's just a clean W202 with newer wheels or a C43 with newer wheels lol. The fron is too blurry for me to accurately ID but very good find non the less :] Much appreciated
