Just a few cars spotted locally to show that not all Alabamians are tasteless.

I wish I could dig up the picture, since it’s been nearly seven years or more, but I was driving through Birmingham one day and passed one of the biggest monstrosities I’ve ever seen:

Someone had chopped the roof (to a targa style), trunk, etc from a mid-90s Civic, painted the majority of it with primer, and spray painted in red on the sides “Hell Camino.”

So yes, you’re right. Most of Alabamians don’t have taste...and I say that as a native.

That sounds pretty bad...

There’s also a guy who owns a gold (yes gold) S-Class in my neighborhood. I sigh everytime I see it.

I just bounced through a few of your posts and saw the picture of it outside Starbucks. It’s definitely a thing. Where in ‘Bama are you?

Mountain Brook. That post you were referring to was posted by Daily Drives a Dragon, a fellow AL Oppo.

Ahhhhh crud. That’s right. Same car?

I totaled my mother’s Fusion on I-65 across from George Washington Carver High about seven years ago. Worst part was the guy who I hit got out of his 240SX and said “I loved that car.” I’ll never forget the look on his face, but I was glad we were both alive.

I’m just now starting to find myself more frequently on Oppo. Nice way to pass the time in hotels.

Have you seem that awesome vintage mini that is sometimes in the Western parking lot? Blue with minilite wheels and stripes? That thing out classes the usual yukons and merc suvs you see there by several orders of magnitude

I sold my dark blue classic mini to a guy that lives near Birmingham about a month ago. I’m in Phenix city but only as of last year. Leaving in February thankfully, Alabama is a not for me.

I have seen that recently! That parking lot always has something good in it on the weekends. Also, sometimes I see a CDM Chrysler Neon driving around there.
