QUESTION:

Did anybody go to this particular C&C? If so, was City to Circuit scheduled afterwards? Did anybody go? Let me know.

This CRX Si really surprised me. Never seen one before.

Esprit V8!!!!!

Dat parking tho. It takes skill to park right smack-in the middle of the line.

My first RX-7!!! I nearly shit myself when I saw this.

You could literally fit a bagel in that exhaust.

Mmmmm, 924S engine is sexy.....

One of my favorites here. I don’t like the gold stripe though.

Normal C&C stuff, but I loved it to death.

It looks angry.

Twin cold-air intakes for the win.

That huge Viper badge. Hah.

Ugly brakelights, but fits the car perfectly.

Extremely modified Hyundai Genesis Coupe

2 spoilers!

Lotus and ‘slammed’ F-150. Or something like that.

This GT-R is gorgeous in white.

Funny licence plate time!

I pissed myself when I saw a Cosworth-swapped 86 with that plate. Oh wait, that’s AN 86!?!??! I live in Kansas!

I love this interior. So simple, so fitting...

The carbon-fiber door thingys look like they are melting at the bottom.

Never seen a V-12 up close.

Tried to bring my inner photographer out.

Everything that goes up, must be admired.

HOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAPHOLYCRAP

So many Top Gear memories...

Just to make sure....

Funny story- some ricers came up and started shouting ‘CLEEEEEN!’ at the car. Dammit, ricers.

Is this a 959 reference? I hope so. Maybe F40....

Someone ‘broke the law’ by parking wrong and then you decided to serve up some hot internet vigilantism by not blurring his license plate?

That’s just terrible.

It’s kind of ridiculous really.

What law are you even talking about?

What’s up with blurring license plates anyway? They’re out there for the world to see, after all.

Jdrentarol > Bluecold
02/03/2016 at 14:49

Fine, fine, fine, i’ll blur it...

Ah, someone else who was there! Here’s mine, next to a nice original Voyager that popped up.

There’s actually no real reason for blurring plates in the U.S. Unlike in some other countries, you can’t really find out much from a plate number in the U.S.

Double-parking?

As cool as some of those cars are, I'd still go for the CRX. I haven't seen a first gen Si in probably 20 years. And that one has a sunroof and the rear wiper? That's just about every option they came with!

Andy Sheehan, StreetsideStig > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 14:51

That’s my CRX! I was there! At the very same place! Seeing those very same cars!

There were actually a few of us Oppos there. CherryMan_1, Jayhawk Jaye, and another guy I just met that day.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how many awesome cars are in the area.

It was Jay Lauer, not Jayhawk Jake who showed... Jayhawk Jake has a black Sonic.

So people don’t falsely report them, I guess.

Jdrentarol > Andy Sheehan, StreetsideStig
02/03/2016 at 14:55

Yea, me too. I just saw a dark grey Vantage V8 (not the one at C&C) at 75th and Metcalf, if you know where that is. I’ll give you photos soon.

Jdrentarol > Stapleface
02/03/2016 at 14:56

I love it too, and especially in that red!

Jdrentarol > Berang
02/03/2016 at 14:56

You can false report them. But I cherry-picked those 2 hilarious plates. Suprised nobody has talked about them.

Jdrentarol > DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully
02/03/2016 at 14:58

Crap. Sorry if I offended you. I was the one who talked a bit when you first pulled in. Please, my apologies.

Stapleface > Jdrentarol

One of the three original colors. It could had in Red, White, or Blue. Kind of funny as an import when you think about it.

Andy Sheehan, StreetsideStig > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 15:02

I do know where that is. I live in Westwood, just west of the Plaza over the state line. Neat! We’ll have to meet up at the next C&C.

Hey, it’s all water under the bridge. I took it out because I figured why not? Plus, of the two, it’s the only one that was clean... Doubleplus, the rest of the Oppo crowd got a laugh out of me trolling with a glorified K-car.

Now, if I had shown in my Mazda, your question about whether or not it’s supposed to be admired would have been far more appropriate. Speaking of which, I plan on taking it to the next one, dirt, Oppo stickers and all.

Speaking of Oppos, though... The red Gran Torino is Cherry_man1's car, and there were a couple more of us hanging around that part of the lot.

Yea, I live near Milburn Country Club! No idea there were so many Opponauts in KC.

Andy Sheehan, StreetsideStig > Stapleface

Well, that makes me feel pretty great. When I first got the car, it was cruddy. I put some mechanical work into it, then started working on appearance, replacing the broken panels with less broken panels, and adding HF bumpers instead of the droopy stock ones. (You can’t see it from this angle, but the rust around the edges of the still operational sunroof was bad, so I taped it over and then dipped the whole thing.)

Early on, I thought about getting rid of it. It’s pretty rusty underneath. But then I realized how rare they are. I haven’t seen another first gen on the road. I couldn’t just sell it.

I need to keep it going for a couple more years, until I get a house, and then I’ll get something else and garage the CRX for a full resto.

So great. I loved the Double K appearance.

Yea, I met Cherry_man1 at a weekly car show @ Long Branch Saloon, which is now sadly shut down. I believe he has a friend with a Dodge Viper engine in his Ram, and a white Gran Torino. I was just wondering why the hell a grandma would show up at C&C, and then I got the joke.

DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 15:10

There’s a couple of us floating around.

Jdrentarol > Stapleface
02/03/2016 at 15:10

Kind of funny even when you don’t think about it.

Ach. Right you are. I keep forgetting that’s not his callsign.

DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 15:15

I know who you’re talking about... I met him one time when Cherry_man1 had a little shindig over at his place in Olathe, but I can’t place his name for the life of me. I want to say it’s Justin, but my memory isn’t the most reliable. His Gran Torino is pretty sweet, though.

Jdrentarol > DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully
02/03/2016 at 15:18

He looks like this car guy on YouTube

https://www.google.com/search?q=tc970…

don’t you agree? But I like the ‘Dorothy’ Ram V10 more than the sweet Gran Torino.

DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 15:22

I’d agree, the Ram is a bit sweeter.

Jdrentarol > DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully
02/03/2016 at 15:22

Did you see it in the ‘Dorothy’ stage? And also, agree with me, that TC9700 guy looks just like him.

DancesWithRotors - Driving Insightfully > Jdrentarol
02/03/2016 at 15:26

There is a resemblance. Also, I’ve only seen pictures of his truck, so I can’t speak for it directly, but the pictures are spot-on.

I guess so people don’t file false reports.
