Yes, that is indeed a W12 Audi A8 moving under its own power. I didn’t know such things still existed but here one is in its natural habitat, passing cars in the left lane of the interstate while being tailed by a Nissan Rogue.

I think this one has some sort of custom wheels going on with some camber. I don’t like how the chrome clashes with the otherwise understated exterior but otherwise I may not have noticed it .

Woah, d éjà vu.

Suspiciously clean Infiniti Q45 is suspiciously clean. Really makes you wonder where Infiniti lost its soul.

It is a post facelift model with the more convention grille though.

Oh, and bro truck is much bro. Look at how it towers over the Jeep behind it!

What the heck is that blue wagon? It looks like a Subaru Outback but not a Subaru Outback.

Widebody Charger seent and I like it. Note the Lexus IS300cross in the distance.

Oh, and I voted for the first time! So many races I know nothing about at all. Apparently they rang the first-time voter bell but I didn’t notice.

The blue wagon is a Suzuki Esteem

Yup, as Zoidberg mentioned, Suzuki Esteem, apparently missing a side window - probably unobtanium now. Dorky name for a car.

I remember my first presidential election, Clinton’s 2nd term.

Why is this a thing that appears to be in actually good condition minus the window? Paint was even pretty good looking from the glimpse I saw. Never even knew these existed.

And right you appear to be, though why one still exists I have no idea. Long live the long roofs! Even if they are a crappy two decade old Suzuki.

Well the name doesn’t guarantee it will be held in good esteem.

This is an election I will remember but not for good reasons. Did not enjoy having to choose between those two names on the ballot. Wish there was a redraw option.

I recall some jokes about self-esteem at the time, too. Inoffensive and likely relatively reliable car, dumb name.

Yeah, this is definitely a douche/turd sandwich choice. Still, some of us want to derail the most corrupt regime in history ;)

We have a customer at work who has a dark blue one. They apparently liked it enough to replace the broken front sub frame (unobtainium)(big labor dollars).

When my parents replaced the front subframe on their base model FWD Volvo XC90 even after it was worth not much money at all, I was surprised. That was one time it really helped to have someone who knows those cars inside and out. Can’t imagine trying to find someone who knows what they are doing with an obscure Suzuki. Can’t for the life of me understand how you found one at all to replace it with.

And then later the XC90 got a new engine so the front had to come apart again. And later it got a new turbo so once again major disassembly. There is a point where you have so much money in a car worth not a lot you have to keep it. Because a new used engine may be peace of mind to you but a major red flag to a buyer.

I actually couldn't find a subframe, the customer found it.

It's impressive they were able to find one at all.
