You will probably see more of these articles, especially if you guys enjoy them, simply because I often run into very interesting cars that I know others would like to see aswell. Shout out to Oscar for the help on the LS400!
What is that, a griffin?!
I don't know much about this one except that the Toyota Soarer is obviously imported and I was blown away by the mileage. I'm sorry if I get it wrong, Oscar, but I think the owner (Oscar) said 48k miles. It's just beautiful. To me this is art. I should know - there's an artist in my family that agrees.
Not lying.
The other car is a beautiful and obviously very well maintained Volkswagen Beetle. An old one. I wouldn't post a new one. Did you know they have a flower holders? Yes the new Beetles have a flower holder. To put your frickin rose in. And a little water? Man screw that car. Can I grow something in it?
The pictures. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'm counting each picture as.... A thousand words. Enjoy
That's three thousand because now that I think about it, I only took three good shots! One reason being the fact that it is TINTED for sure and also you can't see through the windshield. Just don't look. You probably want to steal it. Go away.
Edit: Oscar kindly contacted me to tell me that the tint is no tint... It's tempered glass. I didn't even realize that existed. He also sent me a couple interior pics! Enjoy.
If you're a car enthusiast at all, you will appreciate this car at the very least. It's totally JDM. Did I mention it's imported? Jokes aside, this is a very interesting car and a kind of status symbol. It's right-hand drive, I assume, but as I said... You can't see inside. For what it costs - and I'm not gonna mention that - compared to an SC300, it SHOULD be a status symbol. To Oscar, it's only his dream car (only).
This particular Soarer has the 1UZFE engine and I love that! Everybody wants the 2.2 V6 Supra engine but forget that, put the big V8 from a huge (for the time) sedan into a coupe and let's ride.
See the LS400 in the background? Same engine. I think we bonded, me and Oscar, on some weird primal level. The cars are both white, too!
The Beetle, on the other hand, had so many details that I do have a bunch of pictures for this one. This is one of the better looking Beetles I've seen. There's a lot of them driving around nowadays which is great. That's also why this isn't the best one I've seen - simply cause I've seen so many good ones. It's up there, though, so enjoy Volkswagen people, or air-cooled people, or just people...
It's definitely an iconic car. Very recognizable. That's probably because it's the most mass-produced car in the world. There's been something like more than 60 million cars built. That's 60,000,000 Beetles.
So who designed it and why is it so popular? Also, why are my photography skills so bad? Hitler designed it in Nazi-era Germany. Okay, not Hitler himself but he ordered two car companies to be started: Volkswagen - folk's wagon, the people's car, and Mercedes - the upper class mobile.
The designers set out to build a somewhat-reliable car that is also cheap and boy did they succeed in that. The Bug was a hit because of its simple air-cooled engine and simple design. A mechanic with little experience can rebuild one of these motors and I believe that is why these cars are so prevalent. You don't see as much of any other classic car on the road for a reason.
I've wanted one since I was about eight but that's probably not gonna happen soon. I got a very complex car to deal with...
These cars are timeless, graceful, and will be around when the world ends and only cockaroaches survive. Then they will evolve to rebuild VW engines.
Although I do enjoy this style of Beetle because after all, that's basically what it was built for. To go to the beach. But I would just like to say I prefer the ones with very wide tires in the back... Know what I mean? That sound...
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you like this type of article and if not, which do you prefer?
