Various Off Topic Sightings........

Was up in Santa Barbara a couple of weeks ago and saw this gorgeous BMW 740e. Looks like they will give you most any color with their “Individual” program.

Yesterday, near my home, I found this horrible, IMO, G550 4x4. Since the new G Wagens have come out, there are seemingly hundreds of the previous models popping up on used car lots. This small, used car dealer had this and another 4x4, along with four or more non-4x4 G Series. I believe this is mainly due to the fact that most G Class owners, IMO, have these things as fashion accessories and want the latest model to impress the neighbors.

Lastly, I just found the most outrageous wheels I have ever seen, just released by HRE. They are 3D Printed. Can you imagine cleaning these things? Had to check & see if it was an April Fool joke! It’s not!








No joke:

Yep. Those are some hideous sightings, especially those wheels. They look like one of those games where you have to figure out how to untangle the bent metal rods. You can't un-see some of these things.
