Happy thanksgiving everyone! May we all stuff our faces full of food. Anyways, I am visiting family, and we passed though Chicago on our way. As I've said before, and those of you in Chicago probably know, Chicago is rich in cars. I won't go into a full list like last time, but during our 2-hour (traffic was a NIGHTMARE) stay, the most honorable mentions were as follows:


3 Bently Continental GTs (2 convertibles, 1 hardtop)

1 Porsche Carrera GT

1 1960's Rolls Royce Silver Cloud

3 '08 Dodge Challenger SRT8s (none were the Hemi Orange!)

1 Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren

And as with last time, MORE TRAFFIC JAMS!


On the way, I also saw a semi with 3 humvees on it and another semi with some cloaked Audi concepts.photo from niagraspiritlimo.com

I changed the name of the blog and altered the description as an experiment to see if I can get any higher up on google. This is called search engine optimization. This may not work because blogspot has preset templates that don't include a metatitle or decription for the serch engines. This holds me back, so maybe my only way forward is just getting more views.

On a different note (sorry if I was boring you), the photo of the 411 vw brochure got cut off. So I deleted it and got a better photo from members.tripod.com:

Okay, the results are in, and many of you were very close, though nobody was right. This mystery car is actually a Volkswagen 411, which was produced from 1969-1972. This one is not a '69, as those had single headlights, but other than that, I'd need a look at the interior. The 411 was part of the type 4 VWs, which were produced from '69-'74. These were offered as sedans (2/4 drs.) and, starting in 1970, wagons, too. The photo is from thesamba.com, info from type4.org.

I was watching an auto auction on ESPN2 and there was a Mustang Boss 429 being sold at Barret-Jackson (at least I think it was Barret-Jackson). Under
the car, some little fun facts about it were scrolling past digitally, and I was extremely surprised to see that the engines for the car were built by Kar Kraft in my old home of Brighton, Michigan! Anyone else know any major automotive things in their area? Photo from topspeed.com

1/10/09: Brighton just passed a new law that makes it illegal to offend anyone in public(It was on the national news)

I was looking around in this guy's barn/garage, which has millions of used parts and engines, when there to look at at a project he was selling, when I spotted this odd car wedged in under many parts. I inquired, and the guy who owned the garage told me all about it. I was going to tell you... but what's the fun in that! I'm going to have you guess, so here's two of the photos. Please put your guesses in comments.











You think it's a wagon? Well, think again!
Remember to submit your guess!
