Early G50 style Belt-Buckle hood emblem on F50.



Nice!

I'm feelin it...

Does anyone else think that the curvature of the back of the F50 in this pic looks mighty similar to that of a Lexus GS300?

First thing I thought of when I looked there...

Hmmm. Other than the pavement kissing, those are quite distinctive.

Really, they are both ashphalt scraaapers. Makes me cringe.

I've never been a fan of the buckle, but it looks better on the F50.

The Cima up top looks hot, and I'm sure you could drive that height with no problem. The GS is a Junction Produce USA car, it's on air suspension, and yet again, it's not driven at that height. It's parked, dumped and photographed like that.

Dumped is a good word for that car's suspension attitude.

As I said, it's only for photographs. Ever seen a Low Rider or a hot rod magazine? They always have cars that are "dumped" in there, and no, no-one drives them like that. That's the "beauty" of a hydraulic or air suspension I guess, although it does nothing for me. Sure, I think *some* of the pictures are cool, but I prefer the way they look at a "useable" height 90% of the time.

On the VIP site, a member posted his GS with his new air susp. and showed "driving" height and "dumped". I said, "I like the driving height shot best" and another member chided me with "pfsh, you would "

I mean, really, who would want to drive these super hightech door stops? Aren't they just for the driveway, parking lot, show stands?

Love the Cima up top... Wow.

Unfortunately, there's another $10K to get it to look that way...

[Q45tech]

Consider the new Audi could be just their version of a GIANT BUCKLE at least our Q version can fit on a real leather belt.

^ LOL - so true...
