It’s got more openings in it than the Bismarck…

You been saving that one up for a while haven't you!!
I kind of read that as "they can have any brightness topology whatsoever so long as they meet minimum photometric power and minimum total area as shown in Figure 10". Nothing in there about *not* putting Denali in a corner of Kansas.
Is anybody able to grab this unicorn that popped up in TX for $12,000? I wish I could.
G37 is a four-door 370Z, 328 HP, RWD and it has a hard-to-find six-speed. If the listing description is accurate, this is a great price. 127K miles is nothing, as these go to 200K pretty easily with routine maintenance. Nice to see the clutch was done. The only issue is the oil galley gasket will probably go bad at some point, and it's something like a $2500 fix, not catastrophic, just a lot of labor to replace the gasket. Infiniti fixed the issue sometime in 2012, so a late 2012 or 2013 would be better.

Typical Greg customer with an insane collection of exotics and rare euro imports texting me tonight at 9:30pm on a Friday asking “when I could detail his new toys”.
Porsche GT2 and 1984 911 Rothmans race car with Rally history in Japan!
And below is his GT3 RS which is an okay car too….

Asked if it was street legal and just got a “I’m putting plates on it” haha
Yes, a rally car should be street legal. Looks like an early 80s group 4 car. Was it the real deal or one off the promotional look alikes?
Sounds like it was actually raced, so the real deal.
I’m assuming it has no cats and a loud exhaust so wouldn’t pass any emissions tests(which we no longer have here in Ontario) but he’s hoping to not get pulled for a loud, stinky car.
This 1988 euro spec(no cats) M6 that I detailed last year is his as well and had the dash and climate controls labelling in German.
Also in his collection-late 50’s Jag Mark 1 3.4 Litre

We have some funky rules around street legal. Being 25 years old makes it easier..
But then 25 years ago you also had Lada dealerships... there is a vague notion of balance here
(notice I'm not even mentioning the domestic trike industry),
Was at Porsche of London’s “Cars and Coffee” today and hundreds of amazing cars there! Lots of exotics and rare cars.
My customer brought out that 1984 911 Rally car and it’s definitely loud!
He also has his manual transmission Ceyenne S Transsyberia there which is one of 3 brought into North America. The GT 3 RS is the same colour combo as his but this is someone else’s.
Twin Turbo C8 Vette
1st and 2nd Gen Ford GT inside
Gullwing Mercedes
My Mini JCW surrounded bycustomers cars-911 Turbo, GT3 and the edge of an older 911 Turbo
Taycan 4 Cross Turismo

You know, it would be kinda cool for him to do a dark light-pattern video of those rally lights, if he's willing.

Makes you wonder if there is a shortage of stick-trained valets, let alone using-wing-mirrors-to-reverse-trained valets.
I guarantee backing up an automatic C8 with roof mounted camera as your rear view mirror is WAY easier than backing up a older Lambo Diablo. Have to open the drivers gull wing door and hang out looking backwards while navigating the very tight 3 pedals.
Do not recommend! Lol

Should be doing the GT2 in the coming weeks and will see if that car is also at that location as I might be detailing at his work.
MORE PICS!!!! Was this a work event for you?
No, just the Local Porsche dealer putting on a monthly free car show. Coffee and treats even provided.
I have done work for the dealership in the past and some staff that own nice cars I’ve also detailed but usually detail them at their homes.
Another high end service place that does lots of exotics used to host a similar event just outside of town before Covid. Was shut down with all the 100mph fly byes and burnouts while leaving the place. Haha
At any event like this, I find I’ll meet many customers who will bring one of their cars out to the event. The Porsches parked beside me each have about 7-8 toys in their garage that I work on.
