Is this a good photoshop swap? Or a 2nd photo from a good photographer? It's a photoshopped VW over the Stang
0 comments Posted by st at 8:13 PMAJ scoped it out, and noticed that the bug is not completely hiding the Mustang's front fender
Same exact setting as the bottom photo, and the Mustang is smaller than the VW so it's possible that the vw is photoshopped over the stang

there is integral coolness in VW's... but it takes some work to make it show

Ever wonder how safe the roads are when old people can't see over the steering wheel? How safe can they drive when looking between the spokes?

maybe these are just some new "thing" like the "Obey" photos of Andre the giant that were put up everywhere around San Diego

Chris http://chrisoncars.com/ knew exactly what this was
Hi Jesse,
The mystery car on your blog is a ’39 Matford. The Matfords were a joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford. They came with either V-8/60 or V-8/85 power. I think this one would’ve been a 60 car. There are photos of other Mathis cars that have a more ornate grille. Those probably got the 85s. How I know this shit, I have no idea.
Regards,
Chris
‘39

The tires and rims display area at SEMA, the stuff that captured my attention

The news isn’t related to a new BMW, a new technology or anything similarly relevant to petrolheads. It’s related somewhat more to the detective novel types.
The Germans arrested a Munich worker which is suspected of theft. The thing is, it’s not the minor stuff like a couple of bolts missing.
BMW report that the arrested man may be behind a trafficking scheme involving an employee at a car-parts supplier. The counterpart was also arrested by the Munich police.
So, at the end of the day, what was he arrested for?
Well, apparently, the BMW worker may have caused losses of about 3 million euros to the company. That’s about 4 million dollars in stolen BMW parts.
The parts favored by the two were the seats that BMW fits to their cars but that hasn’t stopped them from helping themselves to other types of fittings.
I should state that the BMW worker and his “friend” haven’t yet been convicted but the evidence is building up against them since October. Police findings speak that along side the two who were arrested another 15 people may be involved in this BMW part stealing affair.
