My 'Hood

[patrikman]

Thanks for viewing, and thanks to all the others posting cool rides from their 'hoods.
I really like that red Porsche that Alex posted up top (sorry, I suck at Porsche model numbers), and every time I see a car on the Beeks lot, I get crazy ideas for new projects.

Love the thread and it was the inspiration for my own:

You caught some of sweet toof's work! Pretty neat idea with that rear window area too

....Beautiful. Just beautiful.

I didn't know about Sweet Toof until I watched Exit Through The Gift Shop a few weeks ago. I need to pay more attention to my street artists. Seen some Fairey, Space Invader, Iz The Wiz and some local NYC writers. And Sweet Toof, of course.

I always find it interesting that 99% of NYC looks like the ghetto... straight hood, yet you see $100,000+ cars on a regular basis.

[Tokyosmash]

Was this in NoVa? I think ive seen that on the highway

I could swear I saw that Corolla in Tysons corner not too long ago

IIRC the Camo Corolla has PA plates, so it's possible.

[slirt]

Thought I'd share one of my favorite blogs: http://www.oldparkedcars.com/

Might be the fact that it's in Oregon, but I love looking at street scenes that remind me of my childhood.

wow, thanks for the link; what a GREAT blog

those pages are L O N G , and go on for D A Y S... what a time-suck that's gonna be
and as an ex-PDXer (16-yrs) i recognize a lot of the locales.

Black MKV with smaller-not-baller aftermarket silver multi-spoke wheels? If that's yours I see it all the time and think "That guy knows what's up." I'll grab a picture one of these days.

I also need to get a shot of the two Fahrenheit GTI's that park in front of the same condo by McCarren park.

My 'Hood: Boardwalk Empire Edition
They built the whole Atlantic City boardwalk set on the other side of my neighborhood, but tonight they were filming at the local park on my block. I brought the real camera out this time.

[shadow2132]

nice pics man, saw them earlier in the day and only got a couple snaps with the iphone

[MrMook]

[LA7VJetta]

94-96 Impala SS and the VW Doka are cool

[C4 A6]

This thread is AMAZING.

[oempls]

That's one hell of a colorful neighborhood. You have vehicles from all over the world and different eras of the last century.

[Seabird]

[JacksSenseOfRejection]

I see these all the time. We must live in the same 'Hood. I live off the Graham L.

[JacksSenseOfRejection]

I also see this a lot!



And it's for sale, asking price $12k

Yeah, I'm near McGolrick park/Nassau Ave. Haven't seen that Bronco yet, but it looks rad. Not sure if it's $12K rad, but still awesome.

Speaking of awesome, Seabird, that Porsche is mean looking.

[CK98Beeetle]

Very cool. I live on Graham and Meeker. Saw these two cars the other day.




first one i've ever seen in person:



I LOVE the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area.

We need to start a Williamsburg Vortex car club! We should all grab some beers, and go watch F1 or just talk cars at a bar in the area. Seems to be plenty of us in the area!

EDIT again! 2000 POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sporin]

In that very first pic, the Toyota, doesn't it look like the body should be moved about 4" forward?

Dibs on that Forester, especially if it's the no-longer-sold manual.

Probably been answered already but in case it hasn't... this is done by turning the leaf springs around front to back, which moves the offset location point forward, extending your wheelbase. Very common with the old rigs.

oh wow! I wondered what this was:



And the fake snow in the air one morning. That would explain a lot then.

I guess i need to start taking pictures of more autos in the area, i see so many cool ones.

You mean, without internets?

Did not know that

Yeah, they do a ton of filming for BWE, and other shows. The entire Atlantic City boardwalk set is at the end of Franklin Ave in Greenpoint, behind all those stacked up shipping containers.

Here are some more from last week:

could you imagine?!?!

There's usually some cool cars on Graham Ave. Since it's getting warmer, i'll have to go out and take some pics this week.

[DTMTrini]

I loved all of the different cars and buildings.

Love the thread Mr Mooks. I've seen a few of those cars posted before....haven't been to BK in a while though. The cars and especially the buildings [and tucked away relics of the past like old trainstations *City Hall *] are definitely two of some of the main reasons I love this city. I used to take tons of pics of interesting cars, but that's all gone.

Nice. I still haven't seen an NSX in person. That reminds me though, I saw a black Ferrari 412 zip by me the other day, but I wasn't able to get a picture.
