you don't see THIS too often!

Traffic was stuck at a stand-still so I slowly approached this having no idea what I was looking at. When I got up beside it I was like, "OHHHHHH"

*click*

OK, I give up.  I still don't know what I'm looking at

That is the front clip of a Freightliner.

BINGO!

Geez, i see them frequently on I 78 near my house. Not always Freightliner, but some kind of truck winds up shedding bodywork at least once a week. Often the load as well, potatoes anyone?

Not just a rebadge, but it shares a chassis and mechanical bits with the Lexus GS.

That's what I was getting at, since the Mark X was never sold in the US I'd venture to guess some one just put a Toyota and Mark X badge on their GS, probably so they could live the JDM life.

Doubt it, the lights and body panels are also different, and this one had all the correct bits for a Mark X.

In reply to GameboyRMH :

You need to emphasize that you are definitely not in the US, or even the north American continent. I see the drive on the left in that photo.

I love old Ramblers.  I want a 58-50 American wagon.

They get a bad rap because of the rollover problems but they are pretty good trucks with time tested ranger bits

Parked next to this yesterday at the commissary on post.

For the past year or so, I worked at a shop that was just up the street from a Porsche dealership.  I've seen... quite a few GT3 RSs.  The exit for the Ohio Turnpike was just up the road in the other direction, and you'd sometimes see some of the more exotic Porschen travelling between here and there, usually with PA or NY plates.

I did try not to laugh too hard when a GT3 or other 911 with a dealer plate stalls in traffic.  I have no idea what the clutch takeup is like, and it's rather poor form to laugh "LOL N00B" when someone is considering a car that is easily worth twice as much as the house in which I currently reside.  For that kind of money you can n00b all you want, it's your clutch you are frying...

I saw this on I 435 in Kansas City this morning. The paint or wrap made my day for some reason.

That's a fantastic wrap....

Wrong Air Force.  It should either be the Luftwaffe or the RAF, quite a contradiction if you think about it!!

I agree, way cool though and I like the wheels too.

Sometimes strange things happen in war...

Those are captured planes.....

If I recollect , those squadorns were originally Eagle squadrons. They were American volunteers to the RAF before the USA got officially involved. In 1942 the Eagle squadrons were transferred to the USAAF along with the spitfire that they flew.
