Tennessee Shite: 10 November 2024 Update!

[High Jetter]

Many windows.

With a visit to TN being pretty much a yearly thing for now it's quite interesting to see the occasional late 80s beater still clinging on to life. With cars generally just seemingly getting run into the ground there's not much that lasts longer than 15 years outside of the many Grand Marquis and the occasional Towncar though from what I can tell. Even pull-a-part was mostly filled with trashed Altimas, bit of a shame really.

Spotted this Landie parked on a street yesterday...

Spotted this crispy Lotus Esprit on a trailer on this morning’s drive to work.

I'd love to hear the story of how this happened!

I’m in Louisville for a few days, touring all the bourbon distilleries.  This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is being used as an advertising prop for the restaurant across the street from my hotel.

Another restaurant in Louisville using cars as an advertisement. Ford Mustang and Pontiac Firebird.

Brusselsprout (sic) pizza?

Maybe?  I’ve seen this car in my neighbourhood a couple of times since taking that photo.  If I ever see the owner, I’ll make sure to ask.

I saw two of these stupid things today…

[somewhatfoolish]

The E-Canyonero is easily the stupidest thing on the road.

[Madman Of The People]

 

Hyundai Elantra saloon, stickered-up and with an absurd looking wing on stilts nailed to the boot.  I thought this silly fad died years ago?

@motorpunk might disagree!

Tragically modified Volkswagen Phaeton Coupe Bentley Continental GT.  I don’t know where to begin…

There’s the ugly aftermarket bumper and the paint isn’t even close to matching the body colour.  Plus stone chips galore, the front valance is cracked, and the headlamp washer covers are unpainted.  Don’t even get me started on those hideous wheels or the chintzy cheese grater grille.

Why do people do this?

Maybe selling meth, taking it usually involves selling everything you have, stealing and selling everything that belongs to anyone you know, then offering to turn tricks for anyone with a dollar.

I wonder how many times he’s been pulled over?

We've seen that guy coming off the I40 in Mt. Juliet a few days ago!

'60 Impala.  Bel Airs didn't have the white reversing lamp between the two red lamps.  Bel Air reversing lamps were under the bumper.
