    My grandma once told me that was how she parallel parked, back slowly into the car behind you, then pull slowly forward into the car in front. “It’s why they’re called bumpers” she said

    I was smarter than my dad so I moved in with mom's parents, my grandpa and grandma. Grandma said she needed my help because of grandpa's stroke. It was really because she was worried I'd get in trouble living with my best friend. That's when guys living together was different!
    Up till then I had never seen grandma drive or knew she had a license. My '49 Dodge broke down not far from home. I got a ride to work next day. Got back to grandma's house and my 1949 Dodge was in the driveway! My uncle took grandma down and got it! Some of those grandma's were sneaky!
    Oh, by the time I got out of highschool, my dad got smarter too!

    I was sort of enamored with those little Simcas when they first came out. They were imported to the U.S. and sold here by Chrysler Corp. dealers for a short while.

    The U.S. got them mostly as a 5-door hatchback, but there were other body styles elsewhere, like this 5-door wagon:

    And this cute 3-door wagon:

    Ya know I thought the same thing about the white one. A Chrysler something? I would assume they’re the same make but maybe not

    The silver one is a Dodge-Plymouth-Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion. The white one looks to be a 1989 or so Dodge Daytona Shelby, both cars most likely turbo cars.

    That's an awesome find, and cool cars to have together. It's a shame if those are at apartments and they are stored outside, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Hey I would bet the same person probably owns them both. Nice sleuthery there Grizz! I knew the Daytona. But wasn’t sure of the Mitsubishi model name.

    They are cool cars!! It’s a house and they usually have a cover. I’ve never seen the person who owns them but they do move around from time to time.

    As soon as I saw the white one I knew it was a Daytona. When I was a kid I thought they looked so much like the porsche 928 I would sometimes think they were a much "cooler" car than they actually where. :LOL:
    The silver, transformer's looking car is definitely jdm. I agree with hotrod, I think it's a mitsubitchy. There is one that looks just like it that runs around town here in the summer. I've never examined it that closely though, so I can't say for sure.

    What a coincidence! 3937BDD7-EE76-4610-8FAE-4FE27609E3CA.jpeg think it has a turbo or what? (Look at the seat belt) 660F0AFB-2465-4BFD-966C-D891A55EACA6.jpeg A2F4D3B1-EB48-403E-AA0B-097A50A73A8F.jpeg
