You guys last night I was looking at a 2015 Roush and when you open the doors the lights come on like many do however it shined or luminated a horse right next to the door, unreal. I'm going to check you tube on this to see if you know what I'm talking about.

I have found "Puddle Lights" on many high end cars that project their logo, I know Lincolns have them. My 2008 Fusion SEL has them, but it is a plain light beam.

Had a friend with a blue vert 2013(?) Roush Mustang. He sold it earlier this year though for a more family friendly vehicle as kid #2 was on the way.

Not all states require front plates so you can have novelty and foreign front plates.
Yep that's it. In KY we don't require front plates. But my fiancee is British and got me the license plate. I like having it on there, no other real reason than that haha.

I like that gas cap.

Posted Image

Is it this piece? If so it looks better on an SN-95 than a Tiburon. If I recall correctly the Eclipse came with a very similar gas cap around the same period - circa the early '00s.
I ordered this fuel door from Ford, actually 2001 Bullitt Mustang along with the billet aluminum shifter bezel. I agree it is very similar. There is a galloping pony logo embossed om the inside of the fuel door.
I've always liked the look of those doors. If I decide to keep my EL/bore-door long-term, or if I find an Integra worth fixing up I'll be making a few trips to the wreckers to try to come up with one of those.

Nebraska is one of the few states where you can put on the original plate if vehicle is over 30 years old
you just gotta mail the plates to Lincoln to get them official
what they will do is put on a sticker with HISTORICAL on the original plates

Nebraska is a 2 state plate too

I remember in the 80s seeing 4-6 plates on semi trucks from different states
Don't think thats required now

I always get a kick out of these threads for some reason, showing off everyone's 1:1's.

Here is mine. Can't find any pictures of my wife's Impala.

1999 Buick Regal GS. Bought a month ago yesterday after my 2000 Regal GS finally bit the dust just shy of 200k. Wasn't worth the investment to continue, and I bought this '99 for less than it would've taken to get the '00 back up to snuff! 141k miles. I haven't taken any pictures of it since I haven't had time (or the weather) to detail it. Only pictures I could find were from the previous owner

Posted Image

My 2000 about a month before the transmission took a dump

Considering your nickname, I was sure you had a '94 Lumina :)

A Regal is one of those cars that are most likely very ordinary in the States but exotic to me because they have not been available here and becayse they are everyday cars, there is no information on them in local medias.

You are correct sir! A 94 Lumina was my first car :wub:

I loved that car



Regals are very boring here, even the supercharged GS models like mine. They are getting less and less common because they rust out pretty bad in places where snow/salt hit.

I just like the everyday cars, especially something that is "exotic" for us like that generation Lumina that was never sold here. The Corsica and Beretta of the same era and next generation Lumina were available here too as well as the Lumina APV as Pontiac Trans Sport.

On that pictured example, I especially like how the red/black moldings and tinted headlights go together with the color of the car. I don't know why that Lumina trim level was called Eurosport, it was never sold in Europe. Probably tried to compete with European imports in the US?

In general, car market in USA is VERY different than here - everyone knows the Mustangs and Corvettes, but I have interest in the cars from the States that no one here has ever heard of.

No worries, trust me...taking that car to shows I heard a lot worse

I remember in the 80s seeing 4-6 plates on semi trucks from different states
Don't think thats required now
Last I drove about 20 years ago, the only "other" state that still required a plate was Oregon, so any trucks that went out that way ended up with two plates...home state and Oregon. All the other states had "bingo stickers" that went on a special board on the side of the truck, so depending how many states (and Provinces) you went, is how much of your Bingo card was full. I had stickers for 45 of the remaining states plus plates for my home state and Oregon, and 3 Provinces of Canada on my truck. ;)

Kept trying to get a load to Hawaii, but dispatch wouldn't listen. Kept telling them I could put a little extra air in my tires and float across...
