Thanks to Al for sending in this picture of his metallic black 2011 BMW 550i with "BMW ROX" vanity plates. The letters and the color of the plate match perfectly with this fine ride. Well done Al!
Happy Friday! The weekend starts NOW! To kick things of right here is an awesome Texas Longhorn Vanity license plate sent in by reader J.A.H. Thank you and Hook Em!
This weekend we here at JoshGoler.com learned that "winning", according to Charlie Sheen, involves having the right car in one's driveway. The following is a Winning Report provided by photographer Javier A. Ortiz... Enjoy!
Where: Texas When: Sunday 3-20-2011 Conditions:The weather was sunny and beautiful. Why: Suns out I'm out. That's what today's about.... Urban exploration of Downtown Dallas. How: I decided to have a "WINNING" Sunday! I really enjoyed seeing American Muscle and Euro Speed paired up side-by-side!
Mr. Ortiz was kind enough to provide pictures of these exotic & luxury cars:
-Blue Audi R8 -Silver Aston Martin Vantage -Black Aston Martin Vantage -Black Chevy Camaro SS -Metallic Green 1971 z28 Chevy Camaro
Often in today's world we are faced with claims that misrepresent the truth. Clothing labels claim that "One Size Fits All", the Shake Weight claims it will turn you into The Hulk without giving you carpel tunnel or making you look like a complete fool, and confused music fans the world over insist that Nickelback is a great band and not what the guy at 7-11 gives you as change for your purchase.
It is for this reason that I am thrilled by the vanity plate sported by this black Hummer H2. It reads "LOW MPG". Considering that the H2 gets maybe 10 miles per gallon, this is probably the most truthful public statement anyone has made. Ever. I commend the owner of this fine SUV for his honesty and encourage him to run for public office. Heck, at least we know he's not afraid to tell it like it is.
Panama City, Panama is a booming metropolis in Central America. It's a hub for international trade and there are massive skyscrapers going up all over the city. Of course, there are exotic cars (including this sizzling Red Nissan GT-R).
A side note: How many times have you had some college kid giddily proclaim to you, "I'm going to "Panama" for Spring Break!" ? You reply, "That's wonderful. Central America is a beautiful part of the world and Panama is a wonderful place to vacation." The college kid then gives you a confused look and, while using a tone that suggests you should brush up on your geography knowledge, says something to the order of, "Huh??? Central America?... What?... Uh, I'm going to Flo-rida. You KNOW Pan-am-a C-i-ty." You then shake your head and simply walk away hoping that the kid will stumble upon Panama City, Panamawhile attempting to use Google Maps on his iPhone to show his buddies the best route for their Spring Break trip.
Here is a peak into the REAL "Panama", i.e. not Panama City, Florida =) Chevere!

Donald Trump is building this tower in Panama City. Notice the tower crane on top.
Look at the colors and the twisting architecture. Truly a beautiful building.
Interesting Fact: The Panamanian currency is the Balboa (It is only made in coins these days. Paper Balboas are not longer printed). Since its creation in 1904, the Balboa has been tied to the US Dollar on a 1 to 1 basis. So, if you're coming from the USA, just bring dollars and spend them, as they are accepted in trade with no problems. In fact, the US Dollar is the paper currency that is used in Panama (since paper Balboas are no longer printed.)
This is what license plates look like in Panama.

Guess who won the drag race between the Red Nissan GTR and the Black Hyundai. Hmm...
Liking cars is ok. Loving cars is ok. What is NOT ok is combining a lack of fashion sense with exotic and luxury car logo clothing (a Ferrari Kangol Cap and a bedazzled Maserati Shirt), an Ed Hardy belt, and Polo shorts so short that John Stockton would refuse to wear them. That is exactly what a man did at a Florida club recently. Behold "Ferrari Maserati Ed Hardy Polo GrandPa":
Now, on to the more visually appealing portion of today's blog post. This Florida driveway is full of WIN. There is a beautiful Silver Aston Martin Vantage, palm trees, and a cobblestone driveway that leads up to a beautiful home. Well done! These pictures should serve as motivation for each of us to keep working hard and smart to reach our goals and drive our dream cars!
Today, I, your fearless blogger, bring you an “Arrest Me Red” 2005 Porsche 911 GT3. This rocket on wheels has ceramic brakes that shave 44 lbs off the weight and it eats tires like nobody’s business. The car has 20,000 miles on it and the owner enjoys taking it out to the track.
No! Lip damage alert! Don't park ON the parking stop!... Why do so many people park this way???
Sick dual exhaust with quad pipes
Notice the yellow brake calipers
This partially debadged Black Mercedes Benz C Class is a good look with its black rims and dark rear tinted windows. However, I consider it a work in progress. The chrome trim around the windows and on the lower doors looks out of place with the black theme. Yank that stuff off... Now! (Maybe, replace it with carbon fiber for a truly amazing look.)
Other than that, this is one sweet sweet entry level luxury car.
