Dave CarspottingThis is INCREDIBLE <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/WeirdCarMastodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> material. This is a JDM Suzuki Jimny with a bodykit that makes it look like a tiny G-Wagen. The detail is astonishing, down to the headlights that have the same horizontal bars as the original. Most astonishingly, this car has a California license plate, which means it was successfully federalized AND titled in California, both notoriously difficult tasks to accomplish. I’m so glad I went out to see this marvel today.<br> <br> (Actual G-Wagen for size)<br> <br> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/cars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/carspotting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carspotting</a>
BellingenNSW<p>April school holiday season in NSW is also koala breeding season.</p><p>Car crash stats from the Northern Rivers:<br>"From May 2023 to May 2024, 71 koalas were hit by vehicles, of which just 13 were rehabilitated and released back to the wild. Unfortunately, 80% of koalas hit by vehicles last year did not survive the impact. Our statistics show that there has been a 15% increase in the number of koalas admitted to our Northern Rivers Koala Hospital as a result of car strikes than the previous year. In a single week in 2023 six koalas died from vehicle strikes and from June to December 2022, Friends of the Koala, were called to 42 car strikes across the Northern Rivers region. This is devastating." </p><p>"Urban environments are stressful and disorienting for koalas.

From the Lady Penelope Annual 1968

At the Racing Drivers’ School Circuit at Brands Hatch they call 22-year-old Janet Rice: “The hairiest racing driver we have here.” “Hairy” in motor racing language means “dare-devilry” - and “hairiest of all” is the reputation Janet has won for herself in just eighteen months of racing at the circuit.

Januar Land Rover suspends shipments to US in April over tariffs.

The British maker of Jaguar and Land Rover cars is pausing shipments to the United States as it works to mitigate the impact of a 25% tax on vehicle imports imposed by the Trump Administration.

The UK luxury car manufacturer said it needed to address 'the new trading terms'.

…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.

Tesla sales plunge in France as more owners resell their cars.

Tesla is losing ground in France. Registrations of new vehicles have dropped 41% since the start of the year, while second-hand listings have shot up.

Experts say model changes, stronger competition and growing unease with CEO Elon Musk are all playing a role.
