Two of my old cars, relevant because they get lots of hits for "Apple sticker" searches on Flickr. 2005 Lotus Elise & 2001 VW New Beetle in Isotope Green (limited edition).

(Bonus points if you can spot the Apple sticker on my Golf)

Drooling over the lotus. I'm also a big VW fan and love your mods on the golf.

Can't remember if I posted a recent picture of my 3 or not. I was playing around with Plastidip a couple months ago and figured I'd see what my badges would look like in white. I like the outcome. I'm planning on buying a Corksport Power Series exhaust and an Eibach Pro Kit for the car once the winter is over.

Thanks! Here's an earlier shot of the Golf with different wheels.



And another of the Elise.



I've had several Volkswagens and as funny as it is I always compared the Elise to my old supercharged (G60) Rabbits. Clearly very different cars but they brought out the same emotions while driving.

Did you see the new 2014? They have done another emergency refresh.

It's only the coupe that's getting refreshed this time. They are really stepping it up with some major competition coming. The 2014 Corolla and Mazda3 will be giving them a run for their money.

I was under the impression Civics would still sell roughly the same if they decided to sell the Civic with a Fiat Multipla body.

Looked great on the Benz wheels too!

I like the new Corolla! A step in the right direction. Glad Honda is trying to keep up. Kudos to them.

I spent the weekend wearing out my tires and brakes with the Audi club at Buttonwillow. The photographer who works that track must have taken the weekend off.

Hey guys I just got a new car it's a renault megane rs265 trophy + it is similar to these pictures but with half a glass roof. I used to have a hyundai tiburon it was gutless, the veloster design does not cut it for me, so I went for this given it is more powerful. I will post pictures on request.

Now that I'm retired, I'm careful with my money and don't need or want an expensive car. This is why a I got a 2014 Toyota Corolla LE. It's the reliability factor, not performance.

^It's as much fits without ordering a custom Hoosier....(to do so one has to make a minimum order of 50 sets I believe) 24.4 inches max diameter will fit, however no one makes something shorter with wider tread. Running 235/40/17s on 17x8.5s all around. For my BBS RS set, I run 8.5 front and 9s rear on 235s. Tires are shaved down to 7/32 tread left for use, as well as to help with fitment.

As a example, Porsche Caymans come with 235s up front, and I wanted to beat my friend in his Cayman S...which I did ;-) Just be soft and smooth but think ahead!
