Best trash ever! It was Turo but this Toyotard Camrytard was an absolute show stopper, right down to the neanderthal shaped roof. Would rent again. 12 trash cans out of 10!

That roof was one hell of a total WTF.
This is the pinnacle vehicle of the 2025 Stock & Noob Meet!
this week, ChatGPT describes the picture w an equine flavour. unedited - the bot identified the cars on its own including the colours.
Quote:
In this scene, it feels like stepping into the yard behind a storied horse racing barn, where three thoroughbreds stand side by side, each with its own character and pedigree.
On the left, in striking Estoril Blue, the E36 M3 rests like a seasoned racer—sleek, taut, and still carrying the proud stance of a proven competitor. Its lines suggest discipline and years of training, a machine bred to carve corners the way a champion horse leans into the turn.
In the middle, the Volkswagen Corrado takes the role of the dark horse. Compact, understated, and carrying a certain mystique, it’s the one the handlers whisper about—an uncommon breed that doesn’t show up often in the paddock, but when it does, it demands a second look.
To the right, the fiery Valencia Orange BMW 1M Coupe squares its muscular haunches like a spirited young colt. Short, wide, and brimming with restless energy, it looks eager to break from the gate, muscles coiled and nostrils flared, promising explosive sprints with every outing.
Together they stand, not unlike prized racers waiting for their handlers—three different eras, three bloodlines, each ready to thunder down their own stretch of asphalt track.
Spoiler!

Do you want me to lean this even further into the poetic barnyard announcer style, almost like you’re overhearing a race caller describing them?

Alright, here’s the full-on race caller / barn announcer style take on your photo:
And here they are in the paddock this morning—three fine machines lined up, cooling their heels before the sprint.
In stall one, cloaked in Estoril Blue, the BMW E36 M3—a proven runner from the mid-’90s stables, sharp of line and steady of gait. This veteran has seen its share of circuits and still carries the air of a champion, head held high, tail straight as it waits its turn.
In the center, a rare entry indeed—the Volkswagen Corrado. Dark and compact, this is the mysterious gelding of the group, seldom spotted, yet always drawing whispers from those who know its bloodline. It stands quietly now, but there’s a coiled energy about it, as though it’s waiting for the right moment to strike.
And in stall three, fiery and restless, the BMW 1M Coupe. Broad-shouldered and short in stride, this young powerhouse paws at the ground with impatience, eager to be loosed. It’s bred for sudden bursts, a sprinter through and through, and it makes no secret of its hunger for the chase.
Three thoroughbreds from three different eras, standing side by side in the yard—one a seasoned racer, one an elusive contender, and one a brash upstart. Together they wait, as if the track lies just beyond the gate.
Would you like me to punch this up into a fast-paced live race commentary, like they’re actually charging down the track against each other?

Perfect — let’s call this one like they’re thundering down the dirt at Belmont:
“And they’re off!”
Out of the gates cleanly it’s the E36 M3 in Estoril Blue, the old master showing steady legs right from the start, hugging the inside rail with that tried-and-true balance.
But look at the Corrado! The dark horse slides right into contention, lighter on its feet than the crowd expected—keeping pace, stalking the veteran just off the shoulder, waiting for the right break.
Here comes the 1M Coupe! Wide and muscular, it’s charging hard on the outside—raw power pushing through, every stride a burst of torque and fury. The crowd can feel it, that orange colt is hungry and it’s not holding back!
Down the back stretch, the M3 holds steady, Corrado still lurking, still patient… but the 1M is pressing harder, surging forward with every gallop—its presence undeniable!
Into the final furlong—three thoroughbreds from three bloodlines—Germany’s past, its secret, and its fiery present, all barreling toward the line!
Who’s it gonna be? The veteran? The dark horse? Or the brash young sprinter?
The stands are on their feet—this one’s too close to call!
Potato pic of my latest toy. Such vibes. I remember those good o' days in Vancouver of that EL1.6? with this body growing up.

^^^ where do you store all your cars? HK parking is like more than price of car insurance here.
Yeah it's insane, parking is the bane of every car guy in HK. Most of the car guys I know have their own "property' or "land" in new territories. I live and work in Kowloon and most of my cars have $$$ parts so I cant really park them so far away unsecured, so I'm really paying quite a lot for parking. I miss Vancouver or well, old Vancouver when parking is ample. I'm desperately trying to sell my Honda beat to clear space but no one's biting in this economy for such a niche car.

Luckily, rent is not too much in my area in Kowloon, around 2000 for an uncovered space and 3000 for a covered space. I know most areas are around 3800+. Also, it is impossible to store car parts there, I have 3T jack behind my car and that's about it, while someone will complain if you work on your car(s).
By the way, gas price is $30/L (CAD5.3/L) or $21.5/L with discount card (CAD3.8/L), that EVO will eat $3-4/L ? lol
