Ford T-Bucket front (Based on Model T from 1915-1927)


This was at the Casino Royale in Las Vegas and it says you can win it from playing their penny slots. T-Buckets normally have large V8 engines and today are used mostly for show purposes. It is probably still there, so if you're headed to the Vegas area, you should check it out. One more thing, the gate makes it hard to see most of the car, so sorry about that.

Pontiac G8 rear seven-eighths (2008-2009)

  • a.k.a. Holden Commodore in Australia
  • 3.6L V6, 6.0L V8, 6.2L LS3 V8
  • 256-415 hp
  • RWD
  • 5-spd auto, 6-spd auto, 6-spd man.
As you can see, this was in Vegas since the Mirage casino is in the background. I like this car, but its successor, the Chevy SS, is guaranteed to be better in my opinion.

I saw this 280Z leaving Barstow and heading to Vegas. Also, I was unable to get the whole car in the picture both times.

  • 5.4L V8
  • 300 hp
  • 365 lb-ft of torque
The information above is only for a stock F-250 Super Duty. This one was probably modified to produce more horsepower and more torque than stock. It is also ready to conquer the desert terrain.

Ford F-150 Raptor & Jeep Wrangler Unlimited rear


Also, if there are any cars in particular you want to see on here, please tell me in the comments section below.

Ford F-150 Raptor & Jeep Wrangler Unlimited front


These were leaving the same gas station that the RS5 and M3 were at. The Jeep Wrangler and Ford F-150 Raptor are two ideal machines for off-roading in the desert because they can handle any terrain.

BMW M3 E92 front seven-eighths


If you're curious, I saw this at a gas station in Baker, a small desert town in California. It was on my way from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

BMW M3 E92 Interior


Once again, this is the best picture I have of the interior, sorry if it's hard to see.

I'm not a very big fan of BMWs, but I like the M3 along with the M5, M6, and M1, just saying.

  • 414 hp
  • 6 spd man., 7-spd DCT

This is the best shot I could get of the interior. Sorry if you can't see it very well.

I saw this at a gas station in Barstow when I was getting gas at another station nearby, if you're wondering. There were also lots of off-roaders there for racing in the desert.

I have always been a fan of the Corvette ever since the day I was born. My favorite generation is the C6 and I always prefer coupe over roadster.
