“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” errr nope that’’s not it. Let me try again.
Way back on Dec 21, 2008 , I published a blog called Camo Car Test Fleet Spotted which describes my short but memorable encounter with a test car covered with a crazy sticker pattern and some fabric sheets intended to camouflage the interesting bits. Fast forward to 2010 with a new president handing out universal health care, its about time I follow up on my predictions to please my demanding yet loyal fan base.
Item #1 – The tip I submitted to my favorite car porn site, Autoblog, was never pick up. Boo!!! No matter, as their parent company AOL, Inc just dropped a load of cash in 2009 and the outlook is not so hot for 2010. Face.
Part B – The spied car is not a BMW or even from that little industrious country called South Korean; turns out its actually a Buick Lacross. Yeah I know, how can I call myself a car guy and confuse an American car with a German? Apparently it happens.
Number C – That LaCross (shudders) does not have any cutting edge technology like vertical take off or a hybrid engine. Under the bonnet lies a lazy American V6 or a pathetic Inline 4. Weak.
Looking back on the experience like an old man on his death bed, I completely blew my one chance in going rogue to be a professional car spy photographer dude. Bummer.
