Yesterday, on my way home from work, I saw this Audi RS5 - the dream car of an old friend from school. I always think of him on the rare occasion when I see an RS5:



Saw these exotic and luxury cars this summer as well:


This was hand-made by Viessmann, a small German manufacturer that unfortunately went out of business.






This Royce came to the first wedding I could actually attend. With a price tag of somewhere above 350,000€ this is worth a house.

That Boba Car is awesome. I so need some stickers for my truck. Would love to get a wrap for it like that. I need to remember the name of the guy from the German Garrison who made my chest box lights. Cool dude and very reasonable in price.

Haha that one gave me a good chuckle after I read it twice. I do enjoy playmobil as well and hoped you'd enjoy them. Those life-size figures are a nice marketing gimmick and playmobil sends them to every major retailer. I can share more playmobil images if you like. Here's a massive collection:

Yes, there were vehicles for all kinds of purposes with the latest tech. I'm going to add some more pictures plus text. I had some technical issues last night.

On Saturday night I worked at the airport here in Dresden and it was nice to take a look backstage. There was even a small chillout area in the hangar along with an old police helicopter and an aircraft body, maybe for the firefighters to train with.










I can also recommend these music sequences by the French Navy to relax. They have some very impressive footage of the land and coasts which they guard upon (minute 3 is where my favorite part starts, do yourself a favor and listen to this with headphones):  :D

Thanks for coming by and enjoying the break with me!

If you have 100-120k to spend on a car, you can either spend it on a luxury or a sports car...or on an ultimate off-road survival vehicle!




Classic and Vintage Cars are also quite popular in my neighborhood:

I have seen some really awesome conversion vans. I really like the ones that have a suspension lift and are four wheel drive.

I could so see me getting satellite internet and getting somewhere deep, deep in the woods.

Absolutely, people probably got the wish to be independent even more so since the pandemic. And in times of war here in Europe, those who can afford it, got such vans, campers or survival vehicles. I'd like an A6 Juggernaut myself!
I couldn't pay to get gas in the tank though... ::)

Whenever I go to SmythsToys I stop at this fashion store just to take a look at this beauty of a street cruiser...
