I tone photos for the local newspaper, and this one about the current drought in New Mexico caught my eye. Isn't that a G in the background? This is off the Associated Press, and is running in our paper tomorrow. :)

Good girl! P10 :flash:

Hey Boingo82 and saturntangerine, could it be possible that pic may be a 3 series bimmer? ( Yep, the competition ). Looks like left rear bumper side has tail pipe opening, isn't p10's tail pipe on right side?:)

That's why I asked: it looks like the tailpipe's on the wrong side, and it looks like the taillights have red on the bottom instead of the top. But it sure looks p10-ish.

Yeah...the exhaust is on the wrong side

I think that it is a Volvo 850

Sadly, the pic quality sucks on my iMac so I can't even make out where the exhaust is :o

For as good a pic as I can see (which is apparantly really really bad) I'm just not going to open my mouth anymore...

Yeah right...we beleive that!!

:finger: :finger: :finger: ..j/k

volvo 850....

I can tell you that the car is not a P10, the amber is on the top on the P10s, that one has it at the bottom. Its not a P11, beacause P11s never had unpainted bumper parts, its also not a 3 series because 3 series did not have a 3rd brake light in the deck lid.

Kind of hard to tell if third brake light is coming from deck lid or seems like it is a spoiler. Tail lights are angled similar to early-mid 90's 3 series bmw and they also had black stripe across. Then again.....does resemble Volvo S40. That's what they're called in Canada at least.
I know pic is not reversed, writing on board would be backwards.:rolleyes:

*sits down at PC and logs into AF*

Oh yeah!!! There is a tail pipe on that thing!!!!!!!! And, yes, yes I do believe it is on the wrong side to be a P10. Excuse my ignorance (for having a macintosh) :o

I dont think its a 850 because they have there turn signal inbetween the two red stop lights where as that signal appears to be at the very bottom.

IMO...BMW

Are there BMWs with unpainted bumper tops?

I guess the all do. Nevermind...I'm kind of brian-dead today.

So I think it is a White E36 with Factory Spoiler

Brain not brian. uggh, I'm going to bed. Hopefully tomarrow will be better.

That's a Volvo, no doubt.

Speaking of similar taillights, I wonder if I can somehow fit the Saab 9-5 taillights onto my P10. They have a very similar shape, but the top is clear insted of yellow...:D

Looks like a Volvo to me but...

i agree thats the first think i thought when i saw it i dint even t hink p10

OK, well with the non-focus and all it looked P10ish. A day or two ago I actually SAW one of these "Volvos" and I have to agree that is what it is.
