Theres always a first time. That car and bike blogs post porn among the cars is nothing new. But the site I got these from, posts gay porn. So beware
It's quite common that the Tumblr sites I find good bike and car photos on have naked women, but this is the first with naked men that I've come across.
I've got no issue with that, but wanted you to be warned because it's more than nude male models, it's guys having sex with guys as well. Some people find that really too much.
it's full of VW and Citroens primarily, with a smattering of race cars, muscle cars, and here is a sample of some of the cool cars on http://scrivmaggporn.blogspot.com/
Just about everything looks better in the Gulf racing colors
Can't figure out why the car was rusted, and fitted with custom opening doors
I'm surprised to see this Porsche in such bad condition, they were always in high demand
Above is the "Mercedes Bent" that i've photogrphed and posted a couple of times already
This is one a a handful of Bugatti Royale Napolean, they are enormous and it's too bad nothing is next to it to show the perspective

Max Balchowsky, creator of the "Old Yeller" series of handbuilt spare parts racecars that won in races against all the exotic European race cars
Max built the Old Yeller cars that defined this era (1958-1964) of California racing.
The Old Yeller legend began when Max and partner Eric Hauser acquired a Special built by Dick Morgensen of Phoenix, Arizona. Max applied his skills, modifying and upgrading almost every part of the car, and created a potent threat for overall wins.
Old Yeller, an assortment of junkyard debris powered by one of Max's killer Buick nailheads, embarrassed many an expensive European sports car and inspired a generation of hot rodders to go road racing... http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/27709714/95-MAX-BALCHOWSKYS-OLD-YELLER-I
Max pulled the engine, and put it into Old Yeller II, which he'd just built.
Dan Gurney and Carroll Shelby also drove Old Yeller II. Gurney declared it "The best handling car I've ever driven". ... http://www.tamsoldracecarsite.net/MaxBalchowsky1.html
Old Yaller 1 was made from the Morgensen Special and all the work Max did to make it better, but Old Yellar II was all Max.
Max Balchowsky who took on the best in the business with his motoring equivalent of a mutt. From their outward appearance, cars like Old Yeller II appeared crude, but all of the Yellers were well engineered and usually competed for overall victory with much more expensive competition... http://www.supercars.net/cars/608.html
"Built from derelict freeway signs, a Coca Cola sign, Chevy truck parts, whitewall tires, and junkyard parts" .. " winning 8 of 13 outings in 1963-64" .. the engine was built with "special pistons, six Stromberg 97 carburetors on two Crower log manifolds, and an exotic camshaft from Ed Winfield" .... Vintage American Road Racing Cars 1950-1969 By Harold Pace
"Max became good friends with Buddy Hackett and did the setups for the VW known as Herbie for the movie 'Love Bug.' Max is most legendary for the movie stunt work he did for the movie Bullit with Steve McQueen, and he knew Steve well. Max worked with Elvis Presley in several movies, and for Viva Las Vegas, Max used two Old Yeller race cars in the movie (one crashed)."

Herbie version of the new beetle... showing battle scars
At first glance I was smiling that someone made the number and stripes for the new beetle. Then I was sorta taken back that it has seen some tough times. Passenger side is looking dented and scraped, and the nose is going to take some serious money to make it right again.
Is it just me? Do I find things in pairs in about a week? It seems to be that way. Last week was the Herbie transporter, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/07/cool-herbie-theme-on-transporter-vw.html and then this beetle. There have been more examples, but you get the idea. Feels weird in a good way, since it's a pair of cool things.
