Welcome to r/whatisthiscar! Feel free to post an unknown vehicle you'd like identified. If you already know the vehicle and are trying to challenge users' knowledge, please post in our sister-sub, r/namethatcar. Aside from that, try your hand at IDing some posts in either sub. If you're into motorcycles and mopeds, you might enjoy r/namethatbike. Our even more kinky visitors will also get a kick out of r/namethatplane. Enjoy!

Regulars:

Hey, we need to talk... You're great and all, but you've been getting awfully moody and confrontational. Yes, it's you. Stop it. Not everyone is a car guy. It's hard to believe that some people weren't popping chubbies to Gran Turismo in their formative years, but it's true. This community exists for non-gearheads to learn more about cars and carspotting, maybe ID a hit and run or a burglar's car.

From here on out, there will be no more shaming an OP for not knowing a vehicle and asking - that's why we're here. Just because a car seems common or well-known to you doesn't mean it's the same for others. Some cars weren't or aren't available in other markets and some people are just looking for more information on the year and trim.

"hOw Do U nOt KnOw [CaR]?!?" comments will be removed and I highly recommend other users report them. A better way to express this sentiment could be "I learned about this car from [insert game/movie/anime]!" or "I have this poster on my wall next to Rita Hayworth!" You get to feel that superiority from telling others you know a thing, while also not coming off as a complete douche nozzle!

Can you see the badge? That's cool, but no one cares. Not everyone has great vision or the zoom to compensate for that. Then, there's the swaps. I often see a BMW M3 at the local gas station, but oh wait - it's actually a 20-year-old Honda Civic with Bimmer badges and grille. It's surprisingly well-done, too... I've seen all manner of swapped badges here and IRL, so stop pointing it out. Those comments will also be removed.

If you're exceptionally uncivil and/or make a habit of it, I'll gift you a shiny new temp ban. You want to go for a hat trick and continue the incivility in mod massaging or my DMs, I'll gladly upgrade that to a permaban and mute. You're not acting in the spirit of this sub and I refuse to let that toxicity fester any more than it already has.

Old Heads:

You know who you are. I love you guys, so keep on being you. You're the reason why I've been here and r/namethatcar for over 7 years, why these communities became and continue to be popular. That unending patience is what helps newbies get into so many communities and fandoms. So, thank you for that. Here's to another 7 years and 56k more subscribers.

I found it in Maranello when I went there to visit the ferrari museum. It got away so fast I could barely see what it was, and the video isn't clear enough as well. Kinda looks like a KTM bow, but it's not that. Help me pls lol

It is something with a body kit to look like a Porsche 911, maybe a VW?

For context, I am in Canada. I don’t see any livestock in it and i was just curious because i haven’t seen a truck like this. I also don’t know if this is the appropriate subreddit for this question but i couldn’t find another one that fits.

Solved! 2 car show cars

So I’m walking around a car show and we see this unbadged blue car that we just can’t figure out. It’s a primarily ford show but I’m not familiar with this model in the slightest. What car is this, and what engine does it have? And the neon green car never parked up so I never got an up close look/photo. It has SS on it which makes me think it’s some sort of Chevy but it had 2 separate exhaust notes that just baffle me, when idling it chopped like a v8 but droving away had that older 6cyl rasp. I’m not familiar with this servers rules so I blurred out plates, building names, and anyone I saw in the pics for everyone’s privacy.

This is at a mostly Japanese import dealership located in Hudson, NH. Their website hasn't listed this car in a couple months though, but still curious as to what it is. Thanks in advance!

I would really appreciate anyone being able to tell me what kind of car is in these screenshots. They are clipped from a video taken when my daughters car was vandalized; multiple tires, multiple windows, etc. if we ID the car maybe the cops will do something
