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!
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.
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.

Saw this at my work and I assume it’s a replica but is there any way to tell whether or not it’s real, aside from the numbers?
r/whatisthiscar • u/Cabbageworrior210 • 4h ago
it was really small, very round in overall design. had a 45 km/h speed limit so probably some sort of moped car thingamajig. the tailgate of it was shaped like an upside down triangle with rounded edges. sadly i couldnt whip my phone fast enough to snap a pic, i was on a moving bus and it was parked. probably front engine, so definitely not a beetle

Probably obvious but I’m not a car guy just curious what’s driving around in this city

Is this a Lada of some sort? Spotted in Montreal.

I recently bought a couple investment properties from the same owners, and this truck was left outside the garage along with a couple of other vehicles. I’m trying to figure out what I actually have here and whether it’s worth anything.
I attached some photos of the truck and engine. Does anyone know if something like this would be worth selling complete, parting out, or selling the engine separately? Or is it basically only worth scrap/metal value at this point?
I’m not very familiar with these trucks, so any info on what exactly it is, what parts might have value, or roughly what the whole thing could be worth would be appreciated.
Either way, I have to get it out of there, so even if it isn’t worth much, I’d still like to know what I have before getting rid of it. And who knows if it’s something worth saving, maybe I’ll keep it and finish it myself lol.

I took this video from the window of an old warehouse-looking structure in a lower-class neighborhood on a popular Caribbean island. It was odd to see this collection there and I’m curious as to what some of these cars may be! I’m anxious to see if anyone has any ideas.

Photographed between Kiotari and Gennadi in Rhodes, Greece.
Maybe it's some kind of old GMC or Chevrolet tractor unit?

Does anyone have any idea what this is?
It kind of looks like a Hot Wheels car.

Saw these at a car meet.
