America's Mountains Are King

Chapter 515 The Attraction of Classic Cars

Qi Ping felt that the matter of catching crocodiles was temporarily suspended, because he had already experienced part of it.Although he couldn't catch the crocodile, Steve had already done it.

Whether two people are more or more just experiencing some interesting activities, they don't necessarily want to concentrate on doing a certain thing well.They ran away after catching the crocodile, because now they know the fun of catching crocodiles; there are so many interesting things in the world, there is no need to stay in Louisiana, they will continue to set off.

I have been in Louisiana for a long time, and catching alligators was originally an unplanned thing; so I am not going to Alabama and Georgia now, and now I am going straight to Florida.The reason is to see Miami, the capital of America.

It is actually very interesting to visit this city, which is evaluated as the richest city in the United States and the fifth richest city in the world, and the cleanest city in the United States; because this is a melting pot of cultures, it is very much influenced by the large Latin American ethnic group and the residents of Caribbean island countries. It has close cultural and linguistic ties with North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean, so of course it has very different cultural characteristics.

Eat Mexican food, go to the famous beach in Miami, and then go to Bisjing Island to see the killer whale show at the "Miami Aquarium" at the most famous tourist attraction.These are indeed quite interesting. Such a leisurely and contented trip is really quite comfortable. This seems to be the most relaxing travel mode.

"Rent a yacht, and we will drive directly to your island." Steve put forward his proposal, he is still quite curious about the fairyland island, "Your island should be well built now, let's go and have a look .”

"I don't want to sail by myself, it's too far away. It's too awkward for you to stay on a boat for a day or two. And you don't know, the legendary Bermuda Triangle came out of Miami, we If it’s going to Wonderland Island, what if it’s captured by aliens. Don’t go, unless it’s by plane, it’s easy.”

Qi Ping thought about it, and he still felt that the matter of the island was really left behind by him now, and he almost forgot that his fairyland island was still under development.

Thinking about it frustratingly, it is that the property under his hands is indeed a bit too much, and this is a bit too much to take care of.

Qi Ping is not very interested in going to his own island; because he took his wife and children there some time ago, although the development of the island is progressing very fast, it may be said that it changes every day.But Qi Ping really didn't plan to look at it, because there was a progress chart in his mailbox, and there was nothing interesting in the past now.

"Why don't we rent a yacht, and we'll go straight to North Carolina. Go catch Boston lobsters, and get a little taste of being a fisherman."

Hearing Qi Ping's words, Steve rolled his eyes decisively; although Boston lobsters are quite famous, he didn't think it was so interesting to catch lobsters.This matter was meaningless at all; so he resolutely refused, Steve felt that there would be many things more interesting than catching lobsters, anyway, he would not catch lobsters.

Steve felt that the world is so big and there are so many interesting games, there is really no need to waste water.Even if you want to play in the water, it should be in the sea, yachts, or bikinis. This is much more interesting than catching fish and shrimp.

Anyway, he felt that Qi Ping's proposal was really boring, and he was determined not to accept it.

As a professional player, Steve has a great say in this matter; in fact, he also feels that Qi Ping is indeed too conservative in some matters.No way, everyone has their own ideas, and everyone has different hobbies; he knows very well that Qi Ping doesn't like those lively parties very much, which is normal.

Even the current playboy Steve has begun to slowly cultivate himself, because he has a child, and now he no longer likes to live an indulgent life like he did when he was young.It's just that we have to admit that some things really cannot be completely changed in a short time, and this thing is really normal.

"We don't go racing, we don't go to those famous nightclubs, we don't go gambling or hang out with some messy women. I think this thing is very normal, and I know it may be a very good one. Travel. But my man, we're partying now, we should have some fun events planned."

Seeing Qi Ping listening with his legs crossed, Steve began to sell his plan.The two had been in Miami for two days, and the energy consumed by the long drive and raid had returned.Now that the two of them have recovered to their best condition, then naturally they can go crazy and do some interesting and challenging things.

"Would you be interested in coming with me to find classic cars, you know, cars that are older than you. It would be cool, and it would make you look good when you find one. See what I mean, when you Driving out a classic car is enough to make everyone pay attention to you, which is cooler and more connotative than a sports car.”

Steve's words stunned Qi Ping, but he had to say that he was moved; classic cars, this is an irresistible temptation for car lovers.And the classic car culture is really exciting.

Classic cars, which are a product of nostalgia, are means of transportation that people used to use in the past.Especially those models that are more famous in history will be more valuable for collection.

In fact, real classic cars are not so easy to find; not every old car is eligible to become a classic car, and good maintenance is an important prerequisite.In the market, there are not many cars with classic designs, but some classic and well-maintained cars are real classic cars.

Old cars and classic cars are completely different concepts.Those extraordinary cars, with good design, high standards of craftsmanship and production, this is a classic car, otherwise it is just an ordinary means of transportation.

"I want to find an old Cadillac, you know, Americans have a special affection for Cadillacs. And to have a Cadillac with a history, it will be more enviable. Now coming to Miami, I think I'm pretty close to a classic car."

Steve said excitedly that he was fascinated by classic cars now; Qi Ping was also moved, although he had several cars in his garage, he had just ordered a Kosenig.However, it would be even more enviable to have a classic car with a heavy sense of history; of course, classic cars can be used on the road in the United States, which is cool and handsome.

In the United States, the classic car market is actually huge, and many people like to collect classic cars; it is not easy to find a good classic car, which requires vision, luck and financial resources.In Miami, it may be easier to get a classic car.

Because across the strait from Miami is Cuba, a country that has been against the United States for half a century and has been sanctioned.In Cuba, in Havana, there are actually a lot of classic cars.

The United States has imposed long-term economic sanctions against Cuba and banned the export of cars to Cuba. Therefore, old cars such as Ford, Chevrolet and Oldsmobile produced in the 30s and 50s are all over the streets and alleys of Cuban cities.

Although they were sanctioned by the United States, some Cuban classic car owners realized the value of their cars in the international car market, so they kept these cars in their home garages, hoping that one day they would be able to sell them to other countries after the relevant laws were changed. Collectors willing to pay high prices.

It seems that the embargo is very strong, but I have to say that smuggling has always existed; especially the city of Miami, which was once the capital of crime, is also the largest drug transfer station in the United States.So here, there are too many crimes. Even though Miami has undergone too many improvements, some backgrounds still exist.

Original equipment, this is a standard of a classic car; it does not mean that the shell of an old car is a classic car, obviously, a classic car needs to have a sense of history from the inside to the outside.

Steve wanted a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado, an American car with a unique and quirky shape; twin bullet-shaped taillights, a jewel-like radiator grille, a tall rocket tail, a wraparound windshield and a graceful The contour line of the body and the extremely gorgeous and perfect shape of the vehicle represented the extravagant culture of the United States at that time.

But now this car, there are too few in the world; so that it can be encountered but not sought, so Steve even said that he can retreat to the next best thing. In fact, the Fleetwood Sixty is also a classic Cadillac classic car. This car was born after World War II.

From the appearance point of view, it is extremely tense and artistically expressive.In addition to the refreshing integrated roof design and streamlined body shape, it also uniquely adopted a fashionable curved windshield glass, creating a precedent in the field of car design at that time.

These are classic classic cars, so that Qi Ping, a rookie classic car fan, was moved when he saw these cars.Originally, he was just interested, not necessarily because he had a strong desire; but now, he felt the charm of classic cars, and he felt that he wanted to get a classic car that suited his taste no matter what.

As for the fact that it is not easy to get a classic car, Qi Ping really doesn't care now; because he thinks that he likes such a car.And he just bought a car instead of smuggling it; so it is understandable that it is not too difficult for him to do things that can be done with a little money, as long as he spends a little more money, then the car may be a clean identity.

For Da Ben, Qi Ping likes a car; in fact, Qi Ping is a Da Ben fan, although he does not have a Mercedes in his garage now.But in fact, Qi Ping really likes Daben; if he wants to buy a classic car now, he just needs to find his favorite brand, especially those classic cars with history, which are definitely cooler and more interesting.

Mercedes-Benz 1959S was produced in 220, which is very good; it inherits the big front, big water tank cover, and electroplated round lights of the 20s and 30s, and at the same time has the prototype of a modern luxury car.And what Qi Ping likes most is the shiny silver Benz logo on the front of the car.

In fact, the 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL convertible made Qiping even more excited. Although this car has a history of more than half a century, this car has a simple styling concept, perfect design proportions, excellent performance, and superb performance. A car with handling characteristics that remains fresh and engaging to this day.And the car has those charming "gull wing" doors, which is pretty darn cool!

His heart was moved, his heart was completely moved; it is no exaggeration to say that now Qi Ping feels that if he does not get a car that satisfies him, he will not be able to sleep well at night.Obviously, he has now successfully been brought out by Steve to love classic cars, and he feels that he needs to get a classic car with a sense of history no matter what.

This is a must, anyway, Qi Ping thinks that he wants to get a good car for granted; even, the desire to get a classic car far exceeds his expectation of a sports car.For Qi Ping, the current classic car is the manliest and most anticipated good car. As for the sports car, it can only pretend to be cool.

I really didn’t expect that the carnival and rebellion that came out this time would be such a result; I drove from the west coast to the east coast along the way, completing the crossing of the United States that many Americans look forward to and yearn for.And in this process, it's not just about traveling in mountains and rivers or tasting some special delicacies, there are also many interesting things happening in this process.

For example, the matter of crocodile hunting, even though Steve felt very uncomfortable at the beginning, but now recalling it, he feels quite a sense of accomplishment.But now, the anticipation of classic cars made Qi Ping and Steve even more impulsive. Anyway, they don't think it's worth spending the money at all.

What needs to be done now is to contact those intermediaries and dealers everywhere, and also need to find some brokers, so as to find more classic car collectors.Even, you need to think about how to find some whitewashed smuggled cars or something, so that you can be more sure of getting a satisfactory car.

Crazy, so it seems; actually the reason this crazy ride seems to have come to an abrupt end is because they have even crazier plans, because they're now suddenly interested in classic cars.So they have to go back to their home in California, so that they can make better use of the resources in their hands.

Crazy, continue to be crazy, being crazy does not necessarily mean going outside; and a way of expressing being crazy does not necessarily mean having a carnival outside or some seemingly barbaric ways.Crazy can also be a very connotative way of expression.
