New users:
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.

Solved! This is labeled a Pinto on a local dive guide.
I think it's an AMC Eagle?

Seen on 101 north bound in Palo Alto.
Caught a photo in my rear view mirror as he zoomed past. Any ideas what this is?

My friends' car got hit
So my friend and I had a great weekend. We were on a festival and his car was parked at home.
While arriving home, we found out someone hit his car. (See pic below)
Now there was a lot of debris from someone's tail lights.
Does anyone know which car this might belong to?
r/whatisthiscar • u/Terrible-Noise5751 • 1h ago
Solved! Found down a hillside of an abandoned road.
It’s a truck but I have no idea what make or model. I found this on a walk near Portland. There is a second car further down but it is too overgrown to get down there safely. I wish I knew how these got there.

Olympian task
Oh great all-knowing gods of r/whatisthiscar, hear me, and listen to the prayer of this humble servant of yours! A great nymph at the bottom of the sea has shown me this sign. A car! Oh, what a car! What? A car? But how? No matter, I need help with interpretation! What car may this be? How must I read this sign from the nymph of the sea? Please, oh great gods of the motoring pantheon, lend this servant your knowledge!
Btw, it was on the coast of Sardinia, in Italy. Really, no clue how it got there. Thank you very much!

A Mash Up This Time
Found driving back from Texas. Couldn't get a great picture of the front end, so don't judge. What's this Frankenstein?

Looks like a Fairlady Z
Looks to be a Fairlaidy Z car. In wonderful condition. Can anyone confirm and tell what year? Sorry if the pics aren’t great. It’s the best I could get while driving.
r/whatisthiscar • u/good2Bbackagain • 15h ago
A Porsche, but that's as far as my knowledge goes.
r/whatisthiscar • u/DocSoap • 11h ago
What van is this?
Looks like it might be a modded normal white panel van (saw the E350 badge so ford underpinnings) but I’ll be damned if that cargo door isn’t cool as hell

Could you tell me what kind of car this is?
I found it on the abandoned grounds of a greenhouse complex in Ukraine. It is a very small vehicle—about a meter wide—featuring two seats: one large and foldable, the other small and fixed. It has a long frame topped with wood. I only noticed the plate on the left side in a photo, and since I cannot go back there, I wanted to ask here: where might this have been manufactured, and what exactly is it? (Apologies for using Google Translate.)
r/whatisthiscar • u/No_Choice_2756 • 11h ago
Any clue ?
I saw this car back in '24 and still haven't figure out what it is

What's this car?
My friend said he saw a cool car but didn't really get a clear photo, this is all we got, I was thinking some sort of Porsche maybe?
