It's actually a DKW, but DKW (later renamed Audi) was one of the 4 component brands of the Auto Union (that's the reason for Audi's 4 rings logo) that were Audi, DKW, Horsch and Wanderer. This one is made in Brazil, where it's often called "Vemag" due to the company that license-made them in Brazil.

Now some pictures I took the most recent time I went to my lola's house...

My dad with the rear axle of a former police cruiser Opel Rekord C...

My dad with his Subaru Impreza...

Igor, a boxer that belongs to an aunt of mine, in front of the Subaru...

This Pontiac Trans Sport belongs to an uncle of mine. Has a 3.1L 60-degree V6 Buick engine bolted to the same 3-speed automatic transmission that was used in the Opel Kadett E.

After 2007 when I got my 1st cellphone with a built-in camera I never bought a camera before. Have used cameras from friends in family hangouts, but I still use more the cellphone cams...

I saw this owner-type Wrangler in my hometown.

This one is a Brazilian Chevrolet S10. The same front-end was used in the American Isuzu Hombre. I was walking and had to use the zoom, so there were some distortions in the picture but it's OK.
