Something interesting to me was this Toyota Hilux with Mexico plates. I actually prefer this truck to the American Tacoma. Photographed today at a Walmart here in central Texas.

These are quite common over here in the U.K.

Both spotted in the grocery store’s parking lot this morning - one of those little Slingshot three wheelers, and a cool old 90s Saab.  Apparently those Saabs are pretty quick, and take to tuning well!

 

Love that Saab. I had a 900SE 5 door and it handled really well.

Spotted this in a tiny community off the freeway, when I was gassing up.  Terrible place to take pictures.

I saw this on the road, as I was sat in it as a passenger hurtling round the local tarmac at incredible speeds! Blimey it’s fast and sticks to the road like the proverbial to a blanket.

Roger, my mate and the owner, also has a sprint racer Caterham and has threatened me with a trip round a track in that.

I have wanted a 7 since I was 10 years old but never had the means or space to own one. This was my first trip in one.

Careful with those!

Start riding around in one and the next thing you know, you're trapped in a strange village with a number for a name. ?

And only offered a Mini Moke in exchange. ?

Someone was probably driving their truck on auto cruise playing patty cake and listening to their dog howl.

Saw this wild looking ice blue 2023 McLaren yesterday at a shopping center.I ran into the owner who said that it was just bought in CT,and that he paid around $450K for it,with all the options he got.Sounds a little high in the price,but then again i don’t know much about McLarens.

[Matt Bacon]

Mclaren once again demonstrating it’s the “everyday supercar” that you can use just as easily use to pop to the grocery store as put in a few hot laps at the track…

best,

Got a laugh out of this.

 

[Brian Austin]

Yesterday in central MA I saw an early-mid '60s Chevy panel truck, customized as an Ectomobile tribute.

[oldcarfan]

Not on the road, but just pulling into a parking spot. Someone was having a bad day.

[LL3 Model Worx]

Blew out both tires at once (sounded like a bomb) and then he kept trying to pull... caught fire... had to rush over with extinguisher.

Walking into the Fleet Farm last night, stopped and chatted with the owner of an all numbers matching, fairly original (convertible top replaced, stainless brake and fuel lines, epoxied frame) 1965 GTO. Charcoal blue, dark (blue or black) interior with a white top. He bought it in the early 80s, has owned it since. Original tri-power motor, 4 speed, all drum brakes. Still has the AM radio. Had aftermarket 5 spoke grey (day 2ish) wheels. All numbers matching and documented from Pontiac. Stunning car to me.

He offered it for sale, I didn't even ask a number. A truly beautiful car. And I completely forgot to take any pics.

Earlier this week, I saw this in Tucson. I was disappointed my son didn't know what it was when I texted him pics.

If it's restored to how it came from the factory, the silver paint and racing strip would make it a '65. Neither were available in '64.

[keyser]

Yeah. S was mid 65 iirc. Nice car. Really like those. Kit was great too

I think you have to be of a curtain age to know what an S type was. This looks the part, but it was common to make a regular Barracuda look like an S type back in the day.

I resemble that remark. Upside I was only 5. 
Yeah stripe doesn’t make it S. But Commando badge and nice wheel choice gives hope. ??

Now that is a very fine automobile. To me, the early Barracudas are the nicest looking.
