What did you see on the road today?

[Suburban_Hooligan]

there was an old sticker i used to see on VW busses, specifically split busses, "your Vanagon sucks.  stop waving at me"  iv got a feeling it'll make a comeback only it'll read "your Buzz sucks.  stop waving at me"

Saw a Human Horizons HIPHI today. Robotic looks with race car acceleration. Gets to 60mph in a shade over 2 sec. Not very common sight, especially considering the price. Cool car.

While out & about today I got to see what the Buzz is about. I didn't get any front photos, but it could grow on ya... IMO.. 

I saw a transporter truck leaving a local rail yard that had a few of those on it, first time I had seen any of them in person too. Usually I just see Teslas leaving that yard.

At least they tied it down. Around here you can often find household debris on the side of the highway around the first of the month when some people are moving. "We don't need no sticking tie downs".

Yesterday: a Tesla in color changing paint purple to gold depending on the angle. didn't have time for a pic, I was late for my appointment.

Today late '70s land yacht GM, possibly Pontiac. and of course, I forgot my phone.

Monday, I was running some errands and saw two different Tesla pickups. One was a natural finish, and the other was done in a flat black finish. My thought is if you're going to spend this much money for a vehicle that is becoming known to spontaneously combust and burn you house down shouldn't it at least look like someone put some effort and expense to give it a pleasant body design?

A Cyber Truck in chartreuse-ugliness squared.  No, no photo.  Didn't want to sear the cellphone's electronics.

Well not really on the road yet. A front end hit on a c8. Putting her back together. I’m not a great c8 fan but it is a cool car. I’m still stuck on the front engine cars. One day I’ll pull my head out and accept these cars. Nothing wrong with them at all, but just stuck in old times I guess.

Saw this on the road in Southwest FL today

64 Thunderbird hardtop and a 64 Comet convertible.  Separate sightings, out in the brutal sunny 70-degree winter weather.

The c7 is a front engine and c8 is rear, mid, I like the front engine cars. C1-C7 the c8 is a pretty good car. A little too much computer stuff for me. I’m just old and like the old cars I guess.

Most people today are too young to remember just how well built and long lasting these cars were.

While taking our granddaughter to her a friends house I spotted this plymouth but didn't get to snap a photo. On the way back I figured I had missed it but saw what appeared to be another gem in the rough that I photographed. Turns out it's the same car, I didn't recognize it without the front grill..
