We don't see any of these trucks here in the UK, how much?

I don’t know if any of them are for sale? I did call about the panel wagon out of curiosity. The fellow said he would get his brother to call me back when he returns from vacation. No word yet.

Two new Renaults or as named in the Renault sports line of Alpine. Both are in a neighbours driveway, these are promotional pictures.

And the new Renault 5 is an EV, in the Alpine range.

I'm reminded of a Nissan Juke, the Japanese Pontiac Aztek.  Hard pass on either of them.  I know they're re-imagining the original Alpine like Ford did with the 2005/1969 Mustang but, no.

I’m sure someone will know what this is and I’ll feel like a dummy once I find out…

 

Not a Mopar guy but it looks like a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda to me.

I was thinking a Plymouth something, but couldn’t put my finger on it.  Yes!  Thank you!!!

Not on the road, but in an apartment parking lot, so close! It's a JDM Nissan Van from the 80s right hand drive and everything. There used to be an American market version tooling around here, but I think it went to salvage a few years ago. It's not often we see an actual JDM import here in central Texas. Sure looked super clean.

Found these in my own neighborhood.  The owner is a young guy (late 20's-very early 30's) who works remotely for a tech company in Silicon Valley.  The red car is a Challenger Hellcat and the Corvette is track dedicated.  No, he's not married either.

This weekend's sightings. Saw that '65 New Yorker again and got video footage of it leaving the parking lot and a mid-80s Lincoln Town car at one of the churches yesterday afternoon while I was there doing some volunteer work in the community gardens out back. Very clean car.

Not on the road, but on the dealer's lot. 2025 Chevy BrightDrop. I had no idea Chevy made an electric cargo van.

 

2025 is the first year they have been rolled into Chevrolet. They have been around since 2022-ish as a separate GM subsidiary. FedEx has some, but you certainly don't see many on the road, even here in California.

I saw a truck transporting a couple of these on Monday.  I was wondering what they were.

A wrecking yard near Gooding, Idaho that had a LOT of interesting cars and trucks.  A lot of Cadillacs 40s-60s.  This place covers a lot of acreage.

Between Ephraim and Manti, Utah, a house with several rusty 50s-60s Mopars.  In the front yard was a 2-door 62-63 Imperial with a For Sale sign in the window.

There were banners all over Manti for the Ed Roth Reunion, which will be held next weekend.  We drove past Roth's house/museum.

Nice Malibu, sorry to see the gas prices. Ouch

that's one of the lower priced stations local to me.  the 76 station about 3 miles down the street is 30 cents a gallon more.  and refinery's are closing so its going to get worse.

Stopped at Costco in Lenexa Ks a couple of days ago and paid 2.79.9 for regular top tier gas. The big difference is the state sales taxes on a gallon of gas.

Yep, it's the added on tax that drives it up. Here in Maryland it's 46.1 cents tax per gallon 🤬.. I filled up today @ $2.93 per gallon, that's the cash price. Their premium is $4.19 per gallon.
