What did you see on the road today?

[Phildaupho]

Not a great photo but I was so surprised to see it around the corner from my place that I was slow to get my phone out.

Someone spent probably a couple thousand dollars on suspension components, wheels, and tires to lift this up to increase the ground clearance. Then, spent several hundred dollars more for that trailer hitch. 

It's all about the macho image!  Pretty funny - good catch.

Not sure if this is one of the 50 parade cars from last years race:

Belongs to one of my neighbors I guess - would be interesting in asking them about it…

Seen this today in Anderson, IN.  At a car lot

I SAW these the other day, parked behind the "LHS".  The silver Outback is pretty cool too.

The E30 seemed tiny, especially compared with what passes for 3-series these days.

Nice looking Nova. This photo illustrates well just how small older cars really are. There seems to be the notion, even among car enthusiasts, that old cars are big and heavy. A couple years ago I was travelling down a busy four lane road, two lanes of traffic coming towards me. Among the traffic was a car much smaller than everything around it. Still a way off, I couldn't identify it right away, except I could tell it was old. As it got closer, I saw it was a '59 Chevy four door sedan, with its little 15" wheels and skinny tires, looking positively tiny in the sea of modern SUVs and cross-overs. I just couldn't get over how small it looked.

See these guys pretty regularly

terrible pic (thank you sun glare and lady who seemed weirded out that i was taking a picture of a car, making me work fast) but Lamborghini Huracan.

also saw a 64 Chevy, not sure what trim level,  didn't get a super good look.  don't think it was an Impala.  hopefully its still in that driveway tomorrow.

Plus an older Porsche Cayenne, done up as a Rothman's rally car, cruising on the 405 freeway.

Saw this really nice Harley this morning at the local deli. And it was only 31 degrees out.

Amazing condition for being in Hawaii that long. One thing I noticed on my few visits to these beautiful Islands is that local cars living near the ocean rust pretty quickly.

A Kia EV9 in factory camouflage.  Later I saw an undisguised one on a transport trailer.

This afternoon in the land where snow and subzero temps are not a huge concern  ...

Had to pull my EV into a liquid energy dispensary to get a PIC of this really nice mustang. The guy driving it said he got it for his son to drive to high school and had it built in AZ. He would not adopt me, but he was a really nice guy.

Rotten day for a drive (well, rainy which passes for rotten in Calif ?) but the wife was getting cabin fever.  In Napa Valley (Calistoga) a Maserati GranTurismo coupe with a strong sounding engine and a very clean black Buick Grand National.  On the way out of Napa in the Carneros area (awesome Pinot Noir) I passed a ranch and saw a parked- and half covered with a tarp- dark orange Bricklin.  Haven't seen one in probably 25 years

[RSchnell]

Saw this Porsche Speedster in the parking lot of the local hot dog place. Also saw a super clean 58 Rambler Wagon but wasn't able to get a photo of it.
