On Monday I saw a FUBARed Jaguar F-Type Convertible about to be dragged up onto a roll-back. There is a major construction zone in the Zoo Interchange(anyone from around here knows what I'm talking about) where traffic lanes narrow each way and apparently the driver ran out of room and spun the car around and caved the entire rear-end into a temporary wall. Other drivers had luck on there side, because the Jag was the only vehicle involved. Traffic was backed up for almost 2 miles and hardly moving...glad I was going the other way.

Today on my way home from work I saw a Smart car with a rotating key in the back of it. It was stopped at a light and the key kept spinning. If it wasn't dark and I knew how to do a video from my smart phone, I would be posting it!

This Rambler "Speedster":

It looked a little rough at first glance, but it turned out to be a well thought out car with good workmanship. Lots of tubing in the interior to strengthen the unibody after the top was cut off.

Hey, this could be built using one of those "Ram Blur" snap kits!

Today I looked out the window at work and there was a Delorean sitting at the curb! In the no parking zone!

Did it have wires running along the side? Mr Fusion unit at the back? :P:lol:

Saw a black Aston Martin Vanquish and one of the new Lexus RC350 coupes today in silver, first I'd seen in person--very edgy coupe..as in lots of sharp edges and strange lines...

After taking my Cherokee out for a little while, I was out running around in my 200 and started to notice it seems like the XJ Cherokees are returning to the streets, haven't seen this many in one day that didn't belong to my family in a while.

Yesterday on route 2 headed to Lowell IN, I passed by a 1980's Corvette...4 x 4 !! Nice blue paint, but why on earth would anyone build a Corvette 4 x 4?????? It looked totally dumb! Kind of defeats the purpose of a sports car!? : (

Platform sharing is the norm at most automakers...been that way for decades. The Cimarron was an example of bad badge engineering--pretty much a mediocre Cavalier with some slightly different trim and a longer option list.

As far as Cadillac today, the ATS and CTS are on Alpha, which is exclusive to Cadillac for now, though the 6th gen Camaro is supposed to be on it. The XTS is on Epsilon II and has a lot of dirty bits in common w/ the Lacrosse and Impala, but has it's own unique interior and exterior. The SRX is on the same platform as the Equinox and Terrain, but again, unique body and interior. The Escalade is on the same platform as GM's other fullsize BOF SUVs (Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban) but has a lot of differences inside and out...
