Saw this on the road in Southwest FL today

Its (near) twin lives somewhere near me. I keep seeing it on the road and even in the parking lot at Lowe's. The best part is that the guy I see driving it is probably not even 40. Speaking of 40, it seems to keep up with traffic fairly well at 40-45 mph.

Not on the road, but at the auction. 1968 Dodge Polaris, 1979 Chrysler Cordoba, 1980 Porsche 924.

Original California black license plates might mean this has been a long-time resident.

Ok…the sidewalk. I believe this is available in 1/35. It needs a Hayabusa engine.

Went to the first Euro Cars & Coffee of the year in these parts this morning at the Oak Bay Marina Victoria BC Canada. Predicted sunny day did not start until later in the morning but it did not deter many car enthusiasts from bringing out there cars. There were a number of interesting cars at this morning's gathering.

It needs a Hayabusa? Is it to be raced?

Watching this year's Dakar rally, there are Not 1, but 2, Citroen CV-2, and a really cool Gulf Porsche in the Historic class!

city patching potholes.  Use a leaf blower to get the snow and standing water out, shovel in some cold patch and move on. no attept fo even level it,, so the next time they plow, it's rinse and repeat.

Around here that seems to be the way they keep fixing the craters in the roadway. They think it gives them job security since they never run out of work.

Saw a Kia Amanti today for the first time in a long time in traffic and then at a store. This one was spotless, no dents, and the paint and interior looked brand new.

Not a car you see very often anymore. Just proof that rarity doesn't always equal high prices.
