I saw a Suburban today. 60s vintage. Pepto Bismol pink. Not something you see everyday. ---

In the WalMart parking lot, a car with Oklahoma - Choctaw Nation plates. ---

Haven’t been out of the house today. Saturday and Sunday it was probably the mid-70’s Buick Skylark my neighbors are restoring. Friday it was the Lotus Elise my best friend from high school drives. We went to the movies and dinner. Not sure if it counts because I see it about once a month. ---

I live in the Dominican Republic and the cars I see every day do not exist back in real life. I see Dayhatsu Terios which is my favorite car and hope to buy one next year. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Saw a vehicle for sale today. It’s a Volunteer Fire Department rescue vehicle. Sort of an enhanced ambulance with attached lights, generator, etc. Probably gets lousy gas mileage, but I wonder how it could be repurposed. Hearse? ---

> [@somepumpkin](#): > > Last week I saw a nice example of a ~1970 Ford Ranchero (dusty red and white) that dude was using as a daily driver. I talked to him for a bit and he said that he had spent a couple of years bringing it back to life, but he’d really rather drive it than restore it. It wasn’t fully restored, but had a new paint job and was looking good. He still had the old Ford hubcaps on the wheels. One of the “cool” things about it was it had turn signal indicators on the back of the hood scoop. > > Coolest was probably this baby that I’ve been driving the last couple of days. [1963 Ford Futura.](http://s1004.photobucket.com/user/staubej/media/falcon_zps8eb7fc45.jpg.html) I had one of those about 1975 or so when it sold for $100.00 ---

Right about now or Labor day week there is Cruising on the Coast in Biloxi Mississippi an dthat area. Great older cars and classics. Even some barn fresh ones for sale any year I’ve been there. ---

I saw a few weeks ago in South Florida a vanity plate that said LADV8 and thought a Latino announcing he was a deviate, but I talked to the guy and he was celebrating that he was a lad with a V8. It was a 1972 or so huge Pontiac. ---

A blue one of these was parked in my neighbor’s drive this morning: [The Auto Moto](http://www.theautomoto.com/images/portfolio-item-9.jpg). Never seen one before. It gets 80 miles per gallon, and can reach speeds of 85mph. Oh, and it comes with a 4-speaker MP3 sound system. ---

> [@CheshireKat](#): > > A blue one of these was parked in my neighbor’s drive this morning: [The Auto Moto](http://www.theautomoto.com/images/portfolio-item-9.jpg). Looks sort of like the [BMW C1](http://www.diseno-art.com/images/c1.jpg), which I’d prefer as I don’t think rear wheels do that Moto any favors. ---

Someone with a yellow '68 Impala visited one of our neighbors today. Yesterday there was what may have been a '68 Tempest or LeMans parked near me while I was waiting for a bus. Didn’t get a good look at it but I’m fairly certain it was some sort of late '60s GM product. ---

There was a dark red McLaren SLS next to me on I-90 coming into downtown Chicago today. Looked much better in person than on the page or screen.
