Went to Kroger today, as I was leaving I spotted a really nice looking 65 GTO sitting in a separate lot, across the main drive from Kroger’s. After putting my groceries in the truck I walked over to get a better look. Up close, it was beyond really nice. Nearly perfect. As I was admiring it the owner came up and I chatted with him briefly. Beautiful example of one of my all time favorite cars. [Not this car but it looked just like this, color and all.](https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1965-PONTIAC-GTO-2-DOOR-HARDTOP-43586) (Actually the one I saw had period correct aftermarket wheels.) ---

Today’s contestant: a late-'60s [MGB-GT](https://www.motorbiscuit.com/the-mgb-gt-could-out-race-the-original-shelby-gt350/), in pale yellow, like the illustrated vehicle. ---

I think it had a wing like part on the front of the hood, but it was not sticking up off the hood. ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > they were smaller and 4 of them. I think it had a wing like part on the front of the hood, but it was not sticking up off the hood. Four as in two on each side? [Like this](https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1964_Chevy_Belair/) (You might have to flip through the slide show to see the taillights)? I’m guessing a Chevy Biscayne or Bel Air. The more expensive Impala had six taillights, while the entry level Biscayne and mid level Bel Air had four. ---

An Aston Martin [DBS Superleggera](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2018_Aston_Martin_DBS_Superleggera_V12_Automatic_5.2_Front.jpg), a couple blocks from my place. I had no idea I lived in such an upscale neighborhood. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > A [McClaren 600LT](http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/1904-at-speed-2019-mclaren-600lt/), going a blistering 45 mph on Woodlands Parkway. I spotted a McLaren 600LT yesterday on GA-140. Also maintaining a sedate 3-miles-under-the-limit speed. I guessed that the driver assumes she has a huge target on her back for every cop around. Must have been frustrating to feel that engine rumble and throb, while being passed by my little 4-cylinder Mazda 3. ---

Yesterday we took the MG to Bellingham to have a drink with friends we haven’t seen in years. As we neared the brewery, a (Primrose?) yellow chrome-bumper MGB was coming from the other direction. We waved at each other. ---

I caught a brief glimpse of a Morgan 3-Wheeler this past Saturday going the opposite direction on the highway. That particular bit of highway, running through Gorst, WA, is a good place for car-spotting. It’s a bottleneck part of the only freeway running through a rural county where people like to take their special cars on a drive. I saw a legendary pink Mustang there last year. ---

This morning I saw a C1 Corvette. It was the four headlight version, so late 1950s or early 1960s. It was somewhat modified, with a lowered suspension and modern aftermarket wheels. I also saw some sort of Alfa Romeo, I’d guess from the 1960s or 70s. From looking at Wikipedia my best guess is that it was a [GT 1300 Junior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_105/115_Series_Coup%C3%A9s#GT_Junior_models). ---

Last night I stopped to get some take-out on the way home. As I was leaving the taqueria I spotted [this](https://flic.kr/p/2jfy2RC) [Ferrari](https://flic.kr/p/2jfAUoZ) in the parking lot, and circled the lot to snap those photos. My knowledge of exotics isn’t that extensive, but from looking at Wikipedia I think it’s a [Portofino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Portofino). ---

I loved the Mach 1. I don’t think the [Mach E](https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/2021/) is an acceptable replacement. ---

A 3rd generation AMC Rambler Classic (1965-66) 2-door convertible parking in a driveway a few blocks from our house. Looked in great shape, not showroom restored but definitely a well loved car. I’m just a few years older and wish I looked so good. ---

Driving home tonight I saw a Chrysler Prowler and later, a beautiful 69 Mustang convertible. Black with a white top.
