Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible. [But in white](http://www.bentleymotors.com/content/dam/bentley/Master/Models/Gallery/Continental_GT_Speed_Convertible/Continental_GT_Speed_Convertible_Gallery_Hero1A_1398x699.jpg/_jcr_content/renditions/original./Continental_GT_Speed_Convertible_Gallery_Hero1A_1398x699.jpg) The top was up because it’s pretty cold here but it’s a really pretty car. ---

I didn’t see this in person but if you like carporn; 1965 AWD Mustang with 845 hp. > **[Gymkhana 7: Ken Block Takes Over LA With An 845 HP AWD Mustang](https://jalopnik.com/gymkhana-7-ken-block-takes-over-la-with-an-845-hp-awd-1659587011)** > > Take one mad shoe-magnate-turned-auto-racer. Add an 845 horsepower all-wheel-drive 1965 Ford Mustang. Call it the Hoonicorn. Sprinkle in a touch of insanity and a humongous heaping of tire smoke. This is Gymkhana 7. ---

Those are the photos I looked at before posting my contribution. I passed it in traffic on the highway so I didn’t get a good look, but it’s wasn’t a favorable impression. Yesterday afternoon at LAX airport’s Terminal 6 I saw one drive past. Me, standing on the arrivals sidewalk, and it, driving by at about 25 mph. As **Telemark** said, an awkward looking little car. To me it screams _ **I’m-a-mini-Pontiac-Aztek-with-a-roundel!** _ (Hello, **FoieGrasIsEvil**!) 😃 ---

**Boogly** , you just made my day! That Mustang is everything Elanor from GI60S isn’t. It’s so ugly it’s beautiful, like an A-10. ---

What a beast. I must say, though, that i’m beginning to find these Ken Block videos a bit of a yawn. “Let’s shut down important thoroughfares in a big city so that i can drive donuts around various objects and show it to you from seven different angles in slow motion.” ---

Two, yesterday. First was a [Mitsubishi i-MiEV](http://www.caranddriver.com/mitsubishi/i-miev), which manages to make the BMW electric car look sleek. The other was parking across the street from a friend’s house - a late 60’s Ford Falcon Futura. ---

Modern Dodge Challenger - black w/ red wide racing strip down the hood/roof. Inner headlights & fog lights were red. I’m not saying it was eeevil looking, but after seeing that, I was ready to walk up to Christine & say, “Who’s a pretty car? Who wants a widdle wuvin’ & a skritch on the fins?” ---

Went to a funeral today. The hearse was for show; it was empty in the back. Casket was in the bed of the next vehicle; a ['52 pickup](https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdupq5opykefe4j/Casket%20in%20pickup.pdf). ---

I wonder if you could get that Caddy hearse with the 500 hp engine in the CTS-V? I’m thinking you could get a wicked looking hotrod out of that. ---

Tonight (Thanksgiving night) in San Francisco on 19th Avenue on my way home, driving south at around 11pm: a 1960s vintage Austin Healey 3000 convertible, ivory colored. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! ---

In Brooklyn this weekend I spotted a 1965 (or so) Pontiac Bonneville wagon. [http://www.pontiacsonline.com/ZAF%2065%20BONNE%20TTSS.jpg](http://www.pontiacsonline.com/ZAF%2065%20BONNE%20TTSS.jpg) I linked to that picture because the main thing I could see was the tailgate. I think we had one of those growing up. ---
