Funnily enough today I saw a bright yellow 1970s VW Beetle Cabriolet… with the top up. I’m sure the driver had their reasons, but I found it funny that someone with a convertible would drive it with the top up on a warm sunny day like today. ---

The other day I saw: 90s MG RV8 AC Cobra (most probably a replica) Nothing interesting today though ---

There were a few beautiful days earlier this week and I saw a 20ish young man driving a very nice 53ish Ford and just yesterday I saw a 60-somethign guy driving a silver/grey 69 Camaro z28. ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > a real US Army Jeep Before I moved to Washington, I had a 1946 Willys CJ2A. Since there was nothing out there on them, I created [The CJ2A Page](https://www.thecj2apage.com). I lost my job in 2003, and had just closed on my house. The next several years were… difficult. I didn’t have the resources to bring the jeep up, and didn’t have the time to maintain the page; so I sold the jeep, and I gave away the webpage to someone who kept much of what I created and then improved upon it. Here’s my jeep when I owned it, parked near my apartment in L.A. [https://www.thecj2apage.com/1946\_willys\_cj2a/jw46.html](https://www.thecj2apage.com/1946_willys_cj2a/jw46.html) ETA: CJs are ‘Civilian Jeeps’, but except for having a tailgate and an ignition key, they’re like the Willys MB/Ford GPW. ---

My brother just bought a [2021 Audi S5 Sportback Prestige](https://www.caranddriver.com/audi/s5-sportback). I don’t know that I’d call it particularly “interesting”. In fact, it’s kind of ugly, IMO. But I’m a fan of this segment of performance/sport sedans and I love the hatchback type trunk. So I don’t hate it and it will no doubt be a fun car to drive daily. ---

I wouldn’t call it ‘ugly’, but I don’t like those gigantic grilles they have on cars nowadays. ---

That’s my pet peeve as well. And the body creases on the current Audi styling “language” is just so overdone. ---

A well-cared-for Dodge Stealth R/T in red. That was the full twin turbo, AWD, AWS version. It had what looked like slightly oversized wheels/rims which I think threw off the sleek proportions a bit but still a cool car. ---

Forgot to post last Sunday when I saw an unrestored but very solid Ford Pinto. I think it was one of the last model years, it was definitely uglier than the mid seventies ones I had back in the day. ---

A really well-maintained [**Avanti**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Avanti) with narrow sidewall tires that made the car look really odd, and it’s odd enough already. I wanted to turn around and follow the driver so I could quiz him about the car but I was about to be late for an appointment so I reined in the impulse. Sigh. ---
