I don’t want to think about the cost of new tires for that thing. ---

I saw something that looked like a miniature, slightly misshapen, Miata. Right-hand drive. No idea what it was. ---

I spotted a loooong 10-passenger stretch limousine, a black Lincoln Town Car convserion. Not too unusual but this one had private vehicle license plates instead of livery you’d see on far more common for-hire cars. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I saw something that looked like a miniature, slightly misshapen, Miata. Right-hand drive. No idea what it was. Sounds like a Japanese kei sports car someone imported to the US. Maybe a [Honda Beat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Beat) or [Suzuki Cappuccino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Cappuccino)? ---

I think it may have been the Suzuki. ---

Similar look, the the top and rear window looked more like the Suzuki. ---

Earlier this morning, 7am, while driving my niece to SFO airport on highway US-101 we passed at least 30 cars with flat tires. At first we thought some truck dropped a box of nails, but later on new radio it turned out to be bad potholes caused by the heavy rains. At 0845 I doubled back to shoot these pictures. Several cars were still there and the CHP blocked off the two median lanes where water had collected and caused the potholes.

A 7th generation (1973-91) Chevy Suburban, but this must be after 1987 since it has a “Fuel Injection” badge. Pretty good shape for a vehicle of that era on salty New England roads.

There was a first generation VW GTI parked on the street when I was leaving to pick up my lunch order today. I was thinking I’d take some pictures of it when I got back. Then on my way back when I got a few blocks from home I saw it driving down the street. I guess I should have taken the pictures when I had the chance. ---

Saw a what I believe was a Chevrolet Aveo in what my brain saw as an absolutely stunning turquoise. After googling, Chevrolet calls it aqua. Very unique car color. ---
