Sorry, I was wondering if you own a Bullett Mustang. ---

I wish I did but no I don’t. I was just joking because of my user name. ---

1950something Lincoln: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52782136097_fb94d62345_b.jpg "Lincoln") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/66423490@N08/52782136097/) I don’t know how well it shows up in the picture, but given how scratched up the paint is, the rust on the rear bumper, and the weathered license plate, it’s possible this car is a genuine unrestored survivor. Or maybe just a car that was restored like 30 years ago. ---

Oh yeah, it was just a sideswipe. But it was noticeable. All of us on the bus were looking at each other like “Did something just hit the bus?” and then the driver announced that he had to stop the bus because a car had hit us. The car had taken off. ---

At the Koi (as in fish) Show today, a couple of Lamborghinis and a McLaren (hmmm…kind of odd that the images don’t fully display on the page. Is there a width limit when posting pics?)

Saw this today, and I’m only now noticing the paint on the side isn’t a random design, but it’s what initially caught my attention. Then as he started moving, the thing sounded like a diesel with a turbo that spun down every time he took his foot off the gas. I believe it’s a Challenger SRT.

Nothing too interesting, but I did see a first generation Acura Integra on the road today, in nice condition for a 34+ year old car. And it was completely stock – so many of those cars got modified when they reached the age where they were just cheap used cars. ---
