I saw a Maserati parked near Peterborough Square this afternoon. 🙂 ---

What I’m sure was a 70s vintage Porsche 914. Boxy rear end looking more like a Sunbeam than a Porsche. ---

Yesterday, I saw a nun, in full “penguin” outfit, driving an emerald-green Nissan Cube. _blink_ ---

This morning it was an Audi S4 with Alaska plates, here in Boston. Is there any place to driver a performance oriented car in Alaska? ---

Had lunch with a friend the other day. He recently bought an Audi SQ5, brown leather interior and metallic black paint. Very nice. That metallic black paint sparkles, and it has flecks of blue, green, purple and some other colors in it. ---

The highway from Anchorage to Palmer is four lane divided, so you could probably get some fun going there, although the highway patrol cruises there also. ---

Everything at the [DE](http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=fo3ksp&s=8#.VUJK3Bt0w5g). That’s a McLaren in the garage but my favorite was the '15 GTS. Very sweet. ---

The other day I saw a 1912 Stutz Bearcat or something similar. Something about it made me think it was a replica, [like this](http://www.mclellansautomotive.com/photos/F7717.jpg). I only got a quick look at it so can’t be too sure. The one I saw was red, though. I love this time of year when the cool old cars start coming out after a long winter’s hibernation. ---

There is a 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible for sale up the road. It looks to be in pretty rough shape (and a hideous brown color), but man, I seriously want to buy that car and do a resto-mod on it! ---

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, - early 1960s, maybe 1961 or 1962. It was white, not red. ---

I saw a running Saab 96 today. It wasn’t running fast, but it was making progress down the street. I haven’t seen one of those in years. ---

> [@carnut](#): > > I saw a running Saab 96 today. It wasn’t running fast, but it was making progress down the street. I haven’t seen one of those in years. Growing up in Upstate New York, my friend’s dad had one while my dad had Buicks. The Saab looked funny, until in the winter snows it ran circles around the GMs with its front-engined, front wheel drive advantage. ---

I’m out in Seattle on business and spotted a VW Thing that really caught my eye. But there were also many Maserati and Ferrari models in the high tech parking lots. ---

Two Jaguar F-Types today, one convertible, one not. Darn that’s a sweet looking ride. ---

BMW 525i station wagon; circa 1993, a clean and well-running example. From the license plate sequencing (3CBY—, in California) and a look at the driver it’s my guess she is the original owner and has owned this car since she bought it new off the lot 22 years ago. I can appreciate that. ---

I saw a weird little 3 wheel car today. One wheel in front, 2 in back. It looked fairly late model, but I didn’t recognize the make. I couldn’t quite catch up to read the nameplate before it turned. ---

A new Bentley convertible, weaving in and out of traffic like a boss, during the morning commute. ---
