Got passed by [Yoda’s head](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfuFsaDUUAE86j_.jpg) on my way to work yesterday. He didn’t have his ears, which probably aren’t capable of freeway speeds, or street legal for that matter. ---

I was driving my daughter to a class tonight (same place as last week) and mentioned the truck. She said “Oh yeah, that’s often there at such-and-such restaurant, and the truck is a replica not a real one”. Still bizarre. About 2 minutes later, however we saw the [Wienermobile](http://www.oscarmayer.com/wienermobile):D. It was about two blocks in front of us, and passed on the street perpendicular to the one we were on. I’d seen it once before, a couple decades ago (I think it was on the Beltway but I could be misremembering). (Oh, and I saw the truck / horse again too). ---

A Fiat X1/9, which will always hold a special place in my heart because my very first car that I ever owned was an X1/9. This one was white, including the targa top which is usually black, so the entire car was white. ---

I admit that some days I don’t even look for interesting cars to post about. But some days I get lucky. One of the engineers in my building drove her AC (Shelby) Cobra to work today. ---
