> [@Telemark](#): > > Bentley Continental in jet black, driving like an asshole. A rich asshole at that. The worst kind. Today, a 1965 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. In pink! Very clean, very nice, pink Cadillac. I wasn’t close enough to see if it had crushed velvet seats. _Honey I just wonder what you do there in the back of your pink Cadillac. Pink Cadillac._ ---

Today was a beautiful day here, bright and sunny, not too hot, not too cold - a real Goldilocks day. A guy in a convertible, top down, drove past. It was a clean, well-maintained, white 1963 Ford Falcon. Pretty. ---

Just saw a nicely restored 63 Sunbeam Alpine. It was beautiful. All the bodywork from the factory was blended so it appears as one continuous sheet of steel. Lovely cars. ---

Saw a French VW - a Citroen 2CV on I-5 going about 65mph. Didn’t know they could go that fast since it was one of early corregated iron body examples. ---

Tesla Type X - almost blended into the traffic but the badge still catches my eye. I see Type S cars every day, but this is only the 2nd or 3rd Type X that I’ve seen in the wild. ---

I see Type S cars every day, but this is only the 2nd or 3rd Type X that I’ve seen in the wild. Yeah, i’ve only seen one that i can remember. Model S, though, are all over the place these days. ---

A 1962 or '63 Ford Galaxie 500, nicely restored. Man, a family of 5 could live in that trunk… ---
