Yesterday i saw what I am assuming is some customized vehicle that looked like the bastard child of a Toyota RAV4 and a Bentley. All SUV in the back, luxury look of a sedan with sleek lines in the front. It was a disturbingly odd combination. ---

Not today, but almost 2 years ago, I was in the “factory” that was building the [Terafugia Transition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnF2yua4KIw) . There were a couple versions plus one being tested. At the time they said they had already flown them. They are cute little 2-seaters but I wouldn’t want to drive them around town – the wings blocked a lot of the sides. [QUOTE=GuanoLad] A 1959 Cadillac Eldorado. It’s parked just down the road from me and looks absurd. [/QUOTE] It’s a Cadillac – they _all_ look absurd. ---

Dang. I want that pink Caddie Tee. Today I was cut off by a Willys Jeep, with a really clueless driver. ---

Saw a [Polaris Slingshot](http://polaris.hs.llnwd.net/o40/slg/2017/img/vehicle/overview/media-viewer/modal/slingshot/slingshot-image-5.xs.jpg) today - they look even more weird in person. ---

An ugly duckling siting, a Citroën 2CV. The Citroën Deux Chevaux. Ugly? I think it’s kind of cute, in an odd and quirky way. ---

Cadillac XLR in St. Michaels, MD. (Note to owner: Clean your car every now and then, you lazy slob.) I could never decide whether or not I like the XLR. I like that it’s a unique design. But it may be one of the most uniquely ugly cars ever produced. ---

Yesterday I saw the Planter’s Peanuts [Nutmobile](http://www.planters.com/nutmobile). I walked all around it and noticed the Wisconsin license plate PLANTRS. It was parked at the Hertz Rent-A-Car on River Street in Hackensack, New Jersey. A young man came out of the Hertz, went into the car and drove off. Talking about our surreal experiences.

A great looking Studebaker Avanti. And I say great looking as in great condition; I still think they look like insects. ---

A 1980s Toyota MR2 – the 1st generation. Boy, cars from the 1980s sure were boxy. ---

> [@Telemark](#): > > A great looking Studebaker Avanti. And I say great looking as in great condition; I still think they look like insects. I saw one for the first time last week in a dealer garage, cute lil bug-faced thing. It was near a monstrous silver '53 Buick Super 8 Wagon that made everything around it look like feeder fish. ---

Apparently [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq6gyUovEJU) happened in Seattle a few days ago. I’m not sure that “interesting” is the word the car’s owner would use to describe the situation. 🙂 ---

Seen in Pismo the last couple of days: a nice little red [Corvette](https://goo.gl/photos/Lp51ARPVDCkyXTHr8)('61?) and a sort of cool-looking [electric runabout](https://goo.gl/photos/4pu9n7nZAgWL3Psq9) with horns tie-wrapped to the headlights. ---
