Thanks for that. I hadnā€™t seen that. I just got mine a week ago, so hopefully it doensā€™t have this issue, but Iā€™ll check with the dealer. Iā€™m leasing it, and so far Iā€™m very pleased with it. Lots of cool features (e.g., it has cameras all the way around, and when youā€™re going less than 5 mph, you can get a birdā€™s eye view of the car on screen, which is really nice when youā€™re parking). Surprisingly good interior room, including a really roomy back seat. And itā€™s fun to drive. Instant torque! Iā€™ll have to see how it ages, but after a week, itā€™s the most enjoyable car Iā€™ve ever had. ---

This was back on July 14, but I didnā€™t know what was going on then and just thought of searching for it today. A line of two dozen Lamborghinis, a lot of Aventadors but with others mixed in, on Bainbridge Island, WA. My wife and I were driving onto the island and the cars were heading off the island after coming from Seattle on the ferry. We had no idea what they were doing at the time but I found a story about it today: [ā€˜Life is ridiculousā€™: Why two dozen Lamborghinis rolled through downtown Seattle](http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/life-is-ridiculous-why-two-dozen-lamborghinis-rolled-through-downtown-seattle/) Like a man quoted in the story said, "I only wish my son was here.ā€ ---

I saw a car with Nunavut plates. There are no roads that connect Nunavut to the rest of the world ā€“ there are only airplanes and summer ships. Nunavut has 530 miles of roads spread over 787,155 square miles (with none of them actually connecting any communities), servicing 37,280 people, with 4,927 vehicles, and a population density of less than four one-hundredths of a person per square mile. There are about 17,000 polar bears in Nunavut ā€“ thatā€™s one people eating polar bear for every two people. The only let down was that a person rather than a polar bear was driving the car. ---

The annual collector car auction in Auburn, IN is just down the road from me so Iā€™ve seen quite a few interesting cars the last few days. The two that really caught my eye were pristine looking GM muscle cars. The first was a beautiful, [Teal Blue 67-68 Z/28 Camaro](http://www.69pace.com/images/Paint/1968_LL_tealblue/1968tealblue.jpg) and the other a [bright red 66-67 SS Chevelle.](http://cdn.barrett-jackson.com/staging/carlist/items/Fullsize/Cars/177278/177278_Rear_3-4_Web.JPG) The pictures linked are not the actual cars I saw, they are similar cars found on Google. The Camaro may have been an SS, it had stripes like the SS in the link. I did not attend the auction but I live near it and always see a bunch of cool old cars driving around the area. ---

It was moving too fast for me to identify it. It had the gas port behind the license plate, and as a gag, there was a gas nozzle and about 6 feet of gas hose sticking out of it. It was very eye catching!
