Today, drove alongside one of those huge Fiat 500s. In beige no less. Yuck! Refrigerators are more attractive IMO. ---

A nicely maintained black 1968 Chevy Caprice zipped by me on the freeway this morning. The 3 round taillight type. Another example of a car body shape that just gets to me. Low profile, seemingly, but actually quite wide and long so really a very large car. Fine car for cruisin’. ---

A white Lotus Esprit. It was on the other side of the freeway, so I couldn’t tell if it was a turbo or not. ---

A Sprinter van of a mobile doggy wash/groomer w/ **four** separate A/C units on the roof. Four of 'em? Do they really need four of 'em? ---

I was at the Silicon Valley Auto Show in San Jose yesterday. Some nice cars, and we’re looking for electric for my wife. Yes, she wants a golf cart. We liked the Tesla 3 and the Chevy Bolt. ---

Yes, she wants a golf cart. > > We liked the Tesla 3 and the Chevy Bolt. We have a Bolt and I like it a lot. Roomier inside than it looks; silent; and instant torque at any speed. Fun! I did notice the expected range dropped a _lot_ during the recent cold snap we had here in Missouri. In the middle of the summer, the expected range on a full charge was around 240 miles. In the recent string of days with sub-10-degree temperatures, the expected range went down to 140 miles. That’s still plenty for us, just kind of surprising to see such a steep drop. Luckily, that kind of cold snap is very uncommon in this area. Even with that issue, I still love the car. ---

A white Lamborghini Aventador, in downtown San Carlos. And then a blue 1967 Pontiac Firebird in the evening commute on Highway 101. ---

Two on my walk this morning: Sixth Generation (1967-70) Cadillac Eldorado. Wow, those doors were long, and the trunk and hood seem to go on forever. A Maserati Ghibli SQ4, probably out because of the nice weather. ---

It was actually yesterday, but coming home from work I passed a [Fisker Karma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisker_Karma). Considering they only sold 1800 of them, back in 2012, I certainly didn’t expect to see one driving through Sacramento of all places… ---

I just saw a late 70s Caddilac Opera Coupe, just like this one ([http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/09/seville-grandeur-opera-coupe.jpg-courtesy-flickr.jpg](http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/09/seville-grandeur-opera-coupe.jpg-courtesy-flickr.jpg)), except the one I saw was white and a little rough around the edges. Those were ugly, ridiculous cars. ---

I have a coworker selling a 1994 Alfa Romeo 164 LS with an engine designed by a Fiat, then Ferrari, designer. The engine was built at Ferrari. Apparently only 300 were imported. Hmmm. It’s making me wish my money wasn’t allocated elsewhere. ---

First generation Mustang, couldn’t tell the particulars as it was dark out. Why it was outside in the Boston winter I have no idea.
