Oh, I get that. I’m not a fan of the Mclaren’s looks, either. Every car you mentioned looks better.
Borrowed? As in, friend gave you the keys and you drove away in an Elise? I want a friend like that.
Pretty sure that is a 2020 Porsche Mission E Performance/Taycan.
Their first all electric car. Lots of the pictures you will find are of the prototype with the charge input in the front and thin side mirrors, but if you look at the newer pictures of the pre-production models they have moved the charge to the back (matches the flap in your picture) and made the mirrors bigger.
Sorry, I was busy and didn’t include a link.
The group at the top, the one on the right charging is a prototype, the ones on the left are pre-production. Scroll down to the photo next to fact #6 and the white one charging shows a pretty close angle to the shots you took.
A 1st-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee, very clean and running well, in white. Yesterday morning, driving NB on I-280 near Burlingame.
This morning I saw a Datsun 260Z that looked like it just came from the showroom. Super cool car. I didn’t realize until I just looked at Wikipedia that the 260Z was only sold in the US for one year, 1974.
As I was walking up to the grocery store today there was a “restified” 1966 GTO convertible driving through the parking lot. Beautiful body-wise, yellow with black top and interior. The seats did not look right, they looked like more modern seats with built in headrests. Also, it had modern rims which allowed some brake components to show and it appeared to be some upgrades. Didn’t get a good enough look to see if they had been converted to disc but if you are going to upgrade brakes on an old car, why not go all the way. The radio (or whatever sound system was installed) was blaring that horrible 50s-60s oldie music which all classic car shows feature and is my least favorite feature of classic car shows. 
A Maserati Ghibli with “Make America Great Again” and two large US flags painted on the hood.
Saw a beautiful late 50’s Chevy Nomad today. It looked pristine in light and dark turquoise. Well, not exactly turquoise but I don’t really know how to describe that type of blue. Wish I was in a car at the time. I would have followed it, hoping it would stop somewhere where I could get a better look.
I love when the warm weather brings out the cool cars.
The guy that lives near me was toodling around in his 1970 AMC Rebel “The Machine” again today. What an awesome musclecar to own. Produced only one year (1970) and had the most powerful production engine AMC would ever build in it.
Plus nothing screams “'Merica” like the paint job on his car. It looks exactly like this one:
Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, blue-skies, low humidity, mid-80°s day.
So then why, why, why would you be driving a convertible Solara with the top up & windows up, & (presumably) airco on on one of the most perfect days to own a convertible? 
:smack:
Today, I saw a Cobra going the other way; couldn’t tell it if was original or reproduction so I’m going with the Lambo sitting in the lot at the park. It was clean, except for the top of the wing, which was quite dirty.
Interesting.
I’d read about the Taycan, but didn’t know that there were actual working models on the streets. You’re probably right about that being the car, but they’ve done a pretty good job of disguising it.
Never owned a convertible, I take it? It can be a pretty miserable experience on “nice days” - sun broiling you while traffic is too slow to get decent air circulation. I found mine best to drive on nice evenings, when the sun couldn’t roast me, or early morning/twilight, and on warm days when it was overcast.
Yesterday I saw someone in a Mercedes convertible with the top down at around 2 in the afternoon with temps in the 90s, sitting in traffic. I smiled because I knew that while it looked cool, they had to be suffering.
Except it was pretty much perfect weather & they didn’t even have the windows open, which clearly indicated the airco was on. I was on a 50 mile drive somewhere, never waited more than one traffic light cycle so it was hardly rush hour traffic. :rolleyes:
A perfect replica (visually at least) of the 1967 Sox & Martin Plymouth GTX. I passed it on the highway so I didn’t a lot of chance to examine, but man did she look sweet. Professional graphics job.
Yesterday, another Porsche 911 Targa — the new Targa, 7th-gen 911, in blue. It was in San Carlos CA, parked next to a 1920 REO Speed Wagon(!). They are not common, and since 2014 I’ve only seen a handful of them out in ‘the wild’. I’ve posted about each of them in this thread. Maybe I’m a little intrigued by them? Not sure if I like them and would ever want one.
A history of all the ones I’ve seen:

Gold VW Sun Bug ('74?).
Saw a really sweet yellow T-Bird convertible in a Safeway parking lot yesterday.
And this afternoon in Willow Glen I saw…not sure of the make/model, but I felt I was seeing a rusty version of the cover of The Best of Joe Walsh come to life (complete with goggles!)
I saw a dark green Mercury Bobcat today. Brought back some not-so-fond memories of it’s near identical twin, the Ford Pinto. My best friend back in the day bought one as her first car. It was a real lemon and always needed work. That was pretty typical of Pintos and I suspect Bobcats weren’t much better. The seventies weren’t exactly Ford’s glory days, after all. The one I saw was running pretty rough but I’m really surprised it was running at all after some forty years.
A 1940’s Dodge sedan, I didn’t see enough to identify it except for the Dodge nameplate on the back and small rear window. Unfortunately, it appeared to be broken down on the side of the highway.
I drove a late 70s dark green Mercury Bobcat for a few years. The only problem with it was the latch that protruded when the back seat’s back was in the down position. It caught and tore my pants when we were trying to get back into the front seats quickly.
