Several this weekend. The first was an Aston Martin Vantage on the drive down to the cape. Next was a Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird but that doesn’t really count since I saw the same car last year. Then a Corvair, not fully restored but it looked like a fun car to drive around Provincetown on a Saturday night.
A '73 or so Ford Pinto wagon, similar to one I had way back when. I quess they haven’t all exploded in a massive fireball after all.
I forgot the BEAUTIFUL Dodge Powerwagon from the 60’s, in brilliant red, with a huge American flag (for Labor Day?) on the back, at the beach.
I live very close to the annual Labor Day weekend collector car auction in Auburn In. Saw a few nice ones driving around this weekend. Best one was a very nice 65 GTO hardtop. Gold with Cragar SS wheels. Not stock but period correct. Also very nice was a “restified” 66 or 67 Chevelle that sounded really badass. Another good one was an all black SS Camaro, likely a 70. Didn’get too good a look, it was driving the other way down a two lane highway but from what I saw it was very nice looking.
In the past I used to see some of the older stuff, Duesenbergs, Cords, Auburn’s, stuff like that driving around but haven’t seen them so much the last few years. Maybe getting too valuable to risk on public roads.
A white Ford Model T truck.
The weather this week is perfect for open motoring, so I got the Spitfire out of storage and put the Bolt in it’s place for a bit.
Mercedes S63 AMG cabrio - parked (in front of a 5-star hotel), top down.
54 Chevy BelAir hardtop at the golf course. My buddy’s, but I hadn’t seen it is a while. In near perfect shape.
It feels like Bike Week at Daytona by my house. A whole lot of testing going on by a whole lotta marques. I think the cops have caught on though; they started prowling around last night. Easily identified were the Honda CBR300R, Suzuki GSX-R600 and a GSX-R750. There was an old Triumph too, but I didn’t recognize the model. I need to see some cars now.
A banner day for me yesterday. The weather in Edmonton was lovely and within minutes of each other I saw an orangeBricklin SV-1 and a Huracan Spyder in orange. Orange cars are cool.
Not me, but one of my students saw and snapped a picture of a lovely Pantera at a gas station yesterday. I would love to have one of those, but they’re just a bit outside my budget 
Coming home from the store today, Mrs R and I saw a Panhard PL17 buzzing along a couple cars ahead of us. Adorable little thing.
They were built from 1959 to 1964, and have an air-cooled twin of maybe 42 horsepower driving the front wheels. They’re very light; there’s a lot of aluminum in the body.
I spotted a pale yellow 2nd generation (1968-72) Chevelle in decent but not restored condition on my commute home.
My dad was friendly with the Briklins; that never got me a car (or even a ride in one), though.
As for me, I saw a Bentley Bentayga SUV driving down the road today.
Checking with friends who work at Castrol Raceway. I’m curious if it ever shows up for track days up there.
In stop-and-go traffic yesterday I pull up behind a stopped minivan. Traffic is at a standstill and I noticed the minivan has a BMW logo on it.
“BMW now makes a minivan?”, I ask myself.
Introducing the new BMW X7. They call it their luxury SUV. From web pics it looks like a large SUV.
But IRL, from behind it, it screams minivan.
A Kia Telluride - they were just introduced in February and although I’ve probably seen one before I never really noticed it until now. Meh, uninspiring but not offensive styling. It’s a bit too boxy for my tastes but probably practical if you need a bigger SUV.
No idea, but I’d love to hear that thing spool up and rage! When they did Race the Base here a few years ago it was automotive nirvana. Nothing like watching an Enzo race an F-18 in a mile race.
Was in traffic behind a Porsche Cayman today. I was amazed that I could look thru the back window & see the entire circle of the air vent of the dashboard; not used to rear glass that low.
I sent the picture to my friend King of Citroens, and (of course) he knew the owner. Said the car was bought by Grandpa back in the Sixties, and has been passed down father-to-son.
