Lamborghini Aventador, in black, this morning around 0830 in San Francisco on Geary Blvd., at the Chinese Consulate office.
Then later that night I went to AT&T Park, ***where the Giants won the pennant!!!
GO GIANTS!!!***
(And oh yeah in front of the ballpark before the game there was a sport bike (motorcycle) painted in SF Giants black & orange.)
GO GIANTS!!!
Oh my. Never seen one of those but I really like it! Wikipedia reveals it’s powered by a supercharged LS-9 Corvette mill that produces 640 horsepower and over 600 foot pounds of torque.
OK, so now when I get rich I have TWO cars to buy. The Eleanor Mustang and one of these.
A 1967 Thunderbird. Don’t see many of those on the road.
There’s a Triumph TR250 just sitting in the parking lot of a muffler place not to far from my house. Nice little car…
Today I saw a Hillman Imp, in what looked like mint condition. It’s quite a pleasing wee machine to look at.
Pontiac Aztek, just now, in Rancho Cordova, CA.
Really? I didnt’t think anyone still drove those.
There is a diesel Chevette for sale on Craigslist near me. It’s cheap and in good shape. I’m drooling, but why would I need five vehicles? I guess four is enough for one guy.
(yes, I like bizarre, wretched vehicles of certain kinds)
Say my name!
You’re goddamn right.

A cousin took me along to look at one. Of the people aware of Azteks, it seems there are people who hate the looks and people that own and love them. It fell onto her radar because it was in her price range but she hadn’t researched them at all. I told her to google “ugliest car” and call me back; she was stunned how often the Aztek was mentioned. Ironically, I regret coloring her perception - the car was a good price, in very good shape, and a decent fit for her and her two kids, but all she saw was an ugly car after reading up on it.
We followed behind the Aztek for a while. It looks like it has decent interior space in a not-too-big platform. Wikipedia says you can put a full 4’ X 8’ sheet of plywood inside it, and they’re either FWD or AWD.
Yesterday, a Buick Riviera - first generation, 1963-1965 vintage (like in this photo). It was silver/gray, driving past on California Avenue in Reno NV around 5:30pm while I was inside a restaurant (Dynasty Chinese), and for the brief 1-2 seconds I had to see it, she looked to be in excellent condition.
BWM i3 - awkward looking little car, IMO looks better in photos than in person.
I hope you’re wrong because the photos aren’t that flattering.
Sadly, no. Those are the photos I looked at before posting my contribution. I passed it in traffic on the highway so I didn’t get a good look, but it’s wasn’t a favorable impression.
Saw a Lime green Lotus Exige with a black spoiler in Edmonton Saturday. Pretty little car…
Yesterday, in New Cuyama, CA (vicinity of 4640 Morales St.), a 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. Not in great shape, well worn.
When I was a teenager my parents had one. That was the “nice” car in the family, so I only got to drive it on special occassions, like taking my girlfriend to the prom or a special date. Otherwise, it was the 1969 Buick Skylark that I drove. But I digress…
But this car, in New Cuyama (tiny little town), was unique: it was lifted, I mean really lifted, on 35" all terrain tires. :eek:
A beautiful red Suzuki Cappuccino in a supermarket carpark: still a lovely car nearly 25 years on, but dear God they are tiny.
Saw a '47 Woody, just like this one.
I see lots and lots of Fiat 500’s everywhere. But not very many Abarths. Was behind one at a light and when it turned green the guy stepped on it a bit and the exhaust noise was very aggressive and very Italian. Saw another one, the next day and it had the same exhaust note. So that’s standard sound track for an Abarth. Which is way cool. 
Going to St Albert Saturday saw a brand spanking new Maserati Gran Turismo in silver. Damn, but that is one pretty, pretty car.
