I saw a Lamborghini on the 404 today.
Images: silver Maserati Granturismo. Yes - beautiful!
Where is the 404 you refer to?
They are way cool, yes. The first car I ever owned was a Fiat, a 1979 X1/9, so I have a soft spot for the cars from Turin.
And the 500 commercials are nice, too. Images: ‘Catrinel Menghia Fiat 500 Abarth commercial’ – CAUTION, some results NSFW.
Interesting tidbit about that model, Catrinel Menghia: she is Romanian and not Italian.
Comes down from the northern suburbs into east-central Toronto.
I was on a bus and I happened to look down and there it was, in dark silvery grey. I’m not sure what model it was.
And today, I saw a Rolls-Royce parked in front of a bank in Port Credit, Ontario.
Maserati Ghilbli Q4 in white. Followed it in traffic on the way home, sweet looking car, I’ve seen a few around here but I think most weren’t Q4 models.
An Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire, blue, with all the chrome missing.
Saw my first Texas car with a license number beginning with F. Must have been from out of town, people were staggering out of all four doors, and doing stretching exercises with relief in the WalMart parking lot.
Thanks, was just curious.
This afternoon in Palo Alto, an orange BMW 2002tii in excellent condition. ETA: It was driving past me, oncoming, and so I only got a brief glance at it. The tii was clear on the rear deck lid as it went past. It was a very clean car, I wish it was parked and I could oggle at it some more.
I saw a black Ferrari, didn’t get a close/long enough look to get the model. Weird seeing those in Northwest PA
A restored 30s-vintage pickup truck. Didn’t catch the make.
Yesterday in Shanghai I saw one, an ivory Granturismo. Beautiful, curvaceous, stylish.
Also spotted in Shanghai: Buicks are popular here, there are many. I also saw a couple of Chevys, but for GM that was about it. Several Audis, a couple of Porsche Cayennes, exactly one 911 and so far no other Porsches. Many Hyundais. And many Mercedes-Benzes and VWs too.
Saw a Plymouth Belvedere wagon in the parking lot of a diner that I stopped at for lunch yesterday. That was unusual.
Just looked at the Wiki. I would be stunned if it really could take a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Certainly not laying flat with the hatch down.
Hatch open maybe? Plywood on an angle?

I guess that means you need to leave the lower part of the tailgate down to get enough length.
Huh. That’s kind of impressive. The Jeep Grand or my Pathfinder does not have a full 4 feet between the inside wheel wells. Not to lay flat anyway.
It was a really neat feature for a car like that. Older minivans used to be able to do this as well, but I guess it wasn’t as valuable to customers as other creature comforts.
FoieGrasIsEvil might chime in and tell us if that’s true or not. He owns one, and what’s more, he publicly admits it. 
Almost forgot to enter this one: yesterday, in Shanghal, an MG hatchback called the MG3. Living in the USA, the only MGs I’ve seen there are 1970s and 1980s MGBs, and then older MGs. MG still makes cars now, and in searching a little they also make the MG6.
