Lime-green Lamborghini at the gym today:
It’s almost more interesting that the Lamborghini is parked shoulder to shoulder in a full parking lot, squeezed in among the other cars like that.
Yes, I noticed that, too.
I always park at the end of the lot, so I can park up against a curb, protecting one side, and giving plenty of room on the other. And, I have side-steps that would prevent most cars from dinging me.
I do that too when it’s available. And for the same reasons.
On the first warm day of spring you’ve got to take top down on the LeBaron. Even if it was the last one off the assembly line, it’s at least 28 years old.
I saw an Isuzu Ascender. Never heard of that before. It’s an SUV. Here are images from a search.
It was pretty much just a badge engineered Chevy Trailblazer (I think all the vehicles Isuzu was selling in the US were just badge engineered GM SUVs/trucks by the 2000s), but the Isuzu versions were much less common.
Saw something I’ve never before seen on this continent - a 60’s era Trabant!
Antique plates, dirty, parked on a residential street like it was a daily driver.
Very cool!
Today I saw my first Rivian R1S, their SUV, and it was parked and I could walk around it and take pictures
I happened to check Google Street View just now and look what I found!
for a split-second I thought that was a pic of the trabant (colours and all that)
It seems like I always see interesting cars when I go to San Francisco, but when I went to the city today I saw a Waymo self driving car driving down the street with no driver.
Isuzu Trooper, 1st gen
The 1st generation was 1981-1991. The square headlights was 1987-1991.
Saw a new Audi A3 40 on the other side of the freeway today. I had to laugh. It has a really, really aggressive grill but looks like a mild sedan otherwise. It made me think of the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character (Taz) starting a crazy rampage, with the rest of the mild-mannered car hanging on for dear life. I’m not going to get that image out of my head soon.
Firebird. Wow. Just, wow.
In California, with NJ plates. Must’ve been a great road trip.
I just saw a beautiful white Aston Martin Vantage. We were stopped at a red light. I asked the driver to roll his windows down, to compliment him. He’s had it about to years.
I said: “No tickets!” 
He said: “Too late.”
One of my best friends has an Aston Martin Vanquish V12, and she has said many times I can drive it any time I want… but to date I haven’t taken up the offer. Two reasons… 1. I would be too cautious to enjoy it properly and 2. I’m afraid that once I have driven it my BMW will seem like a truck for evermore!
Nissan 350Z, red over black. Lovely exhaust note and a well-maintained car (or so it seemed).
Yesterday I drove in to the office for the first time in over a year. On the way home I saw several interesting cars:
- A 1990s Toyota Highace van, presumably imported from Japan.
- A Ferrari, I think probably a Portofino.
- An early-to-mid 1950s Ford Crestline, parked in the yard of the same house where I saw the 1954 Buick Special a few weeks ago. The Buick was still there, too, but it had a car cover over it (I assume that was what was under the car cover).
