Cool car. L-78?
I took a closer look at some online images, and I think it had to be a Nova based on the placement of the “SS” badge on the rear end.
Actually I’m not sure if mine had a solid-lifter.
I just saw a truck drive by, towing a cylindrical device with doors, and a sign that said “Danger, live bear, keep away.”
As I was walking in from putting things in the Prius, which is parked on the street, a Canadian guy came up the hill in an immaculate 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. He stopped and said, ‘Since you wouldn’t sell me your MGB, I had to buy this.’
Not sure when or where I met him.
Last night at the Home Depot in Newport Beach, this classic, well loved and well used… a 1955 Willys Utility Pickup

I’ve been hanging out with some Chevy Corvette fans recently and a couple of them are good friends of mine.
Have any of all y’all heard of the acronym WYAIFG? Any idea what that means?
Tried to search, but all I came up with is that it’s the license plate for a 1996 Corvette in Kentucky.
Beats Me.
I did some digging and it means, I kid you not, Wrap Your Ass In FiberGlass. Which, in the context of Corvette ownership, makes sense. Still pretty stupid, but it’s not on my car so different strokes, as they say.
Seen at the Costco today.
1952 Dodge Coronet
I talked to a woman driving a very nice Triumph Herald this morning. The car looked like this, but this is a stock photo:
I had a 1962 Triumph Herald 1600. It needed restoring (paint), but it ran great.
Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition, at the local super market. Love the vanity plate.
Although I suppose readers of this thread aren’t too likely to fall into this category, for anyone not familiar with Formula One, the Vantage is one of the Safety Cars for the series. (The other is a Mercedes.)
I did not know that.
We have a winner, folks!
The Benelli TRK 502X adventure tourer — the big (in its stance, if not engine displacement) dual sport from Italy.
Benelli comes from Pesaro, Marche, Italy, yet another motor company from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna motor region. Originally founded in 1911 in Pesaro, Benelli produced their first motorcycle in 1921 and is the second oldest Italian motorcycle company still in business (Moto Guzzi, established in 1921, is the oldest motorcycle factory in non-stop operation). The original six Benelli brothers were Giuseppe, Giovanni, Francesco, Filippo, Domenico and Antonio (“Tonino”). The Benelli TRK dual-sports were introduced in 2017, and this TRK 502X is a side-by-side twin with 4 valves per cylinder. In 2020, 2021, and 2022 the Benelli TRK was the best-selling motorcycle on the Italian market.
The Benelli TRK 502X just might be the best value motorcycle in the lite ADV-touring sector available today.
This is a pretty nice package!
No pics because I was driving, but a 2nd generation (1979-86, Fox platform) Mercury Capri RS. Not bad looking for a 40 year old car, but still a Mustang.
I’m not sure how long they’ve been out, but I’m pretty sure I just saw my first electric Silverado.
