Yesterday I saw a 2023 70th Anniversary Corvette Stingray, pearly silver, with all the special badging attached, so pristine in appearance that if someone told me that it had never been driven and had been placed in that lot from the back of a flatbed I would have believed them.
I was behind a Saab 97x (Chevy Trailblazer, 2005-9) tonight. Had to do a doubletake on the badge.
On my walk today I saw a 1978-79 Dodge Magnum XE, a muscle car built to qualify for NASCAR. It was the last car to use the Chrysler B platform.
Late yesterday afternoon, I was in line at a stoplight, waiting to turn left onto an on-ramp to a tollway here in suburban Chicago. In front of me was a Tesla, and I realized that it had the “Tesla Plaid” emblem on it, like the below:
The Plaid trim level is allegedly the quickest-accelerating production car sold in America. And, sure enough, as that guy turned the corner, he punched it, wove through traffic on the ramp, and was easily doing over 80 by the time he got to the bottom of the ramp.
Somehow, I suspect that a lot of Plaid owners are asshat drivers.
Wow, you don’t see many Chrysler products from that era any more. That was when they were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, so they sold poorly when they were new as everyone except for the most loyal Mopar fans shied away from buying a car from a company that might not be around much longer. IIRC this car was the sporty Dodge branded twin of the Cordoba, which also used the B platform according to Wikipedia.
On my walk today I saw a black Saturn Sky parked in a driveway around the other side of the block. (Sorry no pics.) I gotta say, for a car that must be pushing 20 years old, it looked like it just rolled out of the showroom.
I mean, Dark Helmet wasn’t exactly a nice guy either.
427 Cobra replica of some type at the Alpine Visitor center at Rocky Mountain National Park.
Non stretched link.
I parked next to a black one today at the gym. I assume it was a replica. The owner was getting out, and I said “cute little car.” He replied “you could say that.”
On the highway my eye caught an unfamiliar logo on what looked like a Hyundai/Kia styled car. Turns out it was a Hyundai N Line Elantra with the ‘N’ logo replacing the Hyundai ‘H’ on the trunk. Or possibly a true N car, but I don’t know how to identify one.
I saw a pristine '69 Mustang Mach 1 at the drugstore today. I pulled over to get a picture, but the owner was in the car.
I assume this is not the same car, but it looked this good: https://www.americanmusclecarz.com/vehicles/9114/1969-ford-mustang-fastback-mach-1-r-code
I’d rather have the V-12 in the upper picture. 
It was nice to see this older truck still doing work towing a fifth wheel camper. It looks to be in great shape, and smells like French fries, so must be using biodiesel.
I saw a replica of John Milnar’s '32 Ford from American Graffiti at the liquor store today.
The real thing:
I saw a white 2 door Rolls Royce with suicide doors and white factory 24’s. The owner stopped for a drink at a bar during a cruise in. I’ve never seen the retractable hood ornament retract. pretty neat. It had a V-12. Not too many cars can exude luxury, speed and style sitting still.
for those who aren’t familiar with Rolls Royce, the wheel hubs with the famous RR symbol remain stationary and the wheel spins around them. You can tell it’s a Rolls Royce by the wheels as it quietly glides past you with the twin turbo v12. The engine is built for response so it “only” makes 575 hp but 850 lbs of torque. The headliner is lit like the night sky and you can order custom constellations for it.
I spotted this pair yesterday. I mostly thought the contrast between the burly old school SUV and the modern crossover behind it was interesting.
Except that the older vehicle isn’t even an old school suv. It is just a standard 2-door pickup (Chevy 1500) with a top over the bed.
Huh, so it is. The color matches so well I didn’t even notice it wasn’t part of the vehicle itself.
I fairness, that’s pretty much what old SUVs were – essentially pickups with the part where the bed would be enclosed.
No matter how old it is, I don’t think it counts as an SUV if there is only row of seats.
