I see Ghiblis now practically every time I drive to the north of where I live, (more upscale direction). They start at $70 some k, there’s a dealer nearby, area with lots of equally or more expensive Mercedes, BMW, Porsche etc., so not surprising they’ve become common.
Cars have to be at least $150k+ to be notable around here. A guy in the neighborhood sometimes parks his Lamborghini Huracan on the street, on an urban street, in what used to be a scruffy area though not really anymore. It would still give me a panic attack to do that, recalling dirt bags breaking my old Buick’s window to go through the glove compartment, though again that was years ago. I saw an Aventador the other day in valet parking section of the mall.
A guy at my parking garage has a Porsche 911 Turbo S. That’s a stealthy near super car. It’s almost $200k, over 200mph, gets some attention, but some Italian super brand models which get way more aren’t are fast.
I enjoy noticing the nice cars and sharing them here, and seeing what else is out there (or the unique or classic or super-exotic cars or other vehicle types, what have you). It’s a moment of joy in my day.
Thanks again to Telemark for this fun thread, I am enjoying it.
Today, a nice, green Triumph TR7. THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME.
A friend in HS had one of those. No idea which engine it had but it was underpowered and drove like a barge. But you could always find it in a parking lot.
Saw my first F-Pace in the wilds of rural Alberta on Sunday. I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of a Jag SUV but I may have to revise my opinion as it’s a much better looking car in person as opposed to pictures.
The opposite ends of the electric car spectrum; a BMW i8 in white with blue accents, and a Smart fortwo electric with the cutest little flames painted behind the front wheels.
This was a new one for me; a Citroën H Van, age indeterminate but it was produced from 1947-81. It was parked in front a community club in a gated area, very distinctive and out of place in the greater Boston area.
It looks like something out of Star Wars, like that garbage hauler thing in the very first one, from 1976, the one that collected R2D2 and C3PO. On a much smaller scale, of course.
I was wrong. It snowed again Monday night into Tuesday morning. On my morning commute, I saw a Corvette C7 battling the slippery, salty road alongside me in early rush hour traffic. What the heck?
Owner must have a lot of disposable income, is my guess.
Today a very (VERY!) nice Porsche 914-6 with a custom painted almost candy apple red (although a darker shade) and nice fender flares. Very sweet, quite rare.
