Also a Fiat X1/9 (approx 1977?). And an MG Midget 1500. Very small.
A Ferrari Portofino in black, which actually made it look rather unremarkable on the highway.
And another 2nd generation Corvette, this time in powder blue.
Really? Are you sure it wasn’t a California?
I was under the impression that US models don’t even arrive in the country until next summer. And according to this article, even European buyers can’t get them until early in the new year.
Not a big vette fan but I parked next to one today at the grocery store, red, 3rd generation 1970ish. Not even pristine, some bubbling under the paint, still so iconic, probably the sexiest thing ever on wheels. I don’t see them often.
You’re probably right. It passed me on a crowded highway and I tried to look it up online afterwards.
Yes, but the journalists need an early crack at it to promote it in their rags. I bet somebody for Autoweek or R&T was driving.
I saw a really pretty car on the road today that I didn’t recognize. As I get close I see its a Tesla. It’s the first time ive seen one irl. Pretty sweet.
That’s pretty amazing to me. I see a half dozen on each leg of my commute every day, often more.
In the US?
I understand that automotive journalists get to drive the cars early, but i’d be pretty surprised if there were Portofinos already in America for that purpose, given that the car isn’t due here for at least six months. I was under the impression that they usually bring the American journalists to the car, in Europe, for these sorts of pre-launch drives.
Pretty amazing how? Just the fact that I’d never seen one before? If so, keep in mind I live in Flint MI. Not exactly a cosmopolitan area. 
Yes, exactly that. They’re an amazingly common sight here (Boston area) and I was quite shocked to know there are still places in the US where seeing one is a rare event.
Saw my first Lexus LC500(Just likethis one) the other day. Damn, but that’s a sweet looking ride. I’m not a fan of the gaping maw on most of their other cars but it works on this one and the IS-F.
Triumph TR6, on the streets of Cambridge MA in the middle of a Halloween celebration.
When I was out trick or treating with my kids, I caught a glimpse of a cream and green Model A in a neighbor’s garage. They were just closing the garage door as we walked up. The guy said it was a 1930. Looked beautiful.
I saw an 80s BMW M6 yesterday, which is one of my favorite old BMW body styles. And it was black! I usually see them in red.
A few hours ago I saw a brand new Chevy SS El Camino in Newburyport, MA. I was driving, so no picture, but omg what a hoot, it’s a real thing.
Two Maserattis, one Quattroporto and one SUV thing. What’s most interesting was that this was on the streets of Bangalore India. Yikes! These people are insane to drive cars like that here.
A late 70s Pontiac Formula Firebird.

Two pickups today, both government owned.
The first was on the rail-trail, a park ranger Suzuki Equator. I’ve never seen or heard of them before; when I looked it up they were never real popular.
Just a couple feet away, was a dual-trucked (both tires & rail wheels) GMC pickup truck cruising down the RR tracks. He did honk at the crossing/trail head, but not the standard Long-long-short-long signal. I wonder what, if any the requirement is for a car on RR tracks, as opposed to a train?
