Spotted my first Integra in the wild yesterday (at Costco ) - from the back, it actually looks classier than the Civic, but I must say that the Civic itself appears to have nosedived sales-wise. I see some sedans but have yet to witness the new hatch.

Also seen my first 400Z. In yellow. In the used car row at a Ford dealer I drove by. That car has turned expectations into a sad trombone it seems.

It's actually just called the "Z".

I don't think the Z is bad. People just had the wrong expectations for it. It's not a numbers car it's a grand tourer.

Kind of like what the Z always was?? I've never thought of the 280,300, 350, or the new one as "sport" cars, they were always kind of chubby highway cruisers.

Heading to work yesterday past Ile Notre-Dame's sole ground access (aka F1 track site), saw a gleaming semi marked "Official Ferrari dealer of Atlanta" drive out of there. It took the highway in the wrong direction. Not the exact rig I saw, but it's pretty close:

Last evening's walk (not the weekend, not work

) saw a few interesting things. The metallic red McLaren I had spotted prior is based at a 4-6 M$ hyper modern / architechy home nearby and is driven by a young douchy influencer-type who loves using sport mode and rev match on a 40 km/h residential street. His cross-street neighbours have his and hers SUVs, a DBX and a Cayenne. A sweet, guards-red 911 SC with a whale tail went by, as did two douchy couples in sport-mode Macans. Guy with the white Ferrari California can't yank out the two small dead trees in his crappy front yard. My ex-neighbour, the one who had a 6th kid with his wife's business partner, replaced his Highlander Hybrid with a Tesla Model 3. There's too many rich people around us...

Pointing VS turning.

That was a mistake. I know the Union Jack was the inspiration, but it's wrong.

Couple things seen over the last few days of site visits at work:

LC500 Convertible:

Rivian R1T

I also saw a pretty sweet Comanche pickup while I was driving. Dude had it tastefully lifted and on bigger than stock tires.

Lots of cars on the 401 westbound shoulder around Winston Churchill, all with flat tires. Some jackass must have lost a box of nails, or maybe blades, based on how fast the effect took place

RVR full of Goldens. The rear glass was dirty but I counted at least 3. There was a dog sticker on the hatch so they were in no danger, just tightly packed.

A rare Sorento plug-in hybrid.

I really like the style of these.

They weren't slow off the line

Some size perspective here...

That was painful to see

Airbags were fired so it's likely a write off.

Just met a GMC motorhome in the wild. We met it heading north on a county road about 10 minutes from our cottage as we were coming into town this morning.
Didn't realize it was a GMC until we were up close, it was towing a matching enclosed trailer.
