Not at work but I just saw a Cayman gt4 drive by me wearing winter tires.


What?  The 4 means 4wd, doesn't it? ;D

I thought it meant 4 season.  ;D

Saw a Nissan GTR out this afternoon.  Not sure if it had snows on but i hope so as it was hovering around -11 all day.

Tom, was it this GTR?  If so, it's a buddy of mines and he has winter rubber on it.

That's nothing; this week I saw 3-4 911 Turbos out in the slushy salty mess.

At least 911 Turbos are AWD. Seeing a RWD GT4, which is a limited production car that has appreciated a decent amount since it went on sale, on winter tires is more surprising to me.

I saw a GTR yesterday, covered in salt.  At least it sounded great.

Nissan Qashqai followed by a trail of blue smoke coming from the exhaust a few minutes ago.

Whoa, those TR6's don't look nearly as rusty as some of the junk I've seen in Ontario. Those XK8's are finally bottomed out too and are now within reach of the old 'british sports car trader' types...Nice cars for the money. My dad has a silver 99 XK8 that looks very similar to that one (same year, wheels, etc) and my brother has a nice black 02(I think) XKR coupe.

It was an old British car repair place. They had a few MG B shells as well. Plus a pile of late model Land Rovers. Engine donors?

Not on the way to work but saw a dark grey MX-5 in my hood. New with a hard top. It was sporting winter shoes and wasn't about to give up on fun on account of some white stuff.  :D

lol expecting a Kumquat driver to know that their engine even needs oil...let alone to actually open the hood, or know how to...that is funny

Saw a red, 1st gen Volvo V70 XC this evening.  Best looking of the Volvo V70 Cross Country wagons. These are almost 20 years old.  The one I saw was in great shape - no rust.

Saw my first S-Class Cabrio today, all covered with a thick coat of road spray.   :-[. The top reminded me of the after market vinly landau roofs that used to be quite common in Florida.
