First gen Honda Civic Hatch. Perfect condition.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

A grey dodge journey that turned out to be an undercover police car.

720s outside the restaurant! WOW!

Have you seen how fast those things are?  They're 10.0 (or in the nines even!) quarter mile cars out of the box.  They're nuts! And that's not even their forte.

Hopefully McLaren has solved their quality issues, earlier cars are such POS machines.

Yes, but holy hell, I forgot how incredibly badass your Camaro looks.

Not my photos, but I see this guy around mid-town Toronto at least once a week....all year around, no matter how crappy or cold it it. Car is getting a bit crusty, but I am fairly confident it's original paint and seems to be in good mechanical condition.
The driver, his wife (with her massive bleach blonde afro) and the car are a complete 70's time warp. It doesn't matter how crappy my day is going, seeing this guy, still enjoying in his Z28, especially in the heart of the city rush hour, makes me smile everytime. What a legend...

Awesome. This guy would make sure a really good mini documentary like a Petrolicious style clip.

Yeah, I'd love to talk to him someday....I feel like if I could get near him while driving my T/A (which I do drive to work fairly regularly in the warm months) I could get his attention and give him my card or something.

Saw my first Hellcat Charger in the flesh today.   Looked really nice and I'd take one over the Challenger version in a heartbeat.

Also saw the guy with the Ural that lives by me and he must have been coming fro. Costco as he had biggie size parcels strapped to the back and filling the side car.  Quite a practical beast.   8)

I know, right?  Wat's a 720S??  There's a 720s in that pic?
