Toyota Aristo and Lexus GS pair.

Very cool! Wonder what the price difference is between the two on the used market.

This is owned by one of the guys in my golf league, Citroen DS, he also has a 2CV, and a Volt, lol! This was at the driving range before our game today.

Nice! One of the coolest cars ever made imo.

Near the bridge I take into Montreal, there's a shady looking impound lot for one of these also shady tow truck operators. They don't seem to give a (insert word here) about the cars they randomly park on the uneven gravel ground. A Civic has been there for weeks with its trunk open to the elements...

So imagine my reaction when I saw a white McLaren through the chain link fence this morning...

So I ran an errand during lunch today, and while looking for for a parking space I spotted what I thought was a Daewoo Nubira, and thought "Really? I haven't seen one in ages." When I approached it to park behind it I realized it was a first gen Maserati Quattroporte... Maser styling fail! LOL!

yeah those rear lights are the weak point of the Maser's styling - honestly it is best murdered out and smoked

I still love that thing though. Quite the luxo-barge "4 door Ferrari" bargain these days if you buy right.

Last night at a stop light in the Z3M i was sandwiched between a ~69 Chevelle SS Wagon in front and a 67 Vette convertible in back. Was a good place to be! The 67 Vette convertible is my dream car and I’d rock that SS wagon in a heartbeat!

1980 (or earlier) Chev regular cab pickup dually! It was a good condition.

Parked beside this at work today, thought at first it was "just" and SRT but it's a Trackhawk.

I know, that Tiguan is really something!

There are a handful of nice cars though. A 911 GT3, Audi S5, three Golf Rs, an S60 Polestar...

Yeah, I've noticed there are routinely interesting vehicles on your lot. Only noteworthy car in my lot most days is a nice 3-series wagon with the red leather interior.

Never thought the day would come when Fiatsler makes a bunch of vehicles that make me happy in pants.

Ultimate sleeper those are.

A guy in a black one was goading me at a stoplight a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t ask that mistake.

Crazy freaking quick as well... 0-60 in 3.5... quarter mile in 12 secs at 115MPH... you wouldn't be far behind I'm sure, but he would've jumped out in front pretty quick with all four wheels pulling hard.

I’m the same in the quarter mile ( maybe a tad quicker) but he would murder me at a stoplight.

I was looking at C&D, and they had your car at 12.4sec in the quarter, doing 116MPH though. And they had the Jeep at 12.0 and 115MPH. But yeah, off the light he'd be thru the intersection by the time your tires hooked up

Or at least that would be for how I'd drive your car

By a co worker this am; five identical Range Rovers with MFR Ontario plates parked in Dartmouth NS at a detailer.

Maybe for a press junket?

There's a new Range Rover PHEV for 2019, maybe that's what they were.

He texted me a little while ago, I think there's a Land Rover Experience thing going on in Halifax, so that's probably what they're for.

My neighbour just took his SL500 out for a drive. What a beautiful elegant machine. Looks just like this:
