The ‘KO’ on the German plate above indicates that the vehicle is registered in Koblenz, at the confluence of Rhein and Mosel.

Just saw a BMW 320D wagon.   
Don't know if I've ever seen one before.

It might have been some badge engineering, but it said 320D??

Only diesel wagon that BMW sold here was the current gen ('14-'19) and it was a 328d. I'm sure there's some older grey imports running around though.

I think it was E46 gen,  maybe a military guy brought it back from overseas posting?

Dropped in the grocery store on the way home and spotted a really nice ‘63 Galaxie 4-door.

Construction is underway for VIVO, they are going to grow weed.    I pass by this on my way to work and we are all wondering what the black things are.  They went up first and kind of look like small water towers, but they are made of fabric and far too flimsy.

So, any ideas?

good god

I would yell out to the driver "I think there is something wrong with your car!?"
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.

^^ That must be a thing now as I've seen a few around here last couple of years.  Most are VWs as well.  There's a ridiculously stilted older Jetta that I see around quite often.

Forgot they made these things.  Couldn't have sold very well as this is the first time I've seen one.

Yeah they definitely didn't sell well. Along with the hybrid Tahoes and Escalades.

The hybrid lettering on these things was a bit much.

Now that I think of it there used to be a hybrid Slade around here but it didn't have that huge lettering g kn the rockers.  It had the same badge as the pic I posted.  It was replaced with a 750iX.

I saw a Lexus Nx300 with some BF All terrain...

Haha, that's hilarious.

Followed a Lexus LS500 which turned off at Whistle Bear for dinner I'm assuming. First one I've seen and surprised it was close to my place.
