Saab 92x Aero.

I mostly forgot these existed. But, that isn't an Aero, is it? Aeros had a hood scoop.

It was in traffic and I was unable to take a pic.  It was black, however.

From Virginia.  So, he'd be on summer tires? 

Given the current weather, he's gonna have a bad time.  But hey, at least he's free to make bad choices.

I'd say it's more likely someone in military/retired/contractor doing work with the feds in Ottawa.

Viriginia is full of military/intelligence bases/contractors, etc.

Saw a new 911 in the salty slush and ice today. Better tool than the 'Vette, but it takes guts!

Yeah, my ATF buddy is gonna ask his US military buddies on Thursday at hockey to see if they know who it is.

Had a meeting at my local coffee shop this morning.

On the way in I see two people scraping the ice off their car, and they were scrapping it off the entire car, and with ice scrappers.  Points for not driving around with ice but two points removed for lack of concern about their paint.

On the way out a Lexus UX Hybrid. Never realized the are almost they same size as the previous CT but just look bulkier. Still undecided if I like it.

Went to the coin car wash last night to blow the salt and grime off the Jeep. Witnessed two separate women drive in and take the foamy brush to their dirty, dry cars.....it hurt my soul a bit.
Lighten up Francis.....

In front of the Chelsea Pub in Gatineau Park. Nice to see someone driving it year round!

No longer a Bakery (that had great date squares BTW), or are you talking about the little restaurant place beside it out of the picture?
