Saw a Kia Stinger earlier this morning in that grey colour that looks like primer.  Colour doesn't look too bad on a truck but not the most flattering for a sporty car imo.  :P

My favourite generation. Even like the colour.  ;D

No, it's just ugly ugly...no pretty involved at all.  I even hate that colour on trucks.  Why?  ??? :P

I forgot to mention the other day when I left work, I did a quick drop off at the local MCC and on my way out, I notice a real nice dark blue 68-72 Vette sitting at the curb. 

Damn nice car.  Look across the street, and there's a damn nice newer blue Camaro...fack.  Didn't even mind the stripes.

Drive off slowly then look the other way...WTF!  A charcoal/black striped GT350!!  Am I in heaven?  Nope, I'm in Altona...but what are all three doing in the same locale?  'twas a happy moment.

^I saw a Ford Fiesta ST (the current one you guys don't get) in that same colour a couple days ago too.......doesn't really work on small cars.

Bright colours, please. Especially for smaller cars.

It is an odd colour. There is one in town here. Not sure why it was spec'd for Stinger as it is a more sporty car. Silver would look better if you want to be subtle.

I'd much rather that colour over silver.

Saw a Jaguar XE and it had halogen headlights. It was a 35t so not even a base one. Gross.

On my way home from work the other day I saw the same GMC motorhome I  had previously checked out in the motorhome thread heading the other way.   It was behind a large tow truck going to it's new home in the Napanee area.

Interesting project coming up for someone.  I'm pretty sure this is the same pair that I've seen parked on a vacant lot on Grand Manan Island for several years now.  I was wondering if they'd just sit there forever and rot away.  If so, then it's nice to see something finally being done with them.  The coupe is a 260C and is definitely the more solid looking of the two.

First red light this morning I pull up behind a Kona EV. I'm in a Kona EV too, and next to us is a Model 3. All-EV red lights are becoming a common occurrence here!
