Saw my first C43 Wagon in the wild today while on the highway. Just looks so right to me.

Followed one of these on Dorval today. Looked and sounded way too cool in person.

That’s an NSX? Damn. Looks good in black and that 3/4 view...

^ I love the looks of the new NSX.

Saw a moose first thing this morning (less than an hour ago) on the way to work. He was in a stream on the side of the highway. Perfect timing too as the sun was just breaking on the horizon, the water was like glass, and he looked up just as I was driving by and gave me a good stare. Really quite a beautiful site. That image will be burned into memory for quite a while.

We didn't even see one when we were out that way earlier this year, and I was really surprised.

Parked behind a Chevy Baretta this morning, looks pretty mint! Look at alllllllll that glass & the low beltline, not too much bigger than my 951.

Due to construction I've been taking a detour to work and noticed that someone has a kind of odd selection of cars: brand new BMW X2, a mint condition silver Honda S2000, and a '90s F-150 Flareside regular cab 4x2 truck that's lowered.

Always loved the Beretta's lines. One of the better GM designs of that era.

Got out of my underground car park at the end of the day, driving down the long narrow street behind a large SUV. First thought was "Telluride", but this is bigger with small rectangular taillights. It was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, with fleet plates of course.

Saw this thing getting cleaned while I was on Grand Manan Island yesterday. Interesting enough that i had to stop and ask about it. It's a 2014 that the guy bought new and had the mods done soon after. Engine and Lambo door mods were a little over $12k and he claims it's now putting out over 800HP. I wondered why someone who lives on an Island with less than 200km of secondary roads would want something like this, but he has over 110k km on this thing now, which is amazing seeing that it is a seasonal car and stored for 4 months of the year, and he lives on a small relatively isolated island. It looked rough though with lots of rock chips and it was filthy all over but certainly no garage queen. He has taken it to Florida several times and does lots of road trips obviously.

Certainly not to my taste but i give the guy a big

for enjoying his ride.

Engine bay...

Crossed the stern of this beauty when we were leaving Grand Manan Island yesterday. Saw lots of interesting stuff on the way back and the Bay was as calm as I've ever seen it. Saw a pod of fin whales shortly after seeing the sailboat so i assume that's what they were after.

Man I couldn't do an office job anymore. Field work rules!

Never seen one of these Jeep trucks before. Not long after seeing this I saw my first Gladiator in the flesh. Looked pretty good.

Jeep FC!

Pretty rare bird. They didn't sell in big numbers, and were driven into the ground

I see that around town regularly in summer. It’s lovely.

I love those FC Jeeps - that one has quite a long wheelbase. A firm called VIASA (Vehículos Industriales y Agrícolas, S.A.) built versions on the same mechanical platform, but with a different body. One was on BAT a few years ago.

The Tercel finds a fellow older, cheap car survivor

My first thought was mid 80s Corolla hatch, or Chevy Nova although those only came with quad headlights. I’m stumped.

It's a Mercury Tracer.

dkaz · « **Reply #12939 on:** July 27, 2019, 12:33:39 pm »

323 Hatch was my next guess, closely related.
