Somebody riding the morning commute in a shiny, liquid-grey looking RR Cullinan. With private plates. Usually richy rich cars in QC (and nearly all pickups) have "F" plates here (registered to a business for tax reasons). Colour is "Burnout grey" I think - ironic name  ;D Wheels also similar to this web grab:

Saw my first Cybertruck on the road. Still looks like a prop from a bad '90s sci-fi movie set.

Probably more likely to see one outside of "real" truck country.  I saw my first one in the wild in San Francisco.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Saw my first Cybertruck in Edmonton....it was on the back of a flatbed tow truck, the jokes write themselves. Its so ugly, like no other car before, like a Judge Dredd movie car or something.

I haven't seen one in person yet, but this comparison seems pretty accurate to me.

I've seen quite a few, like a half dozen maybe down here in SW Tennessee, including one in like a maroon wrap. Strikingly ugly.

Around 2018 MY, black LS600hL with dealer plates. It was practically soaring over highway bridge joints. What a ride.  :drool:

First Rivian SUV I spotted on the road, a green R1S with a Florida plate.

New addition on my street, a Vinfast VF8... Not a fan  :-\

An old V6 Sonata in pristine condition. The suspension looked brand new and spotless, as did the rest of the car. Shame it's now in a grandson's hands..  :P

Fourth gen. 2.7 V6 and 4 spd auto, perhaps. This engine lasts forever.

Passed a house with FOUR PT Cruisers in the driveway.

I think this person needs an intervention. LOL [emoji38]

Just saw this. Figured it was aftermarket, but had to look it up.

Really nice looking unit. A hundred times better than that bloated 4-door thing that comes from the factory.

I saw one in Phoenix on Saturday.  Matte black.  One of the ugliest vehicles I have ever seen.
