Electric propelled surfboard, I wasn't aware until today such thing existed but looking the guy on the lake, it seem to be quite challenging.

Also crossed the path of this little guy

I probably lack the coordination but that powered surfboard sounds cool as hell.

Some surfer who owned an electric skateboard had a bright idea

'Hey, if I could just seal up the lithium batteries really well.....'

This truck has been around my 'hood for more than a decade, but perusing the pics from the indy I'm sending the Audi to I noticed that the shop serviced the thing:

... and this truck really works! I've seen it loaded with building and landscaping supplies many times!

Nice. Way more practical for most actual work (i.e., hauling stuff) than fullsize pickups are.

At one point I saw it haul 10' sheetrock panels. A van-based pickup allows for a much longer box!

Just came home from a weekend in Maine. Driving through a rural area I saw a first generation Mercury Tracer five door hatch – probably haven't seen one of those in at least 15 years.

Also saw a beautiful silver Alfa Romeo GTV (the old 60s/70s model) in Camden.

Saw a cherry Taurus SHO this morning, like the Robocop era one. Haven't seen one of those in I don't know how long, finished in a beautiful 1980s Ford beige

I like yours better.

A mint E-Type 'vert casually curb-parked along Burrard in downtown Vancouver, where the Gucci and Hermes stores are. Drive or walk a couple blocks out and you're at the sidewalk camps of Hastings. Contrast is ~~almost~~ obscene.

Interesting wheel choices seen this weekend

Firm · « **Reply #1434 on:** July 18, 2022, 05:28:23 pm »

Wheels on that bug are stock, just painted red and missing the hubcaps.

Poor Tahoe, looks like it still has rocker panels, could be quite nice with a decent set of factory 18"s (I'd probably go with later model truck rims) and a fresh front bumper.

I used to call Camrys and the like of the 90s "Indian-Dad Racing Gold"... an unsurprisingly high number of my parents' friends/relatives/acquaintances had them. Of course, many had the gold badging too.

For sure, the contrast between the carefully painted rims and the 'au natural' bodywork was eye catching. Totally fit in with the hipster Whyte ave neighbourhood we saw it in

I got to take this Panamera 4S for a spin this afternoon. Brilliant! Takes a second for the turbos to spin up from a dig, but once they do, hold on. I've never smiled so much before in my life driving a car, lol.

Yeah, they rock. After I bought my dad the Panamera Turbo, I find myself borrowing it for longer drives fairly often. If I didn't have a perfectly good, functionally excellent LS 460 with some sentimental value to my better half, I'd probably have kept the Turbo for myself. The perfect daily for someone with my driving style.
