Don't know how it ends but there is no valet for parking there for sure...

Using the LIFO method?

While sitting at a redlight yesterday, I notice a bright yellow object appear in my left peripheral vision. I turn my head to see a yellow Pontiac Aztek in excellent condition.

Saw a Hyundi i30 N in front of me last night.

Still believe there are better choices out there, wonder why someone would buy one.

UK reviews give it pretty high praise, and it appears to be great value for the money. Plus it’s NOT the obvious choice, which also makes it appealing to certain people.

Saw a few Citroen C4 sedans in Espagne.

What's weird, the Spaniards seem to prefer sedans over the traditional hatchback designs.

I've seen quite a few Skoda sedans and VW Jettas along with the usual SEATs.

Quite a few Mediterranian markets like sedans. Renault’s Spanish affiliate, FASA-Renault, made a sedan version of the 5 (the 7), and SEAT made a ‘sedan’ version of FIAT’s 850.

The R5 five-door appeared in 1980, 6 years after the 7, and has the same door pattern and wheelbase as its Spanish cousin.

The wing will give extra downforce to help with snow traction.

Somebody here in my 'burb is running a Fiero GT with studded tires as his (hers?) winter beater.

1. Saw an American imported Ford Mondeo....I mean Fusion in the car park. Whenever I see "KL" and an American car, I always suspect its someone who works on the US airbase there. And wouldn't you know, it had the tell tale orange reflectors on the headlights and it wasn't a hatchback.......

2. Can you tell my car is popular in France ? 3 of us at an intersection

^ I saw a little Hyundai something last summer on the highway that was completely plastered with stickers as well. Couldn't get a pic though. Yesterday I saw a Hyundai Tuscon driving around with its entire front fascia ripped off. Looked pretty weird. Lots of car parts stuck inside snow banks around here lately.

On the way to Winnipeg, a John Deere 9630 with 12 tires taking up essentially both oncoming lanes.

I'm not exactly sure where he was going this time of year.

In Strasbourg, saw a Honda Odyssey and US spec Honda Accord with Stuttgart registration- I dunno, does the US military have bases still in Stuttgart ?

Also interesting was the Gendarmerie on motorcycles, riding along the A35 and see if there were any drivers using their mobile phones while driving*.

Ha, ha...
I use to love driving my Dads tractors down the road. Only had 8 tires not 12 but had the same affect on the opposing traffic. Especially the transports that had to stop and get out of the way.
I felt like Eugene. Too funny.

Spotless Toyota Echo sedan. The only blemish was what appeared to be residue left from tape placed over the gas door.

I'm waiting in the car while the mrs is in the grocery store. CX-5 pulls into the parking lot, drives through 4 empty spaces with no cars around it to only park 4 spots closer to the doors in a spot crowded with other cars beside it. Also the time it took them to park between the other cars they could have parked and walked that far. I don't understand some people.
