A hapless Model X in the Walmart parking lot today while waiting for my Wife. The "Falcon" door would not close for it's poor owner. She tried for a good 10 minutes, then on the phone (Hubby I assume) getting directions, it finally shut then pinged back open when she closed the drivers door lol! I would have helped but had sleeping 2yr old and 15 baby chicks in the car (Chicks in a box thankfully). My Wife arrived so I didn't get to see that final outcome of this, I assume the door has a manual override of sorts so she should've been ok.

Isn't technology great?

Walking to get dinner last night I saw what looked like a mint condition Celebrity Eurosport. It’s been many years since I’ve seen one of those.

Wife and i took off to Moncton on Friday night to escape the fourth straight day of fog here.  While sitting on a roadside patio having some dinner we saw a brand new GT3 in lava orange followed soon after by a new C8 in red.  Not a bad showing for a few minutes in a small town and kinda made up for the face full of sand i got on a few occasions.  It was sunny and warm but windy as hell and my wife was too paranoid to eat inside...lol

Looked to be beautifully restored too.  Similar colour too.

There is an orange 2016 GT3 for sale at MacDonald GMC, wonder if it was that one:
