Colour selection has to match the vehicle character wearing it.


I crossed what I believe to be a Lexus LC 500 this week-end, the car had a strong presence and a very nice green shade paint, similar to https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/14/2020-lexus-lc-500-inspiration-series-nori-green/

I think that colour is great, it reminds me of Porsche's Miami Blue.

A guy who's part of the group I walk dogs with on the weekend just got a new (to him) car.  He got a 2013 Buick Encore.  I put on a brave face and congratulated him on his purchase, but internally, I was wanting to reprimand him for spending money on such a miserable vehicle from a miserable brand.

Hey, that vehicle's value will appreciate!

Hard to say the exact era of that picture based from cars, it could have been taken a while ago..

Finally saw an Audi e-tron on the road. No, not my car - the "Q6" electric SUV. Rare even in EV-hungry Quebec. Meanwhile the Model 3 is now more common than the Mazda 3 (yawn).

I tested a few modern 3-pots in the last few years, and while somewhat fun and exotic sounding, they did not deliver on fuel economy. Follows Fob's Rule of Small Turbos  ;D

A running, driving Lada Samara. There cannot be too many of these left. Japser, Alberta.

Well preserved it seems. Carburated I4 I suppose? The door grafix adds like 20hp   :P

Went to a friend's place i haven't seen in 10 years.  The guy rebuilt a 1974(i think) porsche 911 targa with2.7l flat 6.  So nice.. took it for a rip to a BBQ place.  Man that sound is so nice.  Think that was my first Porsche ride beside a boxer.   That thing is so small and basic its hilarious.
  Then he has humvee from a client. We took that around too. The hummer is surprisingly fun and comfortable.   He has a small business switching vintage card into electric.

That Targa is sweet!!   :drool: :drool: :drool:

Some nice custom touches, looks like he widened the front & rear fender flares... kinda Singer like... I'd rock that all day long!!

Yeah, looks really nice!   :thumbup:

On the highway near Lee River, spotted a red Camaro with full Lightning McQueen livery, wish I could've snapped a photo but it was headed in the opposite direction.

I've seen it in the city on Portage Ave.  It's loud and the driver acts a little juvenile.
