Weird I too saw a Murano Cross Cabriolet a few days ago here. Not many of these in Canada.

I don't think they were officially sold here so it's even more perplexing when you see one that someone took effort to import.  :P

A guy in the hood lost his Wife to Cancer about six months back. She was only 46 years old and they had three young kids.
He did a lot of landscaping around his place this Spring and he also unloaded his old Pathfinder.
He's focusing on himself a bit now. ;)
That's an M4 Cabriolet.

Good for him - and you know the kids love the convertible.  After all that family's been through they deserve a little bit of fun.

I think my neighbour has Covid...they say one of the first things to go is your sense of taste...




Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done. 

I wonder if it's his inner Ukrainian coming out - he is getting older...

That might look okay when it's all done. Those bizarre colour schemes sometimes work really well on Victorian or Gothic Revival houses.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

We spent an hour with our coffees today down at the beach. Pretty deserted except for a couple of friendly ducks.
