On the one hand, it's yellow. But on the other, it's not black, white or some abysmal shade of grey. So I'm conflicted.  ;D

Those were cool but rather unloved. Overshadowed by the later 240SX as well as the Corolla GTS.

I like the yellow Bentley. A car like that should be in your face.

Driving on Ponoka.   There's a small airport right next to the road. Maybe couple hundred meters from us. An old air plane was landing next to us going the same direction. The ones you see from old war movies like a spitfire or something . He was actually right in front, I'd guess maybe 100 from the ground to landing. We got to see the whole landing from close which was prett neat.  I'd love he to get a ride de in those things

Oh good, an excuse to post this again.  ;D

An old Honda Insight with US plates, not sure if SC or Georgia.

The road was awash with pine needles.

^ Totally stole my thunder.  ;D

I saw a Gallardo near my house. He turned into the local Walmart. I saw him again later at Canadian Tire.

That's about a 7/10.  The Acura driver can still get in.

But we don't know who parked first.   ;)

I have a couple of those pocket screwdrivers that have valve stem removal tools on them.  Very handy.
