Getting gas this morning. Just a dude and his laberdoodle.
These two both looked like they could be fired up and driven all day. Nice, clean, presentable old iron.
No photo because it passed my field of vision almost before I realized what it was, but this morning I saw a MkII MR2 ... towing a biggish utility trailer.
No pitchers because I was in traffic, but I paced a really decent '69 Malibu SS396 on the way home. Or at least it was dressed as an SS396. Sounded tight, ran clean. No stink. Black paint, no stripes, no vinyl top, 15x8/15x10 Cragar S/S mags, a little rake showing off the 12-bolt rear and yellow Lakewood ladder bars. If it wasn't wearing a mandrel-bent exhaust system and radials, it could have easily been a three-year-old car.
Saw an Ariel Atom for the first time outside of photos, although it was on a trailer behind a Honda Ridgeline.

TIL
I never realized that Malibu and SS could be ordered together. Looks like that means high trim level and high performance. Kinda cool
Our first ever Elise in the wild!!
My daughter is named Elise so our carload pretty much geeked out about it :)
Probably not often the driver gets an excited thumbs up from the wife in the front of a minivan
Dang, that S10 is hot on those C5 wheels! Other than the chrome grill, that is.
WIth the 550 Spyder, how do you tell if they are "real"? For some reason, whenever I see pics of one now, I assume it's a replica.
How does that thing pass crash safety tests!? They don't have them in France?
Edit: just googled it and it's considered a "quadracycle" not a car. Maybe that's hey they get around it. It's probably a great runabout in a city. Better than a scooter in some ways (stay dry, can carry things, less tippy).

it's roughtly the same kind of requirements as a Neighborhood Electric Vehilce in the USA. They're exempt from crash standards.
top speed around 25-30mph and limited to certain roads with a max MPH of X(i believe it's 35mph in the USA)
I followed a rust free, Gramma fresh 1974 Malibu Classic four door sedan on Sunday.
It has been a decade or two since I've seen one of those. Anywhere.
