I didn't get a picture but there was a deep blue Acura NSX in the Chinatown area of N Austin at lunch today. I realized I haven't seen one in a really long time.

I did a lot of driving today. Had to go up into San Francisco. I saw:


A nice guards red Porsche 924 Sebring.

A butt-ugly Pontiac Aztek.

And an interesting (and clean) VW Notchback Sedan, like this one (grabbed from the web):

Agree, very interesting. What is it? Don't think I ever saw one of those ever before.

Jags stick out to me..: the ftype fpace and fx are all nice looking vehicles.

Porsches blend in as we have so many here specially the cuvs.

No picture, but I saw two Lotuses and a Tesla. I always drove Lotus cars a lot of racing games. My uncle had one I think as well..

On a warm, sunny day today I saw a guy driving his (assumed) old Fiat 124 Spyder, top down and with a roll bar. It was an old classic, in yellow-orange.

My first-ever car that I owned was a 1979 Fiat X1/9, so Fiats hold a special place for me. And, yes, it was very dependable! Just stay on top of the regular maintenance.

Based on what I saw on the road, today was NATO military truck day. Two rigs, both were Mercedes Benzes. One was about a 1-ton truck that looked like this, except in OD green camo, not desert tan. Image from the web: https://www.google.com/search?q=nato...rPQzB-BGrnM%3A.

It was definitely not a Unimog, that's for sure.

And then I saw an early 1990s civilian G550 Geländewagen. The first time I saw those Geländewagens was on NATO exercises in the early 1990s.

I always.find it interesting when you see the prototype cars or next years cars out that have the camo on them so you cant see exactly what they look like. See them a lot in metro detroit area.

I actually worked with the guy that brought a R32 across the border right after midnight on NYD 2014. Jalopnik wrote an article on him. Of course, he ran into some issues with the US DOT as there were some dispute on whether he brought it in before it was legal.


This wasn't today - it was actually just after the elections in November...
