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.
The ones I can determine at a glance; Challenger, Charger, Mustang, Camaro, most trucks foreign or domestic. Japanese cars don't interest me, BMW/Mercs are usually pretty obvious, as is Porsche. I may have missed one or two.
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.
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 saw an i8 yesterday and a couple of dudes have old R32 GT-Rs in town. The look so weird and small compared to the current car...or any car for thag matter. Now that they are 25 years old and legal, I suspect they will become more common.
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...
