What Interesting Car Did You See on the Road Today? (Renault, 2004)

I have not seen one all that recently, but I like seeing BMW E30 3 Series models from the 1980s still on the road.

I saw a '60's-style dune buggy. I think it was a Meyers Tow'd.

It is telling that you could only get photos of the back of it.

I saw one of those in a garage from a distance. I embarrassingly asked "Is that a GT, can I see it?

No. It is a motorcycle with three wheels for people who are afraid of motorcycles but want one anyway.

I need glasses.

I was in my heavy-duty truck and he (McLaren) was doing about 85 mph. I tried to keep up with him but didn't wanna risk of getting a ticket.

Here we are good at 85. th police have a saying (well some of them do): Over by eight, you are probably just late; over by nine, your a$$ is mine.

I saw three this week. A mid-60's Volvo wagon in kind of rough shape. A Volkswagen Thing with a perfect orange paint job; it looked original but it must have been a restoration.

And finally and most unusual (especially here in Vermont), a Prius with Texas plates. Really, how many could there be?

Here it's "nine you're fine, ten you're mine".

On Saturday we were on the way home from a road trip and on Bainbridge Island, WA we were behind a Tesla towing a boat. I had never seen a trailer hitch on a Tesla before, so it struck me as interesting. It looked like a lightweight fiberglass runabout, maybe 12' with just a 40 HP outboard, so I'm sure the Tesla had the power to pull it. I looked it up and in fact this model (X) can tow 5,000 lbs., but it does reduce the range by as much as 50%.
