I saw one of those in a parking lot a week ago today.

Parked a few spaces away......an Audi RS Q 8.

This was in the parking lot for the Houston Auto Show, but neither of these vehicles were manufacturers nor dealer cars.

Both were personal vehicles, and both had personalized plates.

The Isuzu Trooper II (it was the Holden Jackaroo in Australia).

I liked this SUV. Back then I wanted one but never owned one.

Maserati Quattroporte, 3rd generation. From the Italian, literally its name is “4 doors”. Not very imaginative.
Manufactured since 1963, the Quattroporte is currently in its 6th generation.

Not yet. They pulled out the f1 system and shipped it to New York. There’s a guy that is a specialist for these units and he is building the an lines and putting it together. He will ship it back and they will reinstall and bleed system.
I now have a tow service in my contacts since aaa is totally unreliable.

Yesterday at the beach in Southern California, Bolsa Chica State Beach —

A 1959 VW Microbus single cab pickup

Sorry, we’re stoned.

Yeah, I have insurance. Call the towing company directly. They come straight away.
Good to hear that you've got a top man on it!

My buddy is a service writer at a significant Ferrari store..........all of their customers are offered a free tow to and from the dealership for service. He has done back to back services on two different Ferraris for the same customer many times.........drop one, pick up another.

So he swapped the mirrors/wheels to make it look newer!

Not a bad swap, I like the newer parts way better than the old ones.

A Saturn hatchback, honestly never knew they had one until yesterday. Astra...
