    Classic white Mustang. 1966 by the plate. It's for sale.

    White Audi sedan, big, I'm assuming w/ the emblem S8 on the back. Don't recognize that designation? Anybody?

    Wiki says the S is the high performance version of the A. So a faster full size car.

    A sparkly green Crown Vic owned by a proud Eagles fan.

    This morning was good for custom paint.

    I saw a Honda Fit in a bold green color that I don't think was original.

    Later I saw a VW Camper in a stunning orange metallic finish. It had the late model bumper trim, which I think was 1988-1991.

    just saw a Marsh Master utility vehicle. That's an odd beast.

    A venerable Accord. At first glance, it looked so diminutive, I took it for for a Civic. I think 5th gen ('93~'98), judging from Wikipedia:

    Little bit of rust at the rear of rear wheel well; they traditionally rust there, from the inside out, due to the inevitable poultice of mud/grit/salt. Looks well kept on the whole, rain drops beading up.

    Rare EX-R trim (most popular trim was the EX. Out of LX, EX, EX-L and EX-R). I believe this one has the V6. (All other trims have the 4-cylinder)


    Lots of car spotting today


    2000s era Toyota Mark X
    Polestar 4
    Kia EV4
    Two Subaru Uncharteds

    Some car from the 1930s

    and some two-tone convertible from the 50s or 60s? I thought it was a C1 Corvette at first but it might be European.

    Been seeing more Japanese imported Prii. 2 Gen 3s (both Touring. I’m guessing S Touring) and one more Gen 2.

    A Ferrari. Not familiar enough to guess a model. Might be just the second I've ever seen.

    You must have a great eye! iirc the only thing easily noticeable as they drive by is an ever so slightly longer tail fin

    Don’t forget the mirror-mounted indicators, clear front reflectors and the driver sitting on the other side.

    I actually didn’t notice the longer spoiler! lol. Oh you mean the Gen 2? I just look for the fender mounted indicators then where the driver sits.

    A classic Monte Carlo.
    An original Mini. Those wheels were small.
    A couple Maseratis; convertible coupe and a SUV as a stretch limo.

    Too many in the last week!

    • Camry TRD V6
    • Giulia Quadrifoglio
    • 991.1 Turbo S
    • A few other classic Porsches I couldn't identify (I think one was a 912?)
    • Crown Athlete
    • Estima
    • Several Lucid Airs (I wonder if they were the same cars I saw multiple times)
    • Vinfast VF9

    Ok here’s a weird one. A Citroen Dyane 6. No idea this car existed. Also, a 2CV.

    Some EV motorcycle. Didn't startle me as it zipped past my open window.

    An older Miata. Old enough to be called than, and to have flippy lights.
