    Today I've seen two Smarts and a 1940s Chevy sedan.

    Today so far; another Lancer, two Mustangs (one first gen and one fifth), my first red fifth gen Prius, an older Porsche 911, my first Hummer EV, and two Genesis GV80's. Man, So Cal is a haven of interesting cars!

    A Mercury Mariner after seeing an Escape of the same gen and thinking Mercuries are getting rarer.

    iirc - isn't the Mariner basically a rebadged Escape? Wondering if they also made it in a hybrid version - as were some of the fords.

    I had a nice drive out in the country this morning.

    I saw an old-soldier Range Rover, a beautiful new Kia Stinger, a Smart that might have been the EV version, a Mazda B2000 truck, and a Honda Street minibus

    An RZ I thought was just another Lexus SUV until I spotted the 'ears' at the rear corners of the roof.

    Today so far: what I think was a new Porsche Cayenne, a brand new BMW M2, a G-Wagen, a C7 Cheesevette, a 6th gen Shelby GT350, an original Nissan 240Z, and a real banger, a Tesla Model X decked out as Lightning McQueen at Temecula Costco. Pretty sure I've seen that car on YouTube (although in my opinion a Model X is an insult to Lightning McQueen).
