    A few oldies today. Two foxbodies (a Mustang and a Camaro), and what I'm pretty sure was a 60's Maro. Also a really sweet Shelby F150.

    I saw a beautiful late-model Alfa-Romeo Giulia on my morning commute through Pittsburgh today.

    Well, it was the Pontiac. Saw another Solstice. The front badge of the model has a bold V border to the Pontiac point. Enough that I didn't notice the brand point on the other one.

    A gorgeous Ferrari 330 P4, I assume it's a replica. Saw it on the I-15 N near Fallbrook.

    I had a ride in a Rivian SUV last night. I was in the front passenger's seat. I made sure to look up how to get the doors open if the power failed. I don't love the lack of standardization or regulation in this area.

    Lots of headroom, shoulder and hip room too. Not so good for footroom, and it was a long climb up from the street, relatively speaking. I guess that's the thickness of the battery in the floor. I also noticed that the cargo area behind the 3rd row of seats seemed to have a very high deck.

    The truck was kind of quiet- obviously no engine noise but the HVAC system was busy and making lots of noise on its own. Once we were on the highway it was hard to tell it different from any other big SUV.

    The seat was very comfortable and the cabin materials were pretty nice. Hardly any rattles even when we hit big bumps.

    Middle Eastern buyers like it that way, and they're buying more of those than anyone, which means they get it their way.
