Beautiful old beast.   The 390, considered the workhorse of the FE engine series, was considered as unbreakable; at the time.

There's a guy with an automotive electric place here that still has one rockin'.  Seems like he uses it to take scrap to the scrap yard.  It's a manual, too. 

I'm a big fan of 2nd gen ZR2's.

[93JC]

Neither generation is very commonplace on the roads here anymore, I suspect rust did them in. Even first-gen Colorados and Canyons are becoming scarce.

Pretty much the same.  Rare I see a first-gen.  Decent number of 2nd gens around if you include all the variants (Blazers, Bravadas, etc.), but those are also rusting away.

[93JC]

Yeah, I see more Blazers and Jimmys. There's a doofus who lives across the street from me who has a two-door Blazer.

[giant_mtb]

Buddy of mine has a 2-door ZR2 Blazer.  Shame it's falling apart.  Sweet lil trucks.

Beautiful 3rd-gen Mazda B-series (1977-1985)

Tesla Model 3.

Nissan Be-1 and Merkur XR4Ti parked across a street from each other. Somebody likes their oddball cars...

I was heading to Pearson Airport on the 407 when I saw an unidentified flying object closing up quick on my six. I was doing about 140 kph and it stayed on my bumper for a few kms, then switched to the left lane and fucked off. I nearly jizzed. Identical to this one...

[AutobahnSHO]

Saw an international traveler yesterday.

Electric?

Saw an international traveler yesterday.

Was he hitch-hiking?

Mitsuoka Viewt

Electric?

Pfff, bitch please: V12!


(I actually have no idea, it was parked. I very much doubt it was an electric conversion. Why would it be electric?)

Royal Wedding reference. Aren't Canadians required to watch that?

Mitsuoka Viewt

Hey, me too!

Seven years ago.

Not that particular one, but I really did see a Mitsuoka. It was as horrendous as you would imagine.

[Payman]

Good god. Where and why.

Hell naw. Couldn't care less. (As is tradition.)

Just a guy tooling around Columbus, and it had OH plates. It was the boxy K11 Micra based one.


I thought it was cool looking; not really pretty, but more kitschy. It made me smile.

Saw a new Honda that I didn't recognize at all, and had to look it up: a Clarity. I remember the fuel cell cars they used to lease in California; I had no idea they made a new one.

[Laconian]

You can only lease them? You can buy the Toyota Mirai outright: $60,000 before subsidies.

Naw, that's an American thing...American Princess and all.

As far as I know you couldn't buy one of the old FCX Clarity cars outright, just lease, and only in California.

I had to do a wee bit of research about the new one, seems they equip them with fuel cell, battery or gasoline-electric hybrid. The latter is the only one available here.

[giant_mtb]

I've heard ads for the gas-electric hybrid Clarity...they don't mention anything about fuel cells. That's odd, no?
