I saw a few things of interest: an E30-amino(!), a Maybach(!), a Vantage S, a Volt (there are a few about TO), and a 2nd gen NSX.

First GT86 in a dealer. Also red 458 and red Integrale sharing the same street.
Couldn't help thinking that the crude 70's hatchback was way cooler than the super high-tech 21st century berlinetta.

I saw a Subaru Loyale wagon and a gunmetal gray GT86/BR-Z the other day.

I finally watched Quantum of Solace and was glad to see that Bond kept it classy and had three pedals in his Aston.
I was less impressed by his Bronco II, though...

"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

This was a while back but I think this is a Lincoln Continental.
Wish they made Lincolns like they used to- so stylish.
It's a really big car too.

Whay can't american cars look like this these days?

I know right? We went from that to this-
I especially like the detail around the door handles, with the suicide doors.

Yet they insist on retro muscle cars.
And then there's the Cadillac Ciel...
Europeanness is overrated.

Actually, the '62 Continental's clean styling owed much to Pininfarina's Lancia Florida, so that's pretty European. Or was Farina deliberately baiting American tastes? Either way, the result was a car of sublime proportions considering it's size. My family owned two, a '66 sedan and a couple of years later, a '67 coupe. Great cars, I have fond teenage memories of each.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC has a 1963 Continental (black, naturally) in it's permanent collection alongside a Cisitalia 202.
Continentals of this series shared the Thunderbird cowl section, BTW.

A couple of days ago on the way to Reno, a Lotus seven or more likely a Caterham seven pulled in front of me. Either way first time I'd ever seen a Seven. The 'gentleman' driving it was wearing a helmet, his female companion was not. Maybe it's his wife? Anyway A big truck running over them and they both would have been decapitated.

I saw a VW Thing in orange today and I spoke to the owner for a couple seconds. He said parts are annoying and it's a mishmash of VW parts from a Karrman Ghia and Beetle. But it runs.
It's a 1973 and he has two young sons. I bet you they're the coolest dad at school by far.

Focus ST, in that Tangerine Scream color....actually the first one I've seen on the road aside from the test car I saw for Formula SAE...
