    1983 Subaru GL wagon in remarkable condition. That nice Mild Yellow color.

    I also saw an early 1990s Saab 900 in poor condition, but still rolling.

    A Fiat 500 Turbo that reminded me that there was a dozen or so color options for the model.

    An El Camino SS.

    Of historical interest here, a 2-mode Escalade hybrid.

    Just saw a very clean Gen 5 Prius. Got some nice wheels on it and was minty fresh.

    15 or so special cars today. Down in San Juan Capistrano visiting friends. See which one you think is/was coolest (in no special order) ;

    Chevy's first year impala?
    Screenshot_20250503_100334_Gallery.jpg

    or perhaps something newer like a Rolls-Royce
    20250503_094913.jpg

    Classic power? 60s Shelby Mustang
    20250503_094732.jpg

    or two-seater inspired by Carroll Shelby, a big block cobra
    20250503_094541.jpg

    Very easy to work on, but often underpowered, a Karmann ghia?
    20250503_094503.jpg

    Maybe something a little roomier from volkswagen? Any "ID" what it is?
    20250503_094214.jpg

    Maybe the more classic look - with 21 windows
    20250503_091746.jpg

    Dare not leave out toyota, a very early Corona station wagon
    20250503_094112.jpg

    Some of us pickup owners, they often catch one's eye. But a split windshield from the 50s - matching rims to small block head colors? Not to common.
    20250503_093651.jpg

    Mom had a black 64 Ford falcon, but in a station wagon?
    20250503_091503.jpg

    Ford GT strike you as too rich for yer blood?
    20250503_093339.jpg

    Then a McLaren probably will as well.
    20250503_092128.jpg

    Or keep it simple with a Fiat 600
    20250503_091821.jpg

    Lastly - ostentatiously painted Lambo SUV
    20250503_092004.jpg

    Always liked the quite old Ferrari Mondial above all others, but the older spiders were pretty slick too

    Gotta love that Shelby Mustang.

    Today so far for me, a baby blue Taycan with some gold wheels (good combo actually), a last gen Civic Si, a C8 Z06 (nice), and a Ford Explorer ACTIVE (?). Never seen that before. Don't know if it's uncommon or not.

    Shelby Mustang for me. I grew up in that 60s muscle car era. But all nice pics.

    An Elantra N drove by me at an intersection with some mean pops, wich was pretty nice.
    Less nice was a kitted out M4, which swung a turn on a street where I was walking (sped down in my direction with no care). Not only did the driver do that but he had no plates. I swear the guy was probably a YouTuber with the lack of plates and his girlfriend in the passenger seat.

    An eclectic mix of two limousines (a Chrysler 300 and a Lincoln), an Audi e-Tron GT, an old AE86, and a Marine convoy headed out of Camp Pendleton.

    An absolutely SPECTACULAR Mercedes 300SEL! Couldn't believe it.
    EDIT: Also my first two Ioniq 6's, both at the same intersection incidentally.

    Yesterday I saw a 1stgen Mustang, and I'm pretty sure a Dodge RAM SRT10.
