    Leaks happen. A floor drain carries them directly to the drinking water supply, or local river systems. Then there is the fact that a floor drain means some people will just let it take care of any oil spills in the garage instead of cleaning them up.

    To get back to the op, here's a shot of me heading down to the local Target department store. Like I said, thick as gnats

    There are a couple that are show ready on Hemmings, but those are for the people that want it pristine and not have to work for it;).

    I’d buy the project(y).

    There you go: The gray TM3 is in Sterling, and the blue one - in Reston. In Northern Virginia, in a couple of hours of driving you'd see 3-4 Model S/X's, maybe 4 older Leafs, a couple of Bolts and i3's, but TM3 is still a rarity.

    Ok ok, I don't want to have anyone cast unsafe driving aspersions - so here's one I got out of the car today & took. It's my 1st sighting of the all-wheel drive version. Here's what the sticker looks like in back.

    I know only us old people will understand this phrase, but our area has more of these 3's than Carter has pills.

    yes - a kid just got in the car a couple seconds ago & i snapped the shot quick before it closed because I feared the guy was going to blaze on out before I could grab the shot.
    If I'm not mistaken, it looks like that car has an after-market carbon fiber spoiler too - surprised @Trollbait didn't catch that.
