    Again, little more than a mad magazine fold. Already makes that pickup look better.

    Speaking of smaller trucks & far from being Aficionado of older Toyota pickups ... the father-in-law's is over ¼ century old. Visiting Arkansas a few weeks ago, he mentioned people have come up & ask him if he wants to sell it having just some $48,000 miles on it. Don't know if it's anything special or why anyone would try to buy it but I know they stopped making this model in the '90's in preference for the Mongo land barges of modern times.

    We are looking for a pickup to pull a travel trailer but I think this thing might not do the job.

    Maybe cause it is smaller than the new Tacoma, which is around the size of the gen1 Tundra. Also why the Maverick is outselling the Tacoma this year.

    Spotted a Subaru Baja.

    @hill Also, it’s 48,000 miles. These things go for 500,000 or more so it’s barely broken in

    My eyes are overloaded lately, working in France for a while.

    Peugeot 508- not sure what vintage. Just dripping with style.

    2024 Yaris Hybrid- gorgeous!

    I think my favorite was a Renault Megane estate wagon. Stunning.

    It's really nice seeing Audis and Mercedes that are just cars. No luxury features like you see on the USA versions.

    Honestly the only thing I don't love about it is that it has a center console. Always loved the fact that our Prius c doesn't; really makes the small cabin feel bigger.

    I didn't get to see many cars today, too busy.

    But I did see a Toyota Traigo lift truck. All-electric, lithium-ion power with a very fancy ergonomic seat and control arrangement.

    I'm not a materials handling expert, but it sure seemed like the fanciest forklift i'd ever seen.
