    Oh, you guys thought I was referring to a Shelby Mustang?

    The Cobra is another perfect example of more of something now on the road (via complete kits) then when originally manufactured. One of the Machinists at Disney build one himself & brought it to work to show it off. It was really nice.

    Flare Yellow LC500. First one in that colour that I've seen in real life. Most of them have been black, white or red. (And there's one blue LC500h)

    I saw a Toyota Sienna with a massive drop-floor conversion.

    I didn't notice who had rebuilt it, but they added at least 18" in overall height.

    I've seen plenty of the Chrysler vans done this way but I think it was the first time I'd seen a Sienna set up that way.

    I caught a good one today!!

    Canary yellow Lotus Europa fueling up at the next pump over when I gassed the Prius this morning. The paint was well faded but the metal was straight and not rusted. Sounded great when it took off, even though it smelled like a lawnmower.

    Today was green car day.

    I saw an old Corvette, and a new Audi sedan in almost the same dark green.

    Then a Chrysler 300, a Wrangler, and a Land-Rover Defender. All in wonderful shades of green.

    I also saw an Austin-Healey in a non-green color. Almost a disappointment after so many lovely green cars.

    Saw a BMW i8 the last time I was in Sacramento

    Cars I want to see,

    a 2nd gen Prius with a mid engine 6.0 LS swap.

    A Scion iQ with a 4th gen AWD Prius drivetrain swap. Thinking it would have to be mid engine, with maybe a little stretch at the B pillar

    Yes. Lots of greens now. Will browns be next? Seems to go in cycles.
