    I saw a shiny new Porsche GT3RS (paper license plates and all) on I-95 in Connecticut the other day. Very pretty car, though the wing on the back didn't seem to match the rest of the car.

    From the pictures online, it's the regular factory wing- it's apparently an actual performance item so they didn't bother styling it to match the car.

    Connecticut; snow. Yikes ! a ½ million$ Porsche is NOT deserving of being driven around in frosty weather

    I had two really special ones on the same trip yesterday!

    I spotted this unusual prototype accessible taxicab on the cross-Bronx Expressway yesterday. Very rare sighting!

    I also saw a Toyota Hilux Surf with a significant oil-burning condition on the same stretch of road.

    Yesterday, I saw a newly-registered 1992 Toyota Paseo in Medium Red Pearl. It looked to be in excellent condition.

    Today, I saw a surviving Suzuki Aerio SX AWD. I thought my father-in-law had killed the last one but apparently somebody else is still rocking one out there.

    There was an Aerio hatch at work for years. Only recently haven't spotted it, which could just mean the owner retired and not the car.

    Spotted a Silverado EV.

    I've been in Italy for a week now, lots of cool little cars rolling around here.

    I'm very jealous of the Yaris hybrids they've got on the streets here. I also saw a great little Lancia Ypsilon, very sharp-looking.

    I had a ride in a current generation VW Transporter, they're still wonderful. Sad that we haven't had them in the USA for so long.

    Whoops, it was a SX4, and still here. We once trust drove an Aerio.

    Recent spot was an older Jag XJ. Likely a1980's model.

    Today's best spot was a Citroen Ami:

    I also saw a new Alfa Romeo Tonale in a wonderful shade of green. The color was just so good.

    Another good sighting was a Peugeot 308 estate, looked like an extremely practical car.

    The local dealership has a string of them. Stop to check them out & I can see why they're stacking up. Prices are outrageous!

    My spot for today was the all-new Dacia Bigster displayed in a shopping mall.

    I also saw a lovely Mercedes executive car. No badges on the back so I don't know which model.

    Fantastically large, nothing like it in the USA.
