    A red Viper. Don't know if it was the red though.

    ROADKILL EDITION

    I've been scooting around a good bit for work lately. On Monday in Michigan, I saw a large red dog splattered across an on-ramp, in addition to various deer, possums, raccoons and kittens.

    Yesterday in Pennsylvania, I saw a calf, as in baby cow hooves to the sky on the shoulder. Later in New Jersey I spotted a young black bear dead in the median strip.

    This morning in Connecticut, a deer very nearly joined this club by way of my rental car bumper.

    Coolest car I've seen lately was a white Toyota Cressida with a flawless exterior, at the body shop next door to the rental place.

    I saw a Waymo Zeekr this morning in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco.

    Was behind a MGB today with classic plates. It was a hatchback I didn't know about. Guessing it was an earlier one from the little bumperettes.

    Thought I had another MG, but it was a Triumph 2500.

    today: audi R8, i'm a sucker for finding the exotic, best loved from afar though - that V8 is unreliable and terrible to work on plus it's in the middle of the car.

    a couple weeks ago i saw a CNG Civic (mid-2000s era), didn't even know those were produced

    I saw a Crown in person for the first time in my lifetime. It didn't look as SUV styled as the press makes it out. At first glance I mistook it for a Prius. Parked next to my Avalon I can see a resemblance.

    The wagon(Signia?) or the sedan(just Crown in the US)?
    The wagon(Estate in Japan) looks similar to the previous generation Outback.
    The sedan(Crossover in Japan) looks much like other Toyota sedans. It is lifted for more ground clearance.
    There is a true sedan and hatchback in other markets.

    1982 Volkswagen Camper in excellent condition, on I-476 in Pennsylvania this afternoon.

    I was riding in an uber, my first trip in a Kia EV9. Once again, poor rear seat comfort, really seems to be a theme in EVs. The floor is just so high relative to the level of the seat. Very little toeroom and the thigh support is just poor.

    Plymouth Duster - wouldn't have necessarily recognize what it was but for the fact it was perfectly restored - & it had the typical tornado decal on it.
