    I think the blue referred to an engine tech. Though a search shows they've used it to denote an eco trim.

    Had to look this sucker up when I got home from a casino yesterday. Apparently it's pretty new to the market. Under $6K afaict. A single seater ev? Who knew!
    Didn't see where they're made but available in the USA. Upon asking - the owner said it'll do 35 MPH once he removed the 15-18mph governor. Range ..... a measly 30 miles.

    Hey everyone who wants to spend more than an hour in that, line forms here! :ROFLMAO:

    All it needs is some handrails down the sides for the pallbearers to grab onto.

    Today so far, a really clean first gen Acura NSX, a first gen Prius, and a vintage restored Challenger R/T.

    I saw a Camaro this morning that looked remarkably fresh. I think it was the final generation. Usually when I do see one it's completely shagged out.

    I'm in a kia forte rental this week, work travel. It drives pretty nice but the carplay thing was very clunky.

    I saw a 2025 camry available at hertz and was very interested, but it had "no keys" written on the window so I moved on. At least I didn't get stuck with an Altima.

    Hertz "president's circle" has become a bit of a dumping ground. I guess they added 3 or 4 more tiers above it.

    Today I got a real treat. A stunning Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica pulled up at our Little League fields (apparently owned by the parent of a player on one of the teams). The guy gave it a bit of gas on the way out and oh my, those POPS!

    I've seen a pair of MGBs, a 1940 Ford panel van and a 1930s street rod in the past few days.

    Oh, and I saw a pair of North Carolina State Trooper cars displayed at a public event. They appeared to be 1986 Ford Mustangs in showroom condition. shudder. That iteration/generation is why a lot of people my age never liked Detroit muscle.

    I'm not usually one to spot two-wheelers, but I did see a pair of classic Royal Enfield cafe racers parked along a side street in downtown Nashville yesterday.

    Got tricked today lol. I saw what looked look a Gen 1 Viper driving towards me in the opposite lane. When I got close enough to see the side it turned out to be a Gen 2 Miata. Oh well, one can keep dreamin'.
