Saw these within a few miles of my house today while out biking around town...
A Fisker Karma
Not a DIY job. It's a 1996 VW Golf Harlequin. Quite rare...only 264 made.
I see this '71 Targa all the time. Has some incorrect parts but pretty nice overall.
It's always just parked out here on the street...owner has no garage.

This one is pretty unusual. The funny car body has been parked here on the outskirts of Portland for years, but in 2015 the car won an award for 'best appearing' at the NWNationals in Seattle.

3 from a bike ride today. The JDM firetruck is tiny and adorable and appears to be fully-functional. The Land Cruiser is also a RHD JDM car and it is in wonderful condition. The Samurai looks to have brand-fresh paint. The lift is a little much but it's a nice looking rig.

I don't see many Maybachs where I live; this one is really rough up close. Makes me think that even if it were given to me free it would be a bad buy. I'd rather have the bullet-side Datsun pickup posted earlier.

There could be few things more expensive than a cheap Maybach. My friend’s grandmother had a new, pristine one at the time of her death and she left it to her hairdresser.

Turned around last night to snap this Touring. Wrong wheels, of course, no CA plates. The owner of the dispensary collects BMWs- more in the back.

I didn't get a pic, but I did see a Maserati MC20 and an Aston Martin Vanquish in Plano last week.
