No pics, unfortunately, but yesterday on the way home I saw a beautiful old, chopped, channeled "Lead Sled" (49-50 something or another, reminded me of Stalone's car in the movie "Cobra") being followed by an equally beautiful similar year pick up truck (the truck didn't look chopped, but may have been channeled).
Today on the way home I slowly passed a beautiful BMW Z8. I've never really looked at them much other than remembering seeing a few and seeing them in the magazines when they came out. Passing it (no traffic to speak of) I got a nice long look. THey are really beautiful cars, what a money is no object miata would be, and the interior looked like it was probably similar. Man, what an amazing car!

Wow, I didn’t even post pictures of the new VW van I have in my phone. At the dealer half a mile away in DTLA where I buy parts:
     Taken about a month ago.

That's funny. I love it when people play with car letters or badges...The Toyota "Taco" is a popular one and I recently saw a Nissan "TITS" PU truck.

I was driving an hour ago next to a Tesla and could not get a shot quickly enough but it had an Abu Dubai license plate that was just the number 7. That plate is worth easily 10x what the car is worth.

I might have under valued that plate:

A couple more JDM imports from yesterday's bike ride; a tiny kei truck and the marvelously named "Town Ace" van from Toyota.
