Spotting thread! Did you see any special cars on the road today?

Disney really liked GM, eh? I guess Ford wasn't too happy about that lol. I bet Disney gave GM quite a bit of business based on what you said @hill. Can't deny that GM has been a good manufacturer overall, and that's not just cars (many railroad workers will tell you old GM/Electro-Motive diesel locomotives were unparalleled for reliability). My family has a 1999 Chevy Suburban that we bought used awhile ago now, but it still runs great. Old GM trucks are pretty hard to kill.

 

On the Crown Signia, all of the badges in the back are removable, except the Toyota badge/logo, which has posts and holes in the sheet metal.

SM-G781V ?

 

I think the Camry oned are removeable too. The Camry likely has the same front logo as the Crown Signia since the car has the new "hammerhead shark" design. **sigh**

 

A minute ago I saw my first Mirai. It was quieter than I expected (it drove by me in a parking lot), and also a lot bigger. I guess hydrogen tech takes up more space because it seems bigger than a Camry. Not sure I like the looks either.

 

I saw a Crown this morning. And every time I hear the name, this is what I think of, mainly because a nearby rental house had about 10 tenants, all doing door-dash, and they had a motley collection of vehicles, more than a few right-hand drive, including a black, older Crown. This morning's:

 

They complied with changes needed for RHD cars in Canada? I think. at a minimum, headlights are aimed totally differently and likely would need to be replaced.

 

Two unique cars in one day! Just saw a Lucid Air. Not the most handsome but better than Tesla in my opinion.

 

Not sure. We're evidently VERY lax here in BC. There "are" rules on the books I'm sure, but just looking at whats rolling down our streets, you wouldn't know. Lots of late model cars with no daytime running lights, and BC plates.

 

I would guess CA reg's may be lax .... in that we've spotted several asian micro vans sporting Canadian plates - when they come south - visiting Flathead Valley Montana.
Lots of utility, with the resilience of a beer can.

 

Yup here in California regs are somewhat lax on certain things. I live in San Diego County and you will see most drivers here don't run DRLs (and there are some fools that do at night with no other lights) or front license plates. While I think both are "required" I've never seen an instance where someone was called out for the lack of a front plate.

 

LOL I think @hill meant Canada, not California. I did a double-take too.

 

Ha
you peeps are killin' me ....

But is really was country vs state.
Being originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada I try to look closely when I see ontario or Ontario, CA to see if it means Canada or California. (province or city vs province/country vs city/state)

 

Many country codes have been grabbed for other uses too.
The island nation of Tuvalu makes a lot of money from people using .tv to mean television.

 

Lol. At least my post made sense for that topic though. My brain is wired to see the good ol' state abbreviations in these instances so my apologies to the Canadians.

 

No local BMW option?

 

I love that rugged utilitarian styling, just not the price.
