    We got a foot of snow and saw two little Kia Souls stuck in ditches and even a Tesla stuck in a ditch. Also saw a Ford Explorer that must've spun and ran right into a telephone pole...major damage to that thing!!!
    All the tire stores will be VERY busy this week as folks decide they might need decent tires here!

    I'm in Palm Springs, California this week. Really freaky town for throwback architecture, people and cars.

    Today's treasure was a 6th generation Cadillac Sedan De Ville in showroom condition.

    ...I don't even like GM cars and I was quite taken with the sight of this thing. Whole chunks of this town are time capsules from the early 90s.

    I had to re-read twice to see that you actually wrote “throwback people” haha.

    When I was in the UK, I saw a lot of PHEVs and EVs. The most common was the MG4. Saw a 330e Touring, a C300de ( yes, a diesel PHEV also wagon), iX3, Enyaq, MG5 EV wagon, e:Ny1. Rode in the LEVC TX (their PHEV London cabs).


    And I saw a Ferrari Purosangue.

    I honestly don't know how else to put it. I certainly haven't met everyone here, but the handful of chatty uber drivers and strangers I've run into really seem like they're from a different time.

    Same with Palm Desert - next door neighbors to the South/East. One of my wife's childhood friends, a retired FBI agent (she has a 2nd home there - & she still sports a 40cal in her purse) is like stepping back to the days of president kennedy. Freaky describes more than just the mid-century modern look all around. She tells us there's a higher than average 'look the other way' attitude to creepypedo activity. splane that mr wizard
