    On my way back from Yellowstone on US-20, I became grumpy at first when I encountered a poorly-signed detour around the middle of Greybull, Wyoming. I ended up going full-circle and a little more, because there was no obvious sign showing where to get off the detour and rejoin 20 E.

    When I went by a bunch of horses and riders in a staging area pointed into the middle of town, I figured out that instead of getting grumpy, I should get out of the car and take in the Greybull Days of '49.

    Which included a classic car show.

    I can't recount all the cars I spotted, up and down both sides of the street. But I'm pretty sure I had never seen an Isetta before.

    No, you're safe.

    Has to be a real Tesla Cybertruck, seen in person with your own eyes*, outdoors in public.

    Doesn't matter if it is parked, moving, crashed, abandoned, on fire etc.

    *we can probably work out an ADA accommodation for the vision-impaired

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen one, there are so many Tesla around here.
    But then again, I just saw my first gen 5 Prius

    Although with The Game you can just start playing again, at least if you are careful. My best play was 1996-2012. I lost that round to a graffiti in a pub restroom in Knightsbridge, London.

    The first appears to be a Porsche 356 but I couldn't say which year or version.

    The second is a 1973 Volkswagen Thing with some interesting mods.

    ...almost cousins!

    I’m going to have to double check my dashcam but I’m sure I saw a Rolls Royce Spectre EV (had dealer plates).

    Yep - didn't bother posting re it because like the 64½ convertable Mustang - there are more kit replicas than originals running around the landscape.

    1st gen GS300 (haven't seen those in ages)

    1st gen Alphard

    What I think is a Daihatsu Hijet van (Saw it twice and still can't catch the name but the Hijet is the most popular Daihatsu kei van)

    4th Gen Camaro convertible (red with white stripes). Z28 trim??

    Lotus Elise

    1st Gen HiHy with plates that are older than the car! (So, likely the original owner)

    Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

    And a Hummer H2 (rare given gas prices. Ppl would rather have a newer European SUV if they were getting that kind of mpg around here)
