Today on the freeway I saw a copper colored BMW i8. The yellow on black personalized license plate was "Cu i8" with the capitalize "U" made into a lower case "u" and the capitalized "I" made into a lower case "i". It must have been done with paint cause I doubt it was tape. I couldn't get close enough to tell.

How’s about a 190sl returning to earth?

Not mine. I've seen this Singer around the neighborhood for a few years and finally today I saw it at the store. She sounds as good as she looks.

There is a shop not terribly far from me that works on all kinds of vintage sports cars. They often have Porsche's sitting on their shop apron, and some vintage race cars. Today they had one of these.... |

I catalog all the out of the ordinary cars I see on the streets of Washington DC on my Finstagram (fake Instagram) account.
Give it a follow: https://instagram.com/capitolcarspotting?utm_medium=copy_link

I think he means it's tiny, and in a contest with a modern lifted pickup it would feel like a big speed bump.

If that is the case, then lifted pickups should be illegal. Oh wait, they are!

But was it wrong hand drive with all the forbidden options on it?, a buddy has one of those, pretty sweet, except for the steering wheel location.
