Saw an early 1980s VW Rabbit Pickup truck turning onto Industrial Avenue from Riverside Drive. Wow, when was the last time you saw one of those...?It looked a look like this, flat black paint and all:
The Iraqi Taxis were never delivered because the Iran-Iraq war broke out...
black Fiat X-1/9light blue early/mid 80's Chevy Malibu 2 door coupé, the square one. Maybe it was this one (image is a courtesy of Wiki http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%2781_Chevrolet_Malibu_Coupe_(Orange_Julep).jpg )

I followed a Tesla during my commute this morning, the only one I've seen in ottawa. Nice looking motor but it looks really wide. Strangely wide.
I saw an absolutely pristine Volvo P1800 today. What a beautiful car!
New Flyer's electric bus.
A mauve Impala SS 2 door from the '60s sometime in G this AM. One forgets that car exhaust used to smell!
With powerful enough inductive chargers at every stop these could be made to run non-stop I suppose. What kind of batteries and what capacity does this one use?
Spotted while car shopping this morning.
