Polaris Slingshot in blue.

Took our nephew into the city yesterday for the Canada Day celebrations and saw lots of cool classics driving along the way.  Of all the very nice ones we saw, my wife liked the Studebaker Hawk the most, and not just a little.  She was smitten! ???  I think it had a lot to do with the colour as it was a really unique creamy grey and did look fantastic on that car! 

My nephew was smitten with the newish black V6 Mustang convertible we parked behind.  My wife asked him if he liked it better than my s2000 and he said "Oh yeah, for sure!".  :P  :rofl:

Haha no, but it went from two scoops to one at the ic stand.   ;D

When my wife pressed him he said "Honda's are just not my thing!".  He's 6 years old!   :rofl:

Saw a bunch of nifty cars at the Atlantic Nationals cruise in Moncton on Saturday.  Decided I'm not much for street rods, or anything heavily modified....but would love a 1980's era Camaro/Firebird.

Of the newer vehicles, the newer Mustangs outnumbered the late model Camaro by a huge margin, although there were a lot of newer Corvettes, too.  But the Mustang seems to be the "summer toy" of choice for the empty nesters.

Proof that there was a time when Camaros didn't look like crap:

Saw a 458 Italia and a really nice Cobra replica within a few minutes of each other on the weekend.

That's because of all the tail you're getting.  It's no doubt the reason you refer to your home as "The Stabbin' Cabin"    :rofl: :rofl2:

What looked to be a mid-teens Model T speedster, and a Polaris Slingshot.

That T looks like it was shortened. Odd look with the folding top.
