Saw a very clean Aerostar with a Quebec plate last night.  I haven't seen those in years.

A first gen Volkswagen Scirocco, have not seen one in years.

Always thought Giugiaro did an excellent job with that one:

To the naysayers who think Teslas are purely city cars. Takes a bit of extra planning and extra long stops to recharge but hey free "fuel".

In Vancouver I've seen several Teslas with New Jersey, New York, and Florida plates among others.

The pics are pirated from a member of our local car forum but I've seen this thing driving before but never could get a good pic. Apparently an older gent built this (2nd one He's done) I guess he getting on in years so doubtful another is in the works. It's so cool and his craftsmanship looks great!

Couple guys on my forum were convinced it was a Fiat Strada which looks quite similar.

I thought about doing that to a Caravan. Unfortunately it is the transmission that is the weak link and hauling heavy stuff likely doesn't help it.

Fob, is that a crack in your windshield?

This evening saw a baby blue Nissan Figaro.

The Figaro's styling is often said to be inspired by small Italian cars, but it is more likely to have been inspired by the East German Zwickau P70 coupé, the sedan and wagon versions of which evolved into the Trabant.

If you find a car in Alberta without a cracked windshield, then it's in the parking lot of the glass shop and hasn't been driven anywhere yet.

Stumbled across a car show on the way home from golf yesterday at the Monkey Joe's parking lot. Didn't have time to hang out too long, but I did snap a few shots quickly.
