I saw a pristine Edsel yesterday when we accidently merged in behind it as part of the Canada Day parade procession in small town Sussex.   I guess they forgot to put the barrier up on the street we exited.  We wondered why all these people were waving at us as we were driving by, but as we were in the shiny roadster they just figured we were part of the parade and I was too busy gawking at the Edsel to even notice at first.  We eventually slid into the Tim's parking lot about half a block ahead laughing like a couple of fools.  :rofl:

drove by the new Lamborghini dealership in town...

saw the cars, but the most memorable thing i saw, two tall blond models in tight black dresses....   they had some sort of event going on.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

One year my parents drove from here to Kingston Ont on the 4th of July, took Route 2 from Skowhegan Maine to upstate NY, same thing happened to them in some small town in Maine.  They laughed about it for quite a while.

Three Tesla's beside each other charging at the airport. Think there was room for one more. Does it only come in black?

My Tesla came with the green plates, as many other Tesla owners received, it allows EV's to drive in carpool lanes with only one person in the car.  I've only ever used the carpool lanes when driving with the family, so I'm not sure why I didn't put the personalized plates I used to have on my Camaro on the Tesla...but the green plates look nice, so there is that.

1973 or 1974 AMC Javelin AMX. By this time AMX was a trim line on the Javelin not a separate model. Spotted in Canadian Tire parking lot. 1965 Ford Fairlane (red) in the background.

Couldn't snap a picture, on the way home rom work yesterday I saw a cream colored Studebaker Avanti.  Looked to be in great shape.  Not sure I've seen one in person before, it looked a little smaller than I thought it would be.
