I appreciate the sense of humor of someone who would drive a life-sized hot wheels car.

Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

A Porsche 356, indeed. And if it's not a replica, a pretty rare one. The notchback coupe was only produced for 2 years.
And I think this calls for a Limerick.
And you do too!
There once was a car called, a Lotus.
Whose nice-looking lines, I did notice.
I ask you all here,
Which model and year,
Answer carefully, because people may quote us.

Looks like an Elan +2, a longer, 2+2 version of the Elan. Not sure about the year though.

Tesla roadster. Photos don't do justice to how tiny it is.
Possibly the closest I will evet get to a Bugatti Veyron:
Hello again, everyone.
This oddball, whatever it is has been in my neighborhood since about October.
I have no idea what it is.
One person only.
Makes a golf cart look like spacious!
Anyone?

That looks like the little city cars that I've seen in Amsterdam, but I've never seen one in the US.
Well...it's a little too big to be a "Little Tikes" car, so...I got nothin'.
I saw a lot of similar micro electric cars during travels in China a few years ago. There are many stylistic variations. They weren't exactly legal for road use and also not specifically illegal. They were a stepping stone between being able to afford a motorcycle and a car.Well...it's a little too big to be a "Little Tikes" car, so...I got nothin'.
It's an RFM Smile.
Those windows tinted that dark are illegal in NY, but then again if I was forced to drive that thing I wouldn't want anyone to see me in it.
Ha!
As I said, this little thing has been in the same spot for a few months.
As far as I can tell it hasn't moved, and I never see anyone near it.

The original Tesla roadster was built with nearly 50% Lotus Elise car parts including a 4" extended car frame. Less than 2500 units were built making them somewhat of a rare collector car today. They had a 0-60 mph time of around 3.7 seconds which was considered fast for when they made their debate in 2008. Photo shows an original roadster next to a C7 Vette to show the smaller scale of car size.

I didn't know the Prius had gotten so sporty:
"What if Smart Car, but even more claustrophobic?"
I dig it! I think Toyota did a damn good job with the restyle. Only problem is that it seems to be the only car model that's a bit smaller than previous generations...
I guess it's a little deuce coupe.
