Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

So this "hybrid" lives in the alley behind me:

Is that the 633CSi?

I remember being a big fan of that car in the '80s. Such a clean, classy look.
I don't think so. My friend had a 633 and the lines are a bit different. Also this car just had the "M" badge on the back. By the taillights, this looked more like an early 80s 3 series 2 door. I agree about the 633, though - very classy car. My friend's was beautiful navy blue, which suited it perfectly.

Today I saw this Datsun 240z outside of a different hardware store in town -

These don't come around very often, and it might be the first R8 I've seen parked in my neighborhood in downtown Philly. Fantastic cars, and this one gets major props for having a stick shift. Took the pic yesterday and, oddly enough, on my way to a house painting project today, I ended up behind another R8 on the highway. Plate read: "My 401k." It sounded awesome.

Those are just gorgeous. I also like the Lexus LC 500 which is arguably...um...inspired by the R8.
