Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

Saw this across the street:

Look what I discovered lurking in the corner of the lobby of a huge office tower in Center City Philly! I wasn't expecting a BMW Isetta, much less one that invited folks to open the door and climb in.

There's someone in our neighborhood who has one; now that the weather is getting better it'll probably be out-n-about.

The first time I'd seen an Isetta was at the Vasek Polack BMW dealership. A couple of them were sitting in the reception area alongside two M1s. This was in the mid '80s.

I leared to drive stick in a 76 GT in Krylon blue. This one is a year or two older (and an auto-tragic) but in great shape!

I was a kid when those Celicas came out. My brother and sister got Carinas, which were one (or more like 1/2) step up from the Corollas.
There was a Celica version with wheel well extenders that I thought was so cool!
