There's a bookstore in Seattle that specializes in car books, so I like to drop in from time to time. I pulled up yesterday and was greeted by this beautiful Chevy Laguna S3.



I mentioned it to the owner of the store and he said "Eh. A little too common for me." Then he pointed to his Subaru Sambar Try XV daily driver in the back. One of just six in the US.

 
You're right about the Dart. That body style was a long-lived one, available from 1967 to 1976, and that peaked nose was on the last four years, 1973 to 1976.

The perks of going to a club gym is seeing cars like this regularly. A somewhat clean Supra Turbo Mk. IV. Talked to the owner.

Came up behind, and overtook a new Defender 110, with a prototype vehicle sticker above it's back window.

Looked very good in gold, the taillights are quite distinctive. I also like the Jerry can inspired silver panel on the c-pillar.
 
I'd concur somewhat with Jon's line of reasoning. I pedal my way around and I'm not about to put myself (and others) at risk for the sake of a photo. Cars are nice but not that nice. Its very rarerly I see a car that I havent seen before. The old classics and Ferraris Jags Bugattis Lambo's from the Mille Miglia days and GT races are worth a picture but they are only seen in summer. Modern cars are boring. They have no soul or beauty. Praise where it is due - just a thought.
 
Here are my spots from mid-January to now:

Wow! That Lebaron. My Mom had a two-tone blue hardtop, back in the early '90s.

Caught this hot rod, Mustang and I think a Superfast(?). Couldn't get a proper look when the light turned green.
