Gold/black Trans-Am owners are funny. Our Starsky Torino owner runs into them all the time at Cars and Coffee and classic shows, and they are, more often than not, incredibly upset by the fact that some people recognize their car from Smokey and the Bandit. There's a stock DeLorean guy that has come to a few of our events, but he blows his lid every time over people making BTTF comments, which is understandable. I believe his gripe would be 100% legitimate, if it weren't for the fact that his license plate reads 882FUTR.

Spotted this brill little Volvo. Notable only for the fact that it's still alive, and that it's clearly been loved. It was about as good as a car like this could possibly be, given it's a daily driver. The guy who owned it looked like David Attenborough, but twice as old.

There's a car that I see round the corner from me in DC a lot that has an NC plate that reads l@l l@l so it's quite possible it's legit.

It's as if in 1968, the Camaro guys came to the Corvair guys and said, "Look; I know we ripped off the Camaro's styling from you, but we're selling more than you, so Roche says Corvair has to change its look." So Corvair went to Bertone and turned out this beauty.
