A girlfriend's folks had one in the "Eurosport" trim package.

I just saw a fairly minty looking Pontiac 6000 today. Which is weird as its snowing and crappy out, so its not a collectors item. Was a fairly young, broccoli head driving it, so probably a gift from grandparents, but hadn't seen one of those in a while.

Saw my first current-gen 7-Series, all black. Has a distopian chauffered leader limo vibe to it. No idea if it was the gasser or the EV.

Funny, I *think* I saw once last week at DTW airport with personalized plate "Heiress"

This isn't a positive, but was at a stop light when I noticed a blue haze in front of me, what was the cause, a new generation Yukon Denali. When I drove by it, that engine sounded like a communist block diesel. Its so sad that freakin' GM can't make a decent V8 anymore, so embarrassing.

You're in Alberta. It was probably a diesel with a delete and tune to produce maximum smoke and noise, because, Alberta. Oddly enough, there are a total of five 6.2L v8's in my family and NONE have detonated yet. I keep waiting, because internet says they have a 100% fail rate...

I was surprised by the amount of Yank vehicles being driven in the Netherlands, with gas at $3.95 per litre. The most common: new RAM 1500, always black, always HEMIs. Saw many Mustangs, a C8 and lots of vintage stuff, from a mid-'80s Caprice wagon to a '60s Suburban panel van, Squarebodies, late-model Challengers, etc.

First Euro country where I did not see tons of Toyotas and Hyundais. Hondas and Subarus pretty scarce. Probably because of these gas prices, tons of EVs all over the place.

My rental for the one day we had a car was an upgrade from what I had booked (Peugeot 2008 manual), Dacia Jogger Hybrid - 4.7 l/100 km without trying.

I was in my buddy's when it blew on the highway. Mid-pass, engine just died. Zero drama, except engine was toast.

Was in Regina this weekend for a wedding. Not going to mention the roads, holy crap who bombed you people!??!?!?, but what I noticed, a ton of Escalades. We were staying at the Hotel Saskatchewan, and every time I was outside I saw tons of them of every generation. It was just weird as I haven't seen that many since were in Scottsdale, AZ.

This was definitely a gasser, I can smell the stink of a deleted diesel from a mile away.
