1) Big tailpipe for generator motor
2) Lots of Brutalist architecture in Houston?

I went out on a limb there... it was evocative of brutalism to me, but I'm no expert on the subject. Thanks though!

Was out a little while ago and saw a ~2002-2003 325i non-SP sedan...

...badged as an M3.

It is only Brutalist if you can't see anything recognizable as a door. :lol:

They do turn one's head. Definitely a hot-looking car.

I saw the Flintstone's car.

It's park in front of a house in Kirkland (WA) and, yes, it's made out of real logs. Has a "for sale" sign if anyone is interested.

Not sure how well the engine runs, YMMV.

Sorry, didn't stop to take a picture.

I occasionally see this driving around Scottsdale -- its a replica of the car form Woody Allen's early 70s film "Sleeper":

Lately, I've seen a bunch of Maserati's. Mostly the newer GranTurismo coupes (and I've seen 3-4 just this week), but I was behind a Quatroporte on the way home from work on Tues...
