carmudgeons.com - Notable car sighting thread

I saw a Mitsubishi Miev last night. Actually, I had the misfortune to get stuck behind one on the way home from the store. It was so slow the driver couldn't keep up with arterial speed limits.

And . . . it looks worse in person.

The Corvette should have donated it burlap bag to cover this thing up.

I really don't like the Smart cars but at least they have a sense of style in comparison.

I've always despised "egg-shaped" cars. Even the new Civic is starting to look like one.

I just don't get the appeal of them....

I lost a drag race to a 323iT yesterday. The Smart Car just couldn't do it. The 323, uh, didn't appear to realize that I was trying to get in front.

Couple of sightings in the last couple weeks.

The Jeep is for the bumper sticker...

The FourRunner has Classic Car plates... In AZ any car over 25 model years old qualifies. I'm getting old...

I was behind a CLA on the way home yesterday. I didn't think it looked *taht* horrible in photos, but in real life from a rear three-quarter view...baby Mr. Stay Puft was all I could think of.

Then, I became mesmerized by the blind spot warning lights in the side mirrors. I kept pulling forward and back to turn the lights on and off. It was fun for a couple minutes in a sick sort of way.

Whoa! I never said the Smart was significantly better. I just said it at least had some style.

And the Miev looks worse in person.
