Just wait until the Scion IQ comes out - everything will seem large next to it

Cool.

I saw some this weekend in Half Moon Bay. I played golf at the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links. The hotel there had a program where guests could take them for a test drive down PCH.

I used to play that course every few months when I lived in San Jose. Back then, the hotel wasn't there yet, and the course was relatively inexpensive (I don't think I paid more than $75)... Its one of my favorite courses...

It is $184 now, which isn't all that bad.

I love the course. This was my second time playing it.

Played the tips and shot a 37 on the front, 46 on the back. The wind really picked up. ~30 mph winds can be difficult.

Not that notable but the first I've seen:

New Ford Explorer.

Looks sharp. Good job, Ford!

I saw a Cadillac DTS convertible on the way home the other day.

Like this, but red:

I saw an early 80s Mercury Colony Park station wagon being waxed and detailed at the car wash on Thurs. The same car wash that was also detailing a Studebaker Avanti (original from the early 60s, not one of the later remakes) the last time I was there.

Going the other way while I was on my way home the other evening.

A Porsche 550 Spyder... Probably a replica, but you never know out here...
