Apologies to all for mis-posting about the CX-7 in this thread. I was in a rush to head out Friday I guess I didn't notice I click on the wrong thread.

The new 22" decal definitely classes this up further.

Nice- the wheels are probably worth more than the car. Is that an older impala?

That's a fairly recent (last 5 years) model, I THINK.

Also a $260/mo parking space, so the owner is probably doing ok financially.

Here's some more pics from yesterday's National Plug-In Day event that I went to.

There were 9 Model S that showed up, 3 Tesla Roadsters, 4-5 Leafs, a couple electric Foci, a Rav 4 EV, and a few conversions (including the Z4 and Porsche 912 posted below).

The event was held at a regular Saturday car meet, but the EVs had their own section for the day.

I also posted some pics of a couple other interesting cars.
  • The "Wind Up Bug" is one that I see driving around town every few months -- but had never had a chance to get a picture of.
  • The quasi-Ferrari looking thing is a conversion of an '83 Camaro and apparently one of 12 made. It was kid of interesting from a distance, but awkwardly proportioned when you got close. Its for sale, and the owner is asking $29.5k
