But boost is a dish best served cold.

I can’t take my eyes off of the house. That style always screams “We ran out of siding, but damn I sure have a lot of extra shingles!”

I like it! Looks so nice when weathered. It’s on Martha’s Vineyard, pretty much all houses out there are in this style.

Yeah, I was gonna say outside of New England, it’s really rare. Partly because cedar(?) is so damned expensive, you have to start with a multi-million dollar house to make it worthwhile. Lasts a really long time, though, and naturally insect-resistant.

Man, I’m getting old. Amazing car, great shot. The cedar shakes actually make the composition and texture really interesting, along with the pebble driveway.

thanks! seeing it again if I edited now I would bring up the whites a bit to get the true creamer white color of the car

My FIL had a ‘65 SL230 (Pagoda) in the cream color, it was amazing. Originally gray, but the re-spray was a good job and matched the correct factory color.

I love those. I daydream about a restomod Pagoda with modern AMG running gear. That an a reimagined BMW 507 with a carbon fiber body and E92 M3 mechanicals. I’ll see myself out....

In most areas with houses like this, ‘siding’ is frowned upon unless it’s natural wood or something that’s six times as expensive to maintain. Many towns have ordinances against fake wood and loud colors.

Similarly, if the house has aluminum/vinyl siding, odds are there will not be a vintage car in the garage. More likely a leased Land Rover and a convertible BMW 6-series.
