EDIT - Re-post for the morning crowd...

Just some cool spots I’ve seen lately, in no particular order! :)

YAY!!!! JDM import Suzuki Carry kei truck in Mahone Bay! I still ponder if I should get one of my own sometime! I don’t care that they are basic, underpowered and unsafe! :P This one would be around a 1999-2002 model.

Man, that ride on the left must be slow.....like 1hp. Then again, it IS powered by one horse, so....the perks of living near a tourist town!

An original FIAT 124 Spider in Lunenburg on my way home this afternoon from one of my many jaunts today...not sure if that blue is an original paint color, but it looked REALLY nice and was metallic, so very shimmery in the sun. Awesome!

Oops...pardon the seek bar at the bottom of the screen! Following the Lunenburg Fire Department’s 1930s Chevrolet fire engine. It’s in perfect working order, pumps, equipment and everything! They drive it around the town often for fun to give it a workout and give smiles to tourists. Very cool old girl!

Following an MG-A!

It may be garish, but I still love seeing FCA’s ‘Hemi Orange’ paint on RAMs and Dodge Darts! :D

VW Karmann-Ghia in Mahone Bay along the waterfront! :)

It may have been not particularly sporty and a whale of a sports car, but I quite liked this Eclipse....they were always very rare here, even moreso now. At least it reminds me of a time when Mitsubishi made something interesting in the North American market...

More interesting things to come as the summer rolls along, I’m sure! This is when all the interesting stuff comes out to play! :)

Solar Yellow, only available on 2015+ models. Super rare colour, even more rare with manual.

No idea if this one was a manual, but it looked very nice! I’ve always loved more ‘golden’ shades of yellow...big fan of the color!

Another neat colour that’s yellow-ish is Atomic Gold, only available in 2013 & 2014.

It’s also one of my favourite articles about a Juke.

Yup! There is one of those around as well, although I’ve not seen it in awhile....most of the ones I see daily are red or that deeper tomato-y red...?

You’ll just have to come visit again sometime! Do the loop up around Cape Breton on the Cabot Trail - one of the country’s great driving roads! :)

It was gorgeous...the paint was a bit faded, but still shiny (looked like it’d been washed as well).

I was driving past and saw the rear end out of the corner of my eye and actually came back to catch it on my dashcam. :)

Cayenne Red. The most common colour that’s not black, white, or silver. Same colour as mine.

Sounds like my car....the navy blue-gray on mine is the most common color for my generation of Accents. I quite like it though, especially when the light hits it as it’s metallic. :)
