I spotted this incredibly clean Volvo Amazon Coupe passing people on the highway in the pouring rain. That requires some balls and refined taste.
I saw a bunch of forgotten Detroit sedans on a recent trip out to the boonies (Calhoun Ga). Among them was this surprisingly clean Olds Cutlass Ciera with red interior and a Ford Contour (I don’t blame you for not remembering this ovular beige mobile).
Random glitch in the Matrix
This would never happen in the rust belt. It seems like most minivans have been phased out of work fleets; I wonder why.
Torch’s book, spotted in the wild. I wanted to buy this but my birthday is coming up. (Not exactly a “Bonanza” but I like alliteration)

I bet that minivan was an ex-post office vehicle that they bought dirt cheap through a government auction.
The Amazon is fantastic. I’ve never seen one in person.

Actually, I used to see those all the time as service vans for the AT&T facility near me. I have never seen a non LLV deliver the mail.
EDIT: also, the Amazon has a slightly off center rear fuel cap that I only noticed reviewing the pictures.

In my area minivans with the cages like that were very common for routes that were primarily businesses where they needed to carry lots of packages or where they were walking routes and being LHD wasn’t a hindrance. The post office that was near my old apartment didn’t have any LLVs at all actually. I’ve seen a pretty even mix of Dodges and Chevys.

Well, the cage is spot on. It must have been a government auction. In Georgia, a crappy heater and no air conditioning isn’t as important as RHD because of mild winters, so I haven’t seen one.
