I was in Florida all this week. Here’s the cool stuff I saw.
First off, this lovely Kia Sportage Convertible. With VTEC!
Lamborghini Urus: 1 seen. I dub thee Big Chungus.
Maserati Levante: 2, one on the road, one at the rental garage
Civic Type R: 1 seen
Chevrolet Captiva: 1 seen, possibly the only one in the contiguous US
Mk3 Jetta: 1 seen, white, no working taillights... same
Suzuki Forenza: 1, these exist!
Ford Mustang GT350: like 20, they’re everywhere
Polaris Slingshot: a lot. Maybe 10 or so? A few had the weird canvas top on them.
Nissan 300zx 2+2: 1
Chevy SSR: 1
Pontiac G6 GTP: 1
Tacomas: more than I can count
Brotrucks: too many
Minitrucks: not enough, but more than none
A stanced as hell E36 M3 (sad!)
A G37 coupe and a 370z Nismo (with a Fairlady Z badge. Is this stock? Who cares, it looked cool) racing... on a crowded highway. Not exciting!
Fiat 500 Abarths! Good!
RC350: I only saw one. More people should buy these. My buddy has an RC F and it blows me away. They should make it in drop top.
A first-generation Honda CR-V, but with no rear diff. Maybe a FWD one with an AWD subframe? Weird.
An Isuzu Rodeo. Neat!
GT Cruiser- turbo power!
Geo Metro hatchback
Clean DSMs: way more than expected. Many more than expected, and most weren’t even drop tops.
11th Gen Thunderbirds: I never see them in Ohio, but I saw maybe 20 here. This is where they belong.
A Z4 Coupe. You rarely see these, but they’re wonderful
An Aircooled VW Bus. I don’t think I’d want to own one of these in a salty, humid environment where temperatures regularly crest into the 90s, but you do you, man.
A matte black Kia Amanti. I always liked the looks of these.
Hundreds of Harleys. I was in Daytona Beach during Bike Week. I saw just as many Goldwings. Their riders were easily differentiated from the Harley riders, as they wore polos instead of leather vests. Also, trikes.

Honestly I think candy pink is highly underrated for a car color

NGL , I'd drive the fuck outta that Kia.

It still trips me out that someone down the street from me owns and dailies a Maserati Levante. In baby shit brown ” gold.”

I really like the paint on that Kia. The shell pink, flowers, and Ron Jon sticker? Beautiful.
