    Not-terrible cars getting towed after their owners got arrested for street racing (in this case, for trespassing on private property):

    1 NA Miata, 1 NB Miata, and 2 350Z

    Usually it's beater compact FWD cars.

    It seems like I've seen 458's at least once a week along the coast lately.

    Saw a Hillman Super Minx. It passed me on my bicycle as I was struggling out of the Conestogo River Valley. Later I had got to Canadian Tire, and I realized the same car was beside me as I was waiting to turn left at the mostly T intersection.

    Baby blue, with a white roof. And, strangely, left-hand drive. Although from the early sixties, it had small tail fins, reminscent actually of some models of Plymouth Valiant, which is about the size it was. (Large for a British car). But according to wikipedia, although it was a Rootes group car, Rootes wasn't quite part of Chrysler yet, and the car didn't share any design or engineering with Valiants.

    There's someone in my neighbourhood who's building a rat rod or something out of, what appears to be, an old ('50s or '60s) British sports car that I don't recognize. I passed it on the street twice last week. I'll get a shot of it if I see it again and post it up here.

    I talked to the owner today. It's a Bugatti kit car built over a VW. He and his son welded a new nose on. He called it an "Indy nose." It's for sale and needs work.

    This asshat in a Maserati is setting up to use the right turn only lane to pass the nearly gridlocked cars and go straight through. It was the third time I saw him do it in the last couple of miles and I was on my bike. For all of his aggressive line cutting, an old guy on a bike was keeping up with him.
