Things we see driving around - original content (pictures you snapped)

The rear wheels are similar to those used on some Eclats. Could also be from whatever vehicle that Lotus borrowed from.

The front wheels have a unique design, but I can’t place them.

Whatever it is, the owner needs a new cover for it!

I'll reveal the unretouched front wheel. When I saw the silhouette of the vehicle my first thought was Lotus.
I think the vehicle may be in terrible shape. The pop-up light is not completely closed.

Thanks for playing Guess the Vehicle. I drive in the area about once a week so I may get a chance to see the car with the cover off. Parking is limited to 72 hours in this location but that may not be enforced until someone complains. I have a good chance of catching the car with the cover off unless someone is pickling it in the ocean breeze.

We need more pictures!

What do you think it is, mid 80s Supra?

It seems we are having similar thoughts. 🤯 I thought I remembered a Supra that was sleek with hard edges, almost an origami design, but I can find only pictures of the mid-80s Supra, which isn't sleek enough. The car under the cover looks really low with a very long hood.

Might be a mid-80s Supra A70, like this one.

I am going to die on the Eclat hill. Why, I don’t know.

More likely for Lotus to have random Toyota wheel than vice versa.

Those rear wheels do match. Can't be the A70 Supra I posted, as the Supra has 5 lug nut wheels instead of 4.
 
Some pictures from driving on Highway 1 in San Mateo County.

The Marine layer keeps the coast cool.

Frequently I drive through stretches of foggy areas.


This is mist rising from a field right by the ocean in the foreground. In the background, you can see the marine layer.


My wife calls this my praying mantis driving position.

The beach is always ripe with death.

I suppose this vertebra is from a pelican or cormorant but that's a guess.




And of course, I found another Farallon Island monster - unfortunately, it was quite dead. :p
