    I was at Brighton beach today and saw a Maserati Levante and an Aston Martin DB9. Both were black.

    There's a surprising amount of mid-size cars from the 90s and 2000s with aftermarket vinyl roofs on the internet. There aren't any that I could find of the same generation of Sonata that I saw, but I did find this

    There's some others, mostly Camrys, Panther platform cars, a few Buicks, there's even a Ford Escort with a vinyl roof.

    here we go
    Sunday, 28th of May:
    Tuning meet in a mall car park.
    2 NSX, 2 S14 Kouki, S15, Audi R8s, 2 Supras, MR2 SW20, 2 drift R33 Skylines, RX-8 drift car, many golfs, 2 R34 Skylines (one was not a GTR, the other one was a 2F2F replica, idk if that was one), Subarus, a fully stock S2k, it goes on and on.
    One week later: Classic car meet.
    Ferrari 512TR, RX-7 FB, one of these 59 Ford Galaxies with the cool roof, a Hanomag Komissbrot, and more.
    the atmosphere was so different from the other meet, this one was just old people with their classics.

    Today:
    Took a look at not one, but two project cars, and I hope the deal works out, because there is a very real chance it won't.
    anyways, Wolseley Princess, one of nine LHD cars and a prototype (different car) even I believe.
    Triumph TR8, Rover SD1, 2.5 Reliant Robins (one was a body, one was a partscar and one was a cut off front end), a Steyr 50 (the car, not the tractor), a Jaguar XJ40, multiple Rover 75 and more.
    and a Miata NA on the way back

    Classic car shows are so much better— cool old guys with cool old cars. It’s way more fun than teenagers showing off their dumb mods.

    Today I went to a local ice cream place, and they had a very cool F-series lifted farm truck (70s-80s, I believe).

    Also, a local Ford dealer had a Custom Black 2017 Mustang with racing accessories.

    Voyager looks like it could still be driven today, just a little work needs to be done on it (and some fresh gas). Appears that it has been abandoned recently, with registration from 2012.

    (me when I realize that was over 10 years ago :sad: )
