    0-60 in 2.99s.  

    Plenty fast but not going to get anyone too excited these days, when the Tesla Model S plaid beats it by a full second. 

    Nevertheless, I'll be watching the release of this DeLorean with curiosity.   
    Someone hasn't watched Back to the Future I'm guessing  :D

    Saw this at yesterday's eggfest, not exotic but a sweet old truck
    Looks like a mini next to the gmc
    Very cool. I love an old workhorse. 

    Interesting size comparison too. I’ve long held that North America has a bit of an issue in that regard - our vehicles keep getting bigger while our infrastructure (i.e., roads, shoulders, parking spaces, etc.) does not. Often find myself having to watch for bigger vehicles on the road because they are unable to stay in their lanes. The increasing sizes also carry implications in the event of accidents with other, smaller vehicles.

    Oh I have, and I love the movie and the car.  Kind of funny but look up the 0-60 time of the original DeLorean when you get a chance.  I want to say it was around 11 seconds, which is comically slow by today’s standards.

    Saw my first Rivian R1T in the wild yesterday.  I was driving, so I did the responsible thing and didn't take a picture of it.  The headlights are weird, but overall, I like it.

    There are a bunch of them around me. They are interesting looking that’s for sure. They are bigger than they look.

    Is there more than one model of Rivian truck? Cause ive seen a few of them and the ones I've seen are smaller than a Toyota Tacoma. Somewhere between the Ford Maverick and the Tacoma. I wouldn't trust them to haul more than a few bags of mulch in the back but the way it was marketed I thought it was a full size 1/2 ton pickup truck.

    It’s crazy.  The kids were crawling in and out.  He had his wineglass first on the Pista limited edition, then the Aventador.  We hang out all day eating and drinking wine.  All day cookout.

    My sister in law has the SUV ordered. When they went to Red Rocks last month they stopped at a staging yard. Had 20 of the pickups on the grounds. My brother said bigger than a Ranger but smaller than a 150.

    Great shots, Frank. Maybe JD will consider hiring you as an assistant for a shoot!

    That '63 split-window is my kinda kink. I would sell all the body parts I could live without to own one of those!

    @Langner91 - As you well know, they are out there to be had but well out of my orbit.  Sad story, I had a fraternity brother in college (early '70's-old here) who owned a black one (yes-no issues with snagging a ride in more ways than one!!) and sold it to buy a 1969 911.  I kicked his ass then and to this day on an annual basis I remind him of his decision. 
    Of course, at the time the landscape was different but the unique nature of the split window became obvious in 1964 when it was no longer offered.  FWIW-

    Great photos. What do you drive to that kind of event, @jdMyers, @lousubcap?

    Frank, I hope you had your Miata impeccably polished for the occasion!

    Fortunately the parking was a ways off-site (shuttle service at least for me @jdMyers may have had a different deal...).  Basic transportation but not electric or hybrid.  😁

    Laughing, you drive what you have and park near the front.  Nobody's even looking at what I'm driving.

    Today the fuzzy little misses and I drove up the coast of Maine and pulled into a small clam shack. .As we're waiting for our food outside, this couple pulled up in a fairly new, bright red, topless Ferrari. Awesome car, but the couple that got out had to be well into their 80's. The women had a hard time getting out of the car,  but they were both dressed to the nines, and when they finally got out of the car, they somewhat elegantly strutted up to the clam shack to order, waited for it to come, then went back and ate it in their car.

    Fantastic sighting for the car itself, but the best part was to see the couple that owned it, their outfits and their general demeanor. I should be so lucky at that age.

    Parking for me.  We'll I've learned over time.  I waited until I saw the easton security person and hobbled over to his car using it for support asking about disabled parking.  He made it happen.

    This thread went so over my head, that the only thing I can remember was the tall brunette in the denim short-shorts.
    And all, still unobtainium.
