Spotted August 2 Wandered over from fast food land to a nearby lodging establishment. I am okay with color and it looks good on the car, but it's not safe enough for me to choose it for what could be a long ownership period.

Not sure about 'safe', but F8 green and Octane Red are my favorite current Mopar colors..I'd definitely go for that green. Perhaps like the song, she's 'a Barbie girl in the Barbie world'... it's cool when people are fearless and be themselves in public..

Not what you expect to see next to you at the pump The owner told me that, like its badging, it had a Chevy 350 V8 and was a 1970. When asked how many barrels it had, he seemed perplexed and I told him that meant the number of "holes" feeding the carburetor. That's fine. For some drivers, turning the key and knowing where to put in the fuel works just fine. Except for the after-market wheels, this vehicle, which reminds me of a previously prolific forum member, was in near perfect condition.

Seen August 9 Not what you expect to see at Burger King ... or maybe Burger King coupons are where this person cuts corners to be able to have this car. I'm being a jerk. I approached it from this direction, parked a few spots away from my car. The owner told me it had a 6.2 L V8 - using my R.O.T. of 60 c.i. per liter, there might have been a Chevy V8 that displaced ~378 cubic inches or thereabouts. Whether on a luxury car or a sports car, one of my favorite color combinations,* and a timeless one at that. * though I think (a darker) burgundy trumps something closer to an actual red

I've seen 4 or 5 of these things out and about. They're cool looking vehicles in person.

They rove around the Municipality I work for, but I haven't seen them in my own neighborhood. Amazon built a massive charging station and distribution center on the site of one of the first enclosed malls in the U.S. which is about 5 miles up the Lincoln Highway from me.

Now that all Arteons are R-Lines, the price went up. That's the bad. The good is that all R-Lines come with the significantly more powerful 300 hp 2.0T that makes the Arteon really move nicely. But at $52,849, that Arteon is $951 less expensive than the TwinTurbo-V6-powered Audi S4.

Got my first Amazon delivery from the Rivian van. Love how quiet they are. But wow, very big.
