Since when is a Korean e car "desirable" or "exotic?" I'm with you-DEFINITELY not like the others.

In the no-parking spot, 10/10 realism there.

the picture with the store front and the vegetation above looks really good.

I will always love this design. Not usually fan of brown, but somehow it pulls it off.

My first car was a Audi 100LS, which broke often. Used to carry tools and some spare Bosch ignition and fuel injection parts in the trunk. Four decades ago, here I am at the beach with some friends wondering if the Audi will make the drive home trouble-free.

Friend of a friend has 4 XJS's today, he's a electrical engineer at NASA and wanted a hobby exotic and found those Jag's are really cheap today and fun to drive and not too bad to work on. Two of the XJS's are donor cars and the other two are runners.

Gas station around the corner from my office [with probably the highest priced gas in Houston. Last gas station before the IAH rental car return]
Always has a handful of older cars parked outside.

Since PhilB81 outed me on posting pix of my own collection, I figured I will share one more.

They say money can’t buy happiness…. They are wrong.

We closed on our new condo last Friday and I noticed this 1967 Buick Riviera parked about 10 places down from me; it is pretty clear by the dust and grime all over the car it hasn't been driven in a year or two, at the very least. It is a little rough with a ding or three and a bit of rust in a couple places, but all in all, quite a nice example. There are a lot of older folks in this complex of several hundred units; I'm wondering if I can buy the car and restore it to its former splendor.

‘that’s what’s throwing me off too, the taillights look caddy-esque but the roof line looks like a Chrysler …

Long time ago we had a 'guess that car' thread. Folks would post an obscure partial & it would get some fun guesses.
