Car-spotting thread

Leaf blowers are one of the low points of human existence. Destroyer of many an otherwise peaceful day, seemingly year-round now. Also, I came around a turn up in the Vernon area on Saturday and a guy had blown leaves fully waist deep into the middle of the road, where he was standing blowing them across the street from his house.
 
I never roll up the windows, if someone wants to steal, Id rather they not do any metal damage or break my side windows. Not like the locks on this car are stopping any car thief anyway 🙂
Glad also no hood locks, do engines still need them?
 
Last month I posted about my visit to a small museum in MD....

...now one of the cars there is up for auction on BaT
 
Personal pet peeve of mine. These stupid ugly license plate mounts that go into the tow hook receiver. ESPECIALLY on cars like this that have the holes in the existing bumper, on a white car no less.

I understand how you don't want to put holes in your bumper, or how some cars the license plate goes in a spot killing the design of the car, especially sports cars. But jesus, look at this. Holes are in the bumper, license plate sticking out an inch from the pumper offset.

I want to look away like when a deranged panhandler with an abscess on their cheek asks me for money.

Never looks good, especially when there's holes already in the bumper. If anything this BMW has a huge spot on the bumper where the license plate breaks up all the flat white.

^totally agree. I think that car however may have been in a front end collision, albeit low speed. The paint near the BMW roundel looks cracked. I wonder if it rendered the bumper holes unusable?
