Show me a nice new car

Sleek! And I'm struck by how clean the cars are, and for that matter everything else too.
 
This 1953 Cadillac "66 Special" was brand spanking new when my mother photographed her in front of RCA/NBC studios in NYC in the summer of 1953. It took a little work to restore this old box Brownie snapshot, but I just love the gleam on the Caddy's hood.

An acquaintance up the street has that same model Mazda in the same color, and I'm reminded by your fine pic that he owes me a ride! :)
Indeed, in Post 93 of this thread I show two photos of the neighbor's car, one with the top partly retracted.
Enjoy your new sports car...

Thanks. Looking at the photos you posted I believe his is a Club model (due to the body color roof). Mine is the GT, which really just means a few minor differences in equipment. If his is 2019 or later it will have about 30 more HP and a higher redline than the earlier cars. Quite entertaining to drive - you should go get that ride he owes you, and make sure he winds the engine out to the redline where it belongs. ;)

Car driven by a pretty lady (not the guy standing nearby) who owns a Thai restaurant.
One day I was heading out of town to the distant Porsche dealer for a recall service, and pulled into the left turn lane at a red traffic light next to her (in my Porsche Cayman S), taking a shortcut to the freeway onramp. We waved and smiled and the light changed so off I went. She evidently took a left at the next light, also heading for the freeway, as about 4 miles later I saw a yellow flash well behind in my rearview mirror, moving fast! She passed and slowed, and I kept her in view the next 50 miles until she turned off at a ski area, and I didn't see her again. Well, that was kinda interesting! But much later I happened to see this familiar car parked near the restaurant, left a card on it, and made the photo.
