narrow, twisty, windy roads. At some points, the white line at the shoulder denotes the drop-off cliff. Since these cars are too wide and vision – impeded to calculate where your wheels are, the guy had no side reference. He was driving like a frightened little mouse.

dozens and dozens of sports cars – everything from oil shiek exotic to vintage Saabs and MG‘s and Corvettes. Group after group after group of these neat cars all negotiating the roads, one after the other.

A friend in college had one. I swapped the radio out for him. It had a nice one, not the raw neighborhood shaking amperage he wanted, though. I think they put them in once they got to the States. I kept it and put it in my Cutlass.

butt-ugly monstrosities in Lincoln, NE.

They draw enough attention, that other drivers are finding it a hazard to decent driving, due to the looks (glares) they get.

Pretty spooky, since you can't see a driver, and with Tesla's weird habit of going out-of-control in driverless mode, people are generally
distressed when one of these are close, (read: within sight).
