Summertime in Seattle is the only time the cool cars get to be seen around here. I'm sorry to report that the summer of 2017 is becoming a real disappointment for me. The pickin's have been really slim this year.

At least I can post a PT Cruiser Convertible. Here's a vehicle I didn't care for when it was in production - now they all look pretty cool to me:

Next up, the Buick Reatta - only I saw the 1990 version with the 5-spoke wheels.

Yeah I've seen next to no cool cars this summer. I don't think a Tesla counts. There were some nice old cars at a car show here locally, but I've seen few on the road just cruising

I've seen tons of Vette's out, they practically scream "I TAKE VIAGRA"

Just as an illustration on how dull the roads of Seattle have become, here's a car I haven't seen since 2013:

The Plymouth Prowler:

@vkimo: Better than screaming "Dang I'm old" like a Buick (insert model here)

Ironically, I actually saw a pretty cool car today when I was at the grocery store and failed to get a picture of it because I left my phone at home. Somebody had a near-pristine 67 Ford Shelby GT500 sitting in the parking lot. It's a shame I didn't have my phone on me, because I am that guy who would take photos with it and then pretend on social media that I own it.

The GT500 - that brings back many fond memories.

Gone are the days when I could walk out of any corner grocery store and see a Mustang Shelby GT500 in the parking lot. Mustangs were popular with the guys at the Navy Base where I grew up, so to get noticed the special edition Mustangs sold very well especially convertible models.

Like the time I came out of a 7-11 and a 1969 GT500 was front and center. Back in the day the Selby's were used as daily drivers!
