Those are notable eco-sandals, old and new at the same time, and spotted in the wild. Should be fine.

Saw a brand new Volt yesterday. Didn't realize it was redesigned? Then again I don't really follow the market.

Interesting last couple of days. Saw an Insight-I, and a Civic HX. I can't remember the last time I actually saw either of those. But then I also sighted a CRX HF. And I am almost positive I have never seen one of those before. Lastly, saw my first of the new Prii. It looks like it's one of those cars which photographs well, because it wasn't all that great in real life.

Here's a fun little car -- not really spotted in the "wild", but part of a private collection.
Not so bad for aerodynamics, but what it lacks in CD it makes up for in minimal frontal area.
Probably won't fare well in a collision with a pick-up truck or other monstrosities we see on the roads.

Another one from the private collection .....
The perfect spark for your kids to get them thinking about aerodynamics from a young age. Just let them know those fairings help them go faster!!
Sorry about the photo quality, lighting in there was not that good for taking photos. Enjoy.

That Messerschmitt Kabinenroller might not be the safest ride in an SUV-crowded land, but it does look cool.
