I guess a Cruze taxi won't be so easy to spot there in the U.S. as it is in Brazil...



IIRC that's the only Transit Connect in Porto Alegre, quite eco compared to other vehicles used by the local U.S. Consulate

There was a low KM 3 cyl Chevy Sprint at the auction a month ago. But it was an automatic. I didn't waste the space on my phone to take a pic haha.

What's that "supermini" car? Roofline somehow reminds me of a fiat 126 or 133.

I don't have pictures, but I've noticed 7 or 8 metros in my area that I never gave any notice before. Funny how you starting noticing a car once you have one?

Also spotted a bright yellow insight as the trail car behind a wind turbine blade the other day. The next two had big lifted pickups with monster tires: I bet that insight guy gets a lot of grief.

Wow - I haven't seen another Metro/Swift around my area for a few years at least. I have the last ones!

We don't use salt in North Dakota much, it's usually too cold for it to do any good.

This showed up at the auction, 1990 Civic hatch with 202k KMs. Automatic sadly, but it is in nice condition.


OK so I haven't posted a picture online anywhere since the last time I did here, and forgot you have to host the pic somewhere first haha. Well if I get the Civic I will post pic
