Maybe some salt on the road but warm enough to ride, and im not the only one. Salt just means the Miata has to stay indoors longer. But I had a nice short ride to stretch the legs again.

Alright, so a couple actual vehicles that seemed interesting at the Chicago Auto Show. As much fun as it is to make fun of Stellantis quality they are at least interesting to look at. See alt texts.

[ #cars #chicagoautoshow #prelude #alfaromeo #fiat #jeep #cas2026 #Chicago ]
Honda Prelude. No, the power train is not exciting. But this maybe had the best interior and comfiest seats that I tried out. Build quality seemed strong. Hatchback is actually huge and the rear seats fold totally flat. You can fit a lot of stuff in this, so if you just wanna drive a no nonsense cpupe and still ha e room for your stuff, this is it. It is a pretty car overall. Based on some short conversations I had, some old Prelude fans didn't seem to hate it after witnessing it in person. Alfa Romeo Tonale. New facelift, and this new Speciale model that has the cool three hole wheels (a throwback to a much older wheel design and also I'm guessing to make it similar to the Junior) and a really neat interior color scheme, and some new seats that seem better than the old ones. Tonale also seems to be stanced lower than before and actually seems like a small hatchback now, less a CUV. I think oems are just afraid to use the word hatchback now or something. Can't wait until it depreciates into my price bracket! Fiat 500e. New colors for 2026. Really fun. I still love sitting in this car. Just wish it had more range for the price. Also the white interior is cool, but you could tell it was dirty from everyone getting in and out. An unfortunate reality of some light colored interiors. Overall I still think these are cool, just impractical for me. They also had a classic 500 on display, which is just sooo tiny. Smaller than these of course, though about the same size as that upcoming Topolino. Jeep Recon. Lobe the wheels. This is the MOAB version. The Recon is like if you take a Cherokee and give it removable windows and doors to cross it over to a Wrangler. Also ahas a huge moon roof, although it is a fixed roof. I don't think you can replace the Wrangler's true convertible nature, but this seems like a pretty decent middle ground and I'm all for more weird and quirky vehicle types. So keep on the weirdness.

Another Chicago Auto Show in the books, and the most intriguing thing was probably this six-wheeled custom Suzuki Samurai. And it hauls a camper trailer. Awesome 👌

Chicago Auto Show has been this week, I like going to see what's new. So I'm going today to see what's new. At the Chicago Auto Show. In Chicago. To see what's new at the Chicago Auto Show.

In Chicago.

The Ghia 1500 GT, essentially a rebodied Fiat 1500 done up by, of course, the coachbuilder Ghia. Ghia would later go on to the VW Karmann and their magnum opus, the Mustang II Ghia.

I like the variety at Cars & Coffee, as I feel you often get the best variety of things. Classic little roadster, muscle car, big GT, super car, rarities (see the Gullwing in the back). And I like variety.

I never hated the SC430 as much as Top Gear did. But then again, I never drove one.

Honda VTEC K-engine swap for a Fiat X1/9? Holy lord do I wanna drive this thing. This thing just screams being a blast, and probably dangerous as all get up lol. Big want.

The wonkiest of Fiats after the Multipla. The 500L, which actually lasted on the US market far longer than I ever remember. Until 2019.

I guess I'm sharing my cars again, so here's my 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT, a photo from a set I took for my sale listing. Fun to drive, but I wasn't smart enough to save it. I think I've talked about this car before.

[ #cars #classiccars #fiero #pontiac #photo #photography #carsky #pegasus ]
1985 Pontiac Fiero GT. Sold this years ago to a couple who worked on old '80s stuff all the time and they believed they could save it. Not sure if they ever did. Hopefully, but who knows. Never heard from them again.

A photo of my '79 Alfa Romeo Spider the day I bought it. One of these days I'll get it road worthy again. Maybe. I dunno.

[ #alfaromeo #spider #cars #carsky #classiccars #photo #photography #projectcar ]
1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 2000. The most I drove this car was the day I bought it with a 4 hour drive from Minnesota. It had an oil issue on the way home and blew a water pump shortly after that was fixed and then after the water pump was replaced the catalytic converter decided to glow. It's an Alfa thing.

Ye old Rolls Royce at the fancy lake club, where it belongs.

[ #rollsroyce #cars #classiccars #carsky #carsandcoffee #photo #photography #carspotting ]
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud at The Commodore Cars & Coffee. This car actually belongs to one of the owners of this expensive, heavily renovated place. They apparently don't drive it too much because there's apparently only one guy in all of WI who works on these and he's semi-retired. Niche classics like this are cool, but even if you can afford to fix them when they go bad, the trouble is finding someone who actually can.

Given the price of Supras when they dropped I'm surprised so many still had money left over to kit or re-shoe them in any way. Though I haven't really kept up with prices.
