To avoid the “chicken tax” import tariff on trucks, Subaru installed plastic jump seats in the bed so the BRAT could be considered a passenger car and get the much smaller tariff on cars.
I love these things. Back in my late teens a buddy had one and we had some

Street Parked Topless Tuesday Edition: I saw this Mercedes Benz SLK 230 back in October and was charmed by the color. These are cool little sports cars. This one is from the late ‘90s, before the style refresh of 2000.

We had a fun day at Pike Place Market today exploring the new hill climb park. It reminds me of the Highline in NYC with little spots to sit and savor the view.
Such a lovely day today, it felt like Spring.

A few snaps from sunset walks the past couple of days.
The city is restoring more of Thornton Creek right down the street from my house. It will be super cool to watch that evolve and grow.
The Meadowbrook pond is bird filled and entertaining as ever. Lots of fun duck shenanigans.

I’ve been able to convince him a lap is more comfortable than cold sun.

Jimmy is in the “I see sun, why is it cold?” part of Winter. The struggle is real. Being a teenage dog with the associated memory makes it a bit frustrating. I love him, so I let him in and out as he wishes.
Enzo seems a little confused by this behavior and usually stays inside, where it’s warm.

Street Parked: This Buick Roadmaster wagon is the last of its breed. This is the last full size American station wagon made. These came with a v8, of course. The beauty of these cars is that by the mid 90s, when these cars were made, the GM v8 was a very good engine.
