The wife and I took a trip out to San Francisco a few weeks ago. I did some spotting during the vacation.

This old Mercedes was immaculate. I’ve always liked the look of these sedans. It’s forty years old and still looks like the pinnacle of refinement.

Maybe it’s not impossible to navigate the hills in a lowered car.

Parking options are limited on the steep hills.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a VW truck on the street before. This guy was excited, honking the horn as he passed by.

This is the only old Datsun Z car we saw on the trip. It was in the town square in Sonoma.

We also saw this beautiful Porsche 356, and another in red brown, parked in the same town square.

This seemed to be the only vehicle permanently residing on Alcatraz.

This is dorky, but we just don’t see vans like these in the Midwest. I’d drive one every day.

Like most of the West, you see a lot of old VW buses. We saw these hippie-mobiles up on Twin Peaks.

Here’s a Ford Bronco in Sausalito.

One of my favorite wheels, the Volk TE37.
