Datsun Fairlady with Appropriate Porthole Top





Portland keeps showing me her best cars, even though there has been lots of rain recently.

For instance this Datsun Fairlady parked on the street sporting a 'porthole' hardtop. Boats being the original porthole sporting means of transportation, in rainy Portland a car with porthole top struck me as funny. Or ironic. Or neither.

X-Wing Fighter Painted Jeep Portland Car Spotting




This remarkable piece was spotted in the exact same spot as the Baur BMW I snapped a pic of a few days prior. I hope it belongs to the same guy. And I do mean guy, there is no way a woman would own a Baur and this Jeep.

Check out the details of this X-Wing fighter rolling replica. Nice detail on the paneling. The Rebel Alliance symbol is well rendered on the hood. And it looks like it got into a bit of a scrape on the left rear quarter...maybe a run in with a TIE fighter of the Empire?
