I see you have Tier bikes as well. Our Tier operator removed the helmet boxes for this summer because I guess nobody used them anyway.

Yep, we have them, along with a few other similar services as well. These things started showing up in 2019, and has annoyed the crap out of people, so they have severely limited the amount of them that are allowed in the city. They have also banned riding them after drinking alcohol.

Funny to think someday we'll look back on these and they'll be good looking in comparison to whatever the modern BMW will look like.

I will probably learn to like this just like I learned to like the E60 5 series.

But it won’t happen tomorrow.

I hate to say it but it's growing on me, as with many cars I think it looks better with a front number plate to break up the ugly a bit. I've never liked the look of the Tesla Model 3 without a front European plate, with one it was good enough for me to own one for a year.

A couple cars I see on my normal morning walk route:

I think early 40s Chrysler New Yorker(?)

Early 60s Chevrolet Impala

 

[CraigB]

I believe the Impala is the infamous Six-Four (1964). Looks pretty sweet on the 14" (guessing) wire wheels.

I think you're right. Can you elaborate on the "infamy"? I have virtually zero knowledge of classic cars.

Just real popular back in the day with rappers. Lot's of references to Six-Four and the like in songs.

Ahh, OK. At first I thought maybe it was explosions or something. Ha!

I just googled it, and found this really interesting article about how those rap references came to be:

Six Four: An End to Automotive Apartheid

Karl Muth takes readers on a journey down memory lane to show how a particular Chevrolet become a symbol of minority empowerment.

I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye, but the Foxbody looks like it just showed up because the gate was open.

I'll agree, it's pretty stock looking. Underneath it's pretty mild, for a drag car, but still a quick car.
