Default Today’s photos, huge windstorm in Monterey Peninsula

Crazy weather lately, several inches of rain a couple weeks ago during the AT&T Pro-Am hundreds of trees down, this weekend pretty much the same, but today just a lot of wind so got a chance to exercise the Coupe, shots at Spanish Bay Beach, and near Spyglass Hill

I'd loose the luggage rack and the wide whites and keep the skirts.

Not sure what I enjoy more, the coastline or the car. Either way Digger both are awesome!

Thanks for the pics.

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder....I believe accessories can either detract from or enhance the aesthetics of an automobile. What some find tasty, others find horrendous. This example clearly illustrates both extremes!

Glad you are getting to enjoy your car, mine is up on blocks waiting for the snow and single digit temperatures to go away.

Nice looking coupe I would be proud of it too. I hope you cleaned off all the sea spray from that shiny paint job, really nice car!!!

Yes right away wipe off the ocean spray, and sand on the running boards! This is a decades old lacquer paint job that I resurrected back when I bought the car.

And related to that, I have recently been using the “ceramic” detail spray, both by McGuiars and Mothers, comes in the lime green spray bottle. Works and looks great.
