Karma is a bit...

...ching looking car! One of the neighbors had a Fiskar Karma parked in their driveway yesterday. Wish I had time, I would have gone over to check it out. Wish I had taken better pics. Pretty slick looking for a 4 door sedan.

Nice looking. I think I'll wait for Rev B.

Fortunately, I'll never have to worry about that.

I've seen pics of one before, but it just looks more "exotic" in person. Even parked next to the SL it commands attention.

Never say never, especially when you live in the Most Productive City In The World!!!

Nice shots for a drive by... too bad you can see the rest of your minivan in the mirror...

Love your neighborhood, is that the cove or the river in the background?

Next to The Most Productive City in the World (that's still a ).

My wife's minivan.

The Cove. AKA The Metropolitan District Commission's Combined Storm Water Discharge Site (1-2 times a year). A private citizen would have been thrown in jail by now. Unfortunately Wethersfield, along with Hartford, were cut off from the river when they built I-91 along it's banks.

We all know you guys are carrying Hartford...

Funny...that's exactly how I refer to our minivan...

Figured as much. Especially since I looked at the satellite image and realized that there are no nice houses over on Burbank....

I should photograph, or perhaps videotape using my inner Clarkson some of the thundering **** chariots stabled for sale nearby. Let's just say my local area is a bit... Unique.

Lookie what I saw the other day? We went to a restaurant called Byblos (great Lebanese food) and she was sitting out there in all her glory. Dam that is a nice car up close. I even like it in white which usually does not do anything for me on a sports car.

I've seen a couple of them around here. The charcoal silver paint is absolutely stunning, and the design of the car is incredible in itself. Performance be damned, I would still want one just for how amazing it looks.

Reminds me a lot of this car (from 2001)

Now I know what I saw a few days ago. It was in oncoming traffic, I thought maybe a new BMW model. Apparently not.
