“Big Wheel” Austin, 2025

I was at the car dealership getting maintenance and inspection done on Mariko’s car and I had a few minutes to check out the new cars. Wow, the wheels on this beauty were impressive! And look at that brake disc. It’s massive! So different than my Subaru.

“Honda Civic” Austin, 2021

I dropped off our old Prius at the mechanic for an oil change and to fix a malfunctioning dashboard display. There are a couple of other car shops in the area and I spotted a couple of cool old Japanese cars: a Honda Civic and a Toyota Corolla.

The Civic was in decent condition, and looked so cute! I believe this model is a 2nd generation Civic from around 1980. It looks so fun to drive!

The Toyota Corolla was in worse shape, although it was getting new windshield put on it. I believe this is a 3rd generation model. I’m happy that it’s getting some work done on it. Hopefully it is on it’s way to a full restoration.
