Bay Area's Finest


This summer the wife and I will be moving to the West Coast. We recently took a trip out there to scope out the neighborhoods around the Bay Area and find a place where we'd like to live that we might stand some chance of affording. These are the cars of those 'hoods:

In white, representing Oakland; and in red, representing Sunset—A pair of Volk-loving Evo Xs


From the East Bay, representing Berkeley, this shockingly decrepit 914:

Berkeley itself is actually quite nice

From Inner Sunset, about as clean a 240 as you can find these days:


Everybody is always getting all hot and bothered about the El Caminos of the late 60s, but this absolutely gorgeous first gen that started life in 1959 deserves some respect:

Nighttime iPhone photo, my apologies
Pacific Heights, bringing the heat with this sick F430:



How about this supercharged first gen MR2 with carbon fiber everywhere and a set up solely for the destruction of mountain roads:




Having been the proud owner of a '97 Explorer XLT 5-speed that was passed down to me from my parents who had bought it new, I'm especially partial to this rare, souped up, soccer mom-mobile: The Saleen XP8 Explorer:



Supercharged Chevelles are cool too.



One of many, many Miatas on the West Coast that are completely stock with the exception of a roll bar:


I'm not at all a bike guy, but for whatever reason, I love this Triumph:


The wife loves these V-dubs, so we got a shot of her next to this slick MKVI GTI:


Stayed tuned for more, we move in less than 3 months!
