Post a photo of a classic vehicle

Been seeing lots of old American classic cars being driven around this holiday weekend. And I was thinking this might be an international behavior of humans in many countries to show off their old classics. Nostalgia may know no bounds, you know?

If you have a photo, please post a picture here of an old classic car or other vehicle in your area of the world. I'm hoping to see cool or interesting vehicles from the past from all over the world!

One doesn't see many Classic cars out on the roads here in Europe. Yeah, we have Classic Car Shows etc but very few are in common use.

Various carbon emissions regulations have put most (if not all of them) into moth balls. 🤷‍♂️

@room101 That's a good thing. Classic cars here come out of garages on summer Sunday mornings and summer holidays. No parting Americans from there cars.
Though I wish we had more trains. :/

Sometimes I hope they'll make hybrid or electric cars that look like some older sports cars. Because I feel like a lot of new cars are ugly AF. Some of the older cars look so pretty. Of course I drive a Subaru, which isn't a "cool" looking car anyway. Lol.

@Scribbles When I was in the UK recently, I had exactly the same thoughts. Modern cars are indeed ugly AF🤣

It's weird but I don't pay any attention to cars here in Barcelona. Probably because the idea of owning a car here makes no sense whatsoever.

Your idea of modern car manufacturers making cars, hybrid or otherwise, that are styled along the aesthetic of the Classics is a brilliant one.

@room101 I don't think it makes sense to have a car, where you live either. You got the metro and walking, etc. Uber if you need it, right? Do they have decent areas for cycling in Barcelona? Just curious.

I'm always a bit frustrated by the patchy network for cycling here. Some roads have a decent enough room for cyclists to share the road, or even rarer...an extra lane for them. But some places, it's downright dangerous still to share the road with cars. I can get away with cycling to work if I take some back roads or the beach if it's early in the morning. or farmer's market days, and a few other areas, but I'd probably die in traffic going to the shopping mall...or any busy area during rush hour. Lol. We've been wanting to get into cycling more with my cousin who lives in Utah. He sold his car when he moved there and cycles everywhere and is built and fit AF from it.

@Scribbles Barcelona is a cyclists paradise. Maybe even more so than Amsterdam. Cycle lanes pretty much on every road, government sponsored bikes for hire everywhere and motorists that respect cyclists.

I'm not much of a cyclist to be honest. Never felt particularly comfortable on two wheels. Don't know why, I've never had any accidents or mishaps.................well, there was that one time in Nicosia, Cyprus🤫🫣🤣🤣🤣
