Colorful Cars

Let's all say "YAY" for colorful cars! So many choose black or white or silver these days, its good to see some variety in a parking lot. I'm personally a fan of two-tone paint jobs, like my 2018 Jeep Compass that had green paint with a black roof or the new Chevy Blazer (above) that's yellow with a black roof - this is actually a color for 2022! I had to look it up just to make sure it wasn't a custom job.

Today's question is simple: What color is your car and what's your favorite color in general? Do you like colorful cars?

I think Dodge, Jeep and Kia have some of the most interesting color options in their cars on the market right now among mainstream brands.

Unicorn Cars - Part 2

On this edition of "unicorn rides", we have a... Cool, but unidentified classic vehicle, as it had no badges on it lol. But yet, this is another example of a unique engineering era gone by. It's always interesting to note how designs change and inspire new concepts.

Update: This is a 1950s Hudson Hornet! Thanks to Demitri Santos Mendez on Facebook for identifying this gem!

Unicorn Cars

Let's take a look at a few "unicorn cars" I saw while out and about recently. While a couple stand out from the crowd, sometimes some cars are what I call "incognito unicorns" and are actually far more uncommon than they appear, such as the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid.

Believe it or not, here we have one of the most uncommon, modern-day car unicorns out there: The 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. While likely not a collectible, spotting one (or an equally rare Durango Hybrid) is quite... Well, rare...

The Aspen/Durango hybrids used a 2 mode hybrid system that was jointly developed by GM, Chrysler, Daimler and BMW paired to a HEMI V8 and electric motors for a combined 385 HP. MPGs were rated at 19 city/20 highway - a marked improvement, believe it or not, over regular HEMI Aspens and Durangos (13/18).

About 400 (of both models) total rolled off the assembly line before the factory where the SUVs were produced was shut down.

This here... I'm not quite sure what the owner was going for... But it looks like this is an old school Beetle modded for off road use. Your impressions? Anyone up for some high-speed dune jumps?

To tell you the truth, I'm at a loss here haha. Not sure what this is, plus, it being nighttime didn't help... Any ideas? Gotta love those restored classic and historic cars however!

Have you seen any unicorn cars lately? Comment if so. ROLL ON!
