Pandemic car spotting

There are no events during the pandemic, but people are driving their rare and interesting cars a lot. I don't have a ton of photos because I am often driving when I see them.

I have set up a home office in the basement with an old computer I had (added an SSD for speed), a screen I found in the garbage and a used TV I bought. Surprisingly, the wi-fi signal reaches two levels down without issue.

Since the travel restrictions have been lifted, I was able to go to the country house to get the BMW out of the barn. It started right up and made it home without problems, but there are a few little leaks I have to address. I will take it to a real mechanic for this in the next few days, which means I have to keep using the Saab for a bit.

There has been no progress on fixing the Civic's transmission problem (popping out of 5th gear) but since I am not missing any events, I have not put any pressure on Pat to finish the job. I can't wait to attend a track event!
