There are a few thousand of them in the US, and given that Metro Detroit was the North American Headquarters for FIAT Chrysler (AKA FCA, now part of Stellantis) I'd say here are probably more here than elsewhere. Mine does have an odd mix of options, so seeing an identical car would be an occasion.

I’m staying with jealous and I’m not what you’d call a car guy, although I’d love to have a few of the cars back I had when I was younger.

What are the odds you’d see the same car just by chance. You might wanna go to the Casino....na me neither, I hate the noise, crowds and smoke. Paul

Don't be jealous. It's a more modest car than you probably imagine.

James Dean was driving a Porsche Spyder when he crashed and was killed. By coincidence, I happened to see a homebuilt kit replica when buying gas on Sunday.

Of course we’re all jealous! Isn’t that a later version of the kind of car James Dean was driving when he got killed? Paul

A musical inspiration.

Thanks, Nick. Sounds and drives as good as it looks. I'm always looking for an excuse to drive somewhere. I understand they have an enthusiastic following in the UK.

I chuckle when people ask if it's a Ferrari or say it must be very expensive. Neither is true! Plenty of DP Review forum participants have more invested in their photographic kits.

Thanks. It's a lot of fun. This was yesterday when I was running out to purchase some fresh ingredients for gallo pinto. I stopped at the end of the driveway (that's our neighbor's house in the background) to get the mail and noticed how it was popping in the light. While I have taken many pictures of it, none would be eligible for this challenge. So, have cellphone/will photograph.

Maybe by The Who, but I really like this car! However shown....Traveller
