I think he saw the tail lights and meant Corolla.

I have a friend with an Esprit and it was always a running joke about how all the components are basically random GM parts. One time he was mentioning he had to replace the interior light and it was a PITA. I joked and asked what GM car it came from and he angrily replied with OPAL. Sourcing a random Opal light in the US isn't as easy as generic GM stuff.

A few more from today.
Work parking lot. Did google search. MachE4X is some performance package. Makes sense why the Brembo brakes are YUGE.
New? Or used scat pack 392. Looked still all stock sounds good tho.
Then I saw this coincidental parking if a 2013 ish Santa Fe like mine ( in the orange/copper color ) parked 2 cars away from the new 2024 HIDEOUS Santa Fe. Just as bad as the front of a new BMW. Someone needs to get fired. If I ever get to replacing mine it will likely be a Kia sorrento (sister car to mine) until they F up that design too.
Local pizza shop owner is a car guy. I am 99% sure this is his alpha Romeo. Picture came out blurry but it was real clean.

360 wheels look really good on that esprit. Best guess is '92 or 93. '94 S4 got a wing half way up the hatch. 95 S4s got a big wing on the back noso you can't see the cop behind you
I had an S4s, last of the 4 cylinder Esprits. It was a hooligan. I adjusted my path to work so I could get sideways through a parking lot near my office. My ambition exceeded my skill one time and I spun it in third gear with a customer in the passenger seat

Not sure if it is worse or better…Home Depot parking lot in Riverdale…somehow I doubt a disabled person would buy it and paint black, so there’s that.
I dont care what color you wrap that thing...I just cant unsee this every time I look at the fender flares
I stopped by the horseshoe lake car show yesterday with the mustang.....I always forget to take pics, but I did get a few
Jesse at bluesky painted this one....good guy...he's really been getting into mountain biking in the past year, so we might see him at an mtbnj ride in the future
beautiful C10 that reminded me a bit of @Mountain Bike Mike 's c20
Love the 50s Pontiac front ends....
my Aunt had this exact same 280 when I was a kid....used to love riding in it
My son can't really ride bikes at the moment, but at least we got ride in the mustang yesterday....i've spent many father's days in this car over the years.

im smirking and i wasnt even in the car! I was riding my bike in the area but decided if I stopped in I would have trouble leaving. That show is always a good one.
Ability to put attachments such as a roof bike rack or a tent setup. Can't do it with the soft top.

roof rack, especially when rollin w/ a soft top, only way to put a roof box, tent, etc. up there, it provides absolutely NO rollover protection (that's what the built-in roll bar hopefully handles)

they want it to LOOK like it has rollover protection tho.
