Streets of San Francisco: 1962 Comet; Land Cruiser; Audi Q7
"These shots represent state of the art Auto San Francisco. The 1962 (I think) Mercury Comet, with a spray can paint job, represents the funky older ride, still popular will SF hipsters, but disappearing as rents go up all over town. The Toyota Land Cruiser - I call this a car-within-a-car, could be representative of the Burner crowd - new, big, money and the perfect vehicle for the playa. Finally, the "Fat Butt" Q7 - what do they sell for, about 60K$ ? More new tech money and bad taste all around. What were the Audi designers thinking? Maybe the marketing folks designed it to fill a niche in the SUV market. This one is fresh off the showroom floor. All three were spotted on my four block walk home from Martha Brothers yesterday."--CL
