Streets of San Francisco: 1962 Comet; Land Cruiser; Audi Q7

from Chip Lord in SF:
"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
