Introduction

Ever since my grandfather bought me a subscription to Automobile magazine at the tender age of five, I've been in love with cars. To me they've always been a beautiful hybrid of form and function, rolling works of art that form the backbone of modern transportation. Few cities that I've seen have such a rich collection of cars as San Francisco. From restored vintage American and European steel to the most modern exotic supercars, San Francisco is home to a diverse pastiche of automotive history. Why this is is a mystery to me, although it seems logical that a city chock full of rich people with a general appreciation for aesthetics and design would have more interest in older vehicles. When you're pulling a few million a year I suppose you can afford things like repairing the hydraulics system on your Citroen DS.

Anyway the purpose of this blog is to document the cars parked on or rolling down the streets of San Francisco, hopefully with daily updates. I walk by so many great looking cars everyday that I figure it's only fair that I share them with anyone else who's interested. Basically there's no criteria for what gets posted here other than that I think it looks interesting or has something notable about it. I'll do my best to give an accurate description of year, make, model etc. but feel free to correct me if i fail to notice the headlight bezel on that Alfa Romeo that's unique only to the 1986 model. Anyway thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
