Random Street Spot: 2008 Hazen XP-HUMM-E

Here is an oddball EV built by Eugene, Oregon resident David Hazen, spotted in the wild on the streets of downtown Eugene. With a handmade wooden body, Kawasaki rear suspension, VW front suspension and a Saab 900 windshield, it is certainly an odd marriage of bits, and its open T-topped design is not too practical for Oregon's damp climate, but it is definitely remarkable. EVs are the future, and this is THE most unique EV I have ever seen.

Here is a video of the builder showing off his creation.

Street Spot: Citroen 2CV

Right at the tail end of 2012, I spotted this approximately 1975-80 Citroen 2CV (does not have the square headlamps of newer 2CVs) on a street near Eugene, Oregon. I have seen the car many times before, and photographed it in traffic in 2011, seen below, however only recently spotted it again in an area not known for interesting cars. 

This car is clearly loved and driven regularly, as the majority of 2CVs in the US are, and a 2CV in the US is a welcome sight.
