Here’s a bummer of a leftover from our NorCal photo reel. This billboard for California’s Bureau of Automotive Repairs, DriveHealthy.com, was spotted in San Jose and features a clapped out Datto Sunny as an example of a polluter. It turns out that The Man will give low income drivers up to $500 towards a repair if their car fails a smog check or, scarily, $1000 toward “retiring” (read: scrapping) the offending vehicle. Poor little Datto.

UPDATE: More discussion in our forums here.

One of our favorite posts over at Jalopnik is Murilee’s Down on the Street series, in which he photographs random interesting cars just sitting curbside in the city of Alameda, CA. There’s already been over 250 such sightings, not all of them well preserved, but all of them worthy of retrospect. Today’s just happens to be a very clean Datsun 1200, and 1200 owners should be beaming with pride when reading the outpouring of love in the post’s comments.
