Kind of a weak update - I'll have some more interesting stuff to share again soon.
You can't see it well, but the billboard has Kevin Spacey doing an ad for a local bank. They are all over the city and commercials on TV. I guess they like him here. The car license plates will tell you what region of the country and what city people are from. Adds an interesting dynamic to traffic - people will choose how they treat others depending on where they are from in the country.
Lots of interesting cars to see here. The Audi isn't all that special but seeing some unique German stuff can be more common than in the states from my experience.
We have a small Ferrari dealership in town. I swing by once in a while but they don't usually carry much inventory. Cars sit outside a lot. Saw these outside recently.

A restaurant in Nowa Dęba near a supplier I have spent some time at. The place is really good, I'm going to need to buy some new clothes if I continue to eat here.
Ha! Karczma is my Ukrainian last name in Polish. It basically means Inn, Innkeeper, or place beer is served.

A camper. There isn't a 'trailer camper' culture here so you won't see trucks towing big campers or motorhomes. I was really surprised to see this actually.
VW pickup. I see a few of these around. Very rarely you'll see an F150 or a Dodge Ram. Full size trucks as we know them don't really exist here though. I also saw a new Toyota Tundra once.
Went to a Zoo in Opole, it's about 100km from here. Saw a small hippo.
They had a big collection of large owls.
Saw this by my apartment a couple weeks ago, haven't seen it since.
Skoda Roomster in traffic jam.
A rare sight here.
Saw this in Krakow yesterday. Not sure on the deal with the license plate but I laughed. Interestingly enough, Chicago has the greatest population of Polish people in any city outside of Warsaw.
US Consulate in Krakow. If shit ever hit the fan in Poland I guess we'd go to either the airport or here.

More.
The local home center, like a Home Depot or something. This is in the lawnmower section. These are the electric options.
This is just ripe for an LS swap.
A dog near where I work. I see it outside sometimes and now call him Bruno.
Airport in Krakow in the morning. It's getting renovated and doubled in size. Should be done next year.
Saw this in the neighborhood.
There is a track in Poznan not too far from here.

I'll have a some more interesting ones I'll put up this weekend. I need to adjust my photobucket settings because when I attach lots of them in full size it seems to crash my browser.
I think I screwed up my Random Russia thread this way and need to go back and fix it.

Cool pictures, thanks for posting. I recently moved to Romania for work, and your pictures remind me of here. Poland does appear to be a bit more prosperous than Romana, but similar in many ways. The driving here is very crazy, but I've just about gotten used to it after 8 months. Some of the cars are pretty funny too. I have only seen one S197 Mustang since I've been here, as well as a 90s Camaro and a Viper. A footballer I believe has a Ferrari, but that's about it as far as cars go!

Time for another round of photos. Not much changing here except for the seasons. Very mild winter overall.
Neighbor's car. A lot of Audi people in the US wish they could buy one of these. RS6 wagon.
We went to the Christmas market in Wrocław.
Windshield washer fluid comes in various scents such as 'Sensual' and True Men'...
On the drive home from work I saw a guy dragging a bath tub across the street.
Coal mining is a huge deal here and I had a chance to visit an underground mine about an hour from here in Zaberze that offers tours. This type of mine is very typical, with underground tunnels and a shaft that is used to pull the coal, equipment and people up and down.
The elevator. This mine goes down about 320 meters.
One of the machines they use to gouge the coal out of the seams. The coal falls down on a conveyor and you can also see the mining roof supports on the opposite side.
Underground type of train system for transporting miners. The tunnels go on for many kilometers.
I have a neighbor with an Aventador. The car is simply amazing and is hard to top when it comes to street presence.

Time for a few more random photos.
It's a lot warmer here now so a few interesting cars and things are popping up. I've seen a nice looking Supra not far from my place for a couple weeks now and will have to get one of that to share.
Some motorcycles I saw near the car wash.
Bad photos of some drift cars I caught on a trailer on the highway.
This is a Polski Fiat 126p. Production from 1973-2000 was 3.3M units. Rear engine so it's obviously a performance car. This one is a pretty decent example. It's got a lot of historical significance in Poland but to keep it simple, it was the first basic car for normal people. This was when there was a waiting list for a couple years for a family to get a car.
