What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

A bright yellow Lancer Evo at the gas station, also filling up on E85, kid driving said the car was putting 450hp at the wheels on the stuff. Then within a few blocks of the hospital Mom is in, I saw a dark blue pre-war Plymouth 5 window coupe and a mid 60's Stingray roadster!

I saw this driving to the exotic Car Show in Hershey, Pa yesterday. The owner is a New York City Divorce Lawyer. The license plate was interesting. The light green is the original color the rest is a wrap and trim tape. It looked like chrome missile coming down the road.

Sitting at a stoplight at an I35 overpass in Schertz, TX, this morning, some sort of Ferrari made a left in front of me (don't know my Ferraris like I should, so I don't know what model--wouldn't even have been sure it was a Ferrari except for the yellow emblem on the fender and the sound as it took off). Still waiting at the light and a late '70s Pontiac Firebird Trans Am went by going the other way. Beautiful deep orange metallic with a gold firebird on the hood, snowflake wheels--very sharp.

Agreed. And the kids who broke out the windows should be beat with a stick!

There's a place we go on the coast to get seaweed for garden fertilizer. On the way there, there's what I think is a late fifties Rambler by the side of the road. Been there for at least twenty plus years, and someone shot the windshield out years ago. :angry:

Yesterday, on my detour off and then back onto the freeway, there was a Reliable Transport rig unloading a car. That one, a Corvette, wasn't the one that caught my eye. It was the one on the lower tier at the side entrance door...a black '66 or '67 GTO. This morning, I saw a '66 or '67 Polara or maybe a Newport. Not exactly sure. On my way home from work tonight there was a Silver '77 or '78 Trans Am on the side of the road.

On a side note. Something you don't see everyday around here. From the road :D, I saw a FA-18 Hornet coming in for a landing at Mitchell Airport. There is a National Guard Air-refueling unit based there, but no fighters are. Just a little unusual. Even with the driver-side window cracked and music blaring, man that plane was LOUD!

Last night after a local Cruising Night I was just Cruising around with my '60 Impala and then I saw this Chevy Caprice parked in side of the road. It was in pretty good condition and basically the only thing I didn't quite like was the fact that it had those barber shop ads on both sides.

First really decent weekend around here and poof....cars are coming out! Went to Culver's, a burger chain mostly here in Wisconsin, and there was a late 80's/early 90's(?) Mustang GT convertible and a black on black 1970 GTO :wub: that stopped me in my tracks...twice. On the way home from Culver's there was a '39(?) Chevy sedan(humpback) hot rod/street rod(however you want to look at it). And finally, right before I turned onto my street at the stoplight, an '85 or '86 Buick Grand National. All within a mile or so of home and I didn't bring MY PHONE! :angry:
