W-409 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Sometimes I see cool cars in traffic here in Finland also. Here are some that I've been lucky enough to capture on camera in 2021. '70s Toyota Corolla. Very clean. Very clean Dodge Ramcharger: UAZ Van: This was the coolest one during the whole winter. '49 Buick Super. The owner is nowadays over 80 years old, he bought that Buick as his daily driver in 1960 and still drives it every day. Buick still has original 1949 straight eight under the hood. Saw it on one Saturday morning in local grocery store parking lot... Ford 17M: '70s Chevy Van: In the winter I also saw a '65 Rambler Marlin a couple of times but didn't get a picture. Plus, bunch of other cool cars. Edited April 13, 2021 by W-409 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks Niko! It’s nice to see what’s on the road in different parts of the world, especially old American iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Where did I see this recently... A guy is following a work truck that has a huge pipe wrench on its back bumper... he follows the guy home to tell him. The guy says, “No worries! I welded it to the bumper. Nobody tailgates me now!

HomerS Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 One of the area Cars & Coffee took the year of due to the pandemic but today it truly came back with a roar as there wasn't enough time to get around to all of them! First sighting of a Hellcar engine in the Durango. This one is good for at least one 'never saw one in person' moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 A few random sightings from today’s run to the hardware store (mostly taken by my long-suffering wife because I was driving)... I know of at least 3 new Vettes near us - and spotted another today. They’re eye catching! A little more in my price range... Would also enjoy trying one of these on for size... Too nice to be hauling lumber at the hardware store: Followed this moron for 15 minutes whilst she took a FaceTime call until she accidentally blew thru a red light because of, you know, taking a FaceTime call whilst driving 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1955 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I saw a '67 Pontiac Gran Prix that looked to be in mint condition. Apparently the driver was in a hurry and was going way over the speed limit as he soared past me (despite the double yellow line). What made me look was the sound of a 4 bbl opening up as he flew past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The Saturn Sky was just about the same for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Rear angle of the Pontiac is better than the front, for me: My wife was like “hey look! A Miata!” Close enough 🤷♂️😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I thought the Saturn was the better looking of the two. Haven’t seen one of either in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s awesome - she sends me pics if she sees something I might like, brings me kits from the Hobby Store...lucky guy! Now if she’d just let me trade our 2010 Civic for something dangerous and impractical... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Sky clone, which is the better looking of the two designs. The Solstice looks like a cheese grater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
