Tom Geiger Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I saw an odd one... Yesterday in the rain, right as it was getting light out in the morning I spotted something black and not well lit up in the slow lane on the turnpike. It was a 60s Saab 96 with big white lettering on the sides declaring that it was an all electric vehicle.
Rob Hall Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Saw a new BMW i3 today in traffic, first I'd seen...silver blue and black two-tone. Tall and narrow w/ skinny tires..looks very futuristic yet violently ugly at the same time..reminds me of a shrunken Honda Element.
Casey Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 '91-ish Chevy Cavalier Z-24 convertible, early '90s Mustang LX convertible, '68 Plymouth Fury (daily driver), and a GMC Safari GT:
RancheroSteve Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 A Ferrari 360 parked on the street about a block from my house. Hey, I live in Los Angeles, but it's not exactly Beverly Hills around here!
Rodent Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 White with blue stripes Ford GT. In heavy traffic. In the rain.
Rob Hall Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 White 73 Pontiac Grand Am...very clean shape...
Tom Geiger Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 this week's spottings... Hey! That's my car! Yea, the transmission place kept the Caravan FIVE weeks... I had to send my wife to pick it up since they are only open 8-5 weekdays and I have been working in New Jersey lately. After she pays, the guy says, "By the way... we think your fuel pump is bad. We had to bang on the gas tank to get it started." So she drives it home and parks it dead center in the driveway. Of course it wouldn't start and no amount of banging helped. So off it went to my regular shop! AAA must really love me. Spotted this one on a local used car lot. Looks an awful lot like my Geo Tracker! Except it's a newer vehicle and that black front treatment is downright ugly. I was intrigued enough to call for more details... yea, $8999. I'm sure it will be there a long while. I posted this one on the Girls Car thread too. That's the final word on girls cars! Soooo ugly. And it's not like the place could rent it out for other purposes when they're not using it. Yea, I want to take that to a funeral! And this one was in the same lot as the pink Chrysler 300 limo! Parked outside the local pizza shop "Peace A Pizza". Actually a decent pizza place. Yea, that's grass on the roof. This one got me thinking if I was up to creating it in scale... hmmm.
Rodent Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Not really on the road. More like rotting next to a repair shop.
Rob Hall Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Saw a Bing mapping car (Toyota Rav 4) with rooftop camera out driving around today. Also must have been topless Friday, saw a white Ferrari 458 Spyder, Orange Gallardo, red Porsche 356 and a red c2 Corvette, all top down. And a dark colored early 911 coupe w Fuchs wheels in the predawn dark this morning... And for something completely different, a gym in a neighborhood shopping center is using a bumpside Ford F600 fire truck for advertising.... Edited December 13, 2014 by Rob Hall
Joe Handley Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 A Nash Airflyte Ambassador dead on the side of the road?!
berr13 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 1965 Comet Caliente , bright red with 5-spoke mags, waiting for some glass work in Selma, TX. Looked great! Can't wait, Moebius!!
Joe Handley Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Nothing of interest sofar today, but I did see a ratty, very well used aircooled Beetle pulling onto the road I found the above Nash on while heading into work early yesterday (we've been that busy)!
RancheroSteve Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 This very nicely kept '66 Galaxie in the post office parking lot.
Harry P. Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 This very nicely kept '66 Galaxie in the post office parking lot. Wow. That is one cool looking car. A Nash Airflyte Ambassador dead on the side of the road?! Joe... where was that, specifically?
Joe Handley Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Forgot, saw one of the new Colorado pickups yesterday! Joe... where was that, specifically? At the time, Kress Rd. In West Chicago on the part where the road ramps up to go over the U.P. tracks. I actually waited for the the owner with my flashers on since it was a bad spot to leave a dark colored car with no working hazard lights (or tail lights, or gas gauge.........), especially on days like that and since it was also around 3:30pm or so when I stopped.
Camaro68396 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I occasionally see a yellow 1972 Charger across from my school. Used to see it all the time. Also, a couple of weeks ago I saw an early 1970s Firebird that was done up in street machine style. We always pass this house that has 2 1969 Mustangs and a 1975 Camaro sitting outside with nothing but a tarp covering them (BLASPHEMY!). Other than that, I haven't seen much...then again, it is getting pretty cold around here in central PA. Edited December 18, 2014 by Camaro68396
W-409 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I saw this one today on a parking lot nearby. I don't know the story behind it, but it was really dirty and it might be possible that it hasn't been moving for a while. I don't know for sure though. Earlier in the Summer I saw a GMC.
PeeBee Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 An early-to-mid '30s Morgan 3-wheeler cruised past my office on 3rd Ave and 39th St. in mid-town Manhattan yesterday. When you think about, actually a sensible car for driving around the city with it's maneuvering and parking advantages. Although, the weather's getting pretty cold and foul now to be driving without the top on, if the guy even has it.... Oh, and the rear end of an immaculate 67-68 Camaro SS poking out of the garage of a guy who lives up the street from me. I imagine he was giving it a tune-up in as that the dual exhausts were puffing away. PB.
promoman Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I saw a 66 Rambler Ambassador 2Dr in Cleveland
dartman Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I saw a 82ish K car that an old couple drive here in town.It looks like the day it was new.
Joe Handley Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 One of these Plus what looked like a street rodded mid-late 30's GM 5 window coupe in all black.
Joe Handley Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Wow! Those things are a trip! Tell me about it, I had just gotten out of the 200 at the 7-11 near work this morning when I heard a growl, turned around and saw the twin of the one pictured driving past the strip mall I was in. All I was thinking was.........what is that?! Too wild to be that Can Am trike, yet too few wheels to be a KTM Crossbow too. Had to look it up, turns out it's a Polaris! Edited December 21, 2014 by Joe Handley
Rob Hall Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I do like the afternoon commute in downtown Scottsdale..always something interesting. This afternoon, saw a gorgeous silver late 70s Porsche 930 turbo, a dark gray Nissan GTR, a black Land Rover Sport ( the new generation), an orange Mercedes SLS, a bright blue current 911 GT3, a chrome wrapped 05-09 Mustang convertible, and a silver 15 Mustang GT, and a very sharp and rumbling gray Crown Vic LX Sport....
