Tom Geiger Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Last Saturday on a bicycle ride I was stopped at a light waiting to cross a busy state highway and a line-up of cars was waiting to turn left off the highway. It included 2 Lambos, 1 Ferrari, 1 911, 2 Vipers, a late model Vette and some poor schmoe at the back of the line with a 90s Camaro! I have no clue what they were up to but it was in a wealthy area of town. If it wasn't a Saturday I'd say that high school had just let out!
landman Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 It wasn't today, it was Tuesday. But I was passed by a goegeous silver Aston Martin, likely a DB9. Niiiiiice!
GLMFAA1 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I saw an old Datsun pick up truck and the pick up bed was just a liner,with some sheet metal over the back tires
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 On my way home from work yesterday, I saw a beautiful metallic blue & white '58-'61 Corvette driving down the highway. Not sure of the exact year. It was across four lanes of traffic. Steve
Rob Hall Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Saw an eclectic group of cars yesterday morning on the way to work--white McLaren MP4-12C spyder, red Ferrari 458 spyder, black Cadillac XLR-v, and a black/silver Rolls Royce Wraith--the first of the new big RR coupes I've seen--stunning.

You guys out west sure see some cool cars. Not so much around here... I only saw my first Tesla just a few weeks ago. I've seen the same car several time since; obviously the owner is a local guy.
Rob Hall Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 You guys out west sure see some cool cars. Not so much around here... My commute goes through Paradise Valley and Scottsdale..I guess in Chicagoland equivalents it would be like going through North Shore towns like Lake Forest or Winnetka--high dollar real estate areas, probably some high dollar cars there.

Right you are. But I work from home. My commute is from my bedroom to my home office. Most days the traffic is pretty light... not much to see.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Saw these out and about a couple weeks back, and they all ended up at the shop. Also saw a teal MG-TD heading north on I-75 earlier today.
cobraman Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 That Falcon is cool but I would prefer different wheels. Just my opinion.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 That Falcon is cool but I would prefer different wheels. Just my opinion. I agree entirely. The car was built by another "good" shop that specializes in FoMoCo products, primarily Cobras and Cobra kit-cars, Shelby Mustangs and glass Deuces. It has a front rectangular tube subframe, Mustang II IFS, and a 5.0 engine with EFI. It's also been plagued by overheating and a horrible feeling monkey-motion clutch linkage since it was built. We fixed all that.
The70judgeman Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) I think it was Wednesday on my way to work I saw a Jaguar E-Type convertible...bright red with a black top. Today I saw a minty green '53(?) Chevy that was mildly hot-rodded and a red '68 Firebird. Also saw the '70 Challenger again mentioned in an earlier post and I could see that it is FC7 Plum Crazy Purple. Wish I had the $ to make an offer on it. But, I can already hear the most common answer in response to an offer on such a car..."No, it's not for sale, I'm going to restore it someday." Yeah right. EDIT- Was wrong about the color on that Challenger. Drove by again today without wearing my sunglasses and it's actually a very faded B5 Blue. Even so, what a waste of a car sitting in a garage rotting away with all kinds of sh...ahem...STUFF piled on top of it. Edited September 7, 2014 by The70judgeman
Tom Geiger Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Right you are. But I work from home. My commute is from my bedroom to my home office. Most days the traffic is pretty light... not much to see. I go into the office once or twice a week. No more than that. I went out to pick up a pizza this evening and realized it was the first time I had left the property since Thursday!
Brett Barrow Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 In our parking lot about 5 minutes ago. Ferrari FF (with 2 child seats in the back )
Shardik Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I happened to have my camera with me while relaxing in a sidewalk cafe in Fort Collins, yesterday...
Harry P. Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 OH, I see a Blue XJ in that pic! You look past the cool muscle car and get excited about a Jeep???
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 One of these in the Publix parking lot in Buckhead just now. Nice grocery getter.
W-409 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 This is what I saw today here in Finland. I didn't have a camera with me, so these pics are from Local Cruising Night and Street Race Event.
1930fordpickup Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) http://public.fotki.com/Montucky/park-n-shine-2014/?view=roll#2 Sat in Future Liner #10 today. Those things are tall. I was at the Park and Shine Car show at the Toledo PowerTrain plant today. Edited September 8, 2014 by 1930fordpickup
Danno Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 You look past the cool muscle car and get excited about a Jeep??? Diffrunt strokes . . .
Rob Hall Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 OH, I see a Blue XJ in that pic! There are still quite a few of the old XJs around in Colorado, at least that's how I remember it..they were very popular there and had a long run...
