deuces wild Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The boys in blue in my rear view mirror.. Glad they made a right hand turn and kept going..
The70judgeman Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 On Monday I saw a FUBARed Jaguar F-Type Convertible about to be dragged up onto a roll-back. There is a major construction zone in the Zoo Interchange(anyone from around here knows what I'm talking about) where traffic lanes narrow each way and apparently the driver ran out of room and spun the car around and caved the entire rear-end into a temporary wall. Other drivers had luck on there side, because the Jag was the only vehicle involved. Traffic was backed up for almost 2 miles and hardly moving...glad I was going the other way.
Tom Geiger Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Today on my way home from work I saw a Smart car with a rotating key in the back of it. It was stopped at a light and the key kept spinning. If it wasn't dark and I knew how to do a video from my smart phone, I would be posting it!
RancheroSteve Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) This Rambler "Speedster": It looked a little rough at first glance, but it turned out to be a well thought out car with good workmanship. Lots of tubing in the interior to strengthen the unibody after the top was cut off. Hey, this could be built using one of those "Ram Blur" snap kits! Edited November 9, 2014 by RancheroSteve
Crazy Ed Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Saw these while looking for Hawks to take Pics of on my way to Photograph Sandhill Cranes.
drunknmunky Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Found this at a local car show. Not too shabby.
Tom Geiger Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Today I looked out the window at work and there was a Delorean sitting at the curb! In the no parking zone!
peter31a Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Today I looked out the window at work and there was a Delorean sitting at the curb! In the no parking zone! Did it have wires running along the side? Mr Fusion unit at the back?
Crazy Ed Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Saw these off of hwy 191 today. Oldest First. Lots of Rust in this Valley.
Rob Hall Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Saw a black Aston Martin Vanquish and one of the new Lexus RC350 coupes today in silver, first I'd seen in person--very edgy coupe..as in lots of sharp edges and strange lines...
Joe Handley Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 After taking my Cherokee out for a little while, I was out running around in my 200 and started to notice it seems like the XJ Cherokees are returning to the streets, haven't seen this many in one day that didn't belong to my family in a while.
Sixx Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Yesterday on route 2 headed to Lowell IN, I passed by a 1980's Corvette...4 x 4 !! Nice blue paint, but why on earth would anyone build a Corvette 4 x 4?????? It looked totally dumb! Kind of defeats the purpose of a sports car!? : (
Joe Handley Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Wow, I never see iny Cimmarons any more!
1930fordpickup Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Wow, I never see iny Cimmarons any more! There is a reason for that.
cobraman Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Coming home from the doctor I saw a beautifully restored 56 Ford pick up. Bright red with white walls. Absolutely beautiful.
Joe Handley Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 There is a reason for that. Very true, especially in the Midwest!
drball Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Spotted a black Enzo in Scottsdale yesterday on the 101.
Harry P. Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 There is a reason for that. I wonder how many people were actually suckered into paying a Cadillac price for a tarted-up Chevy.
cobraman Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Isn't that still the case with some vehicles ?
Harry P. Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Isn't that still the case with some vehicles ? Sure is. And as long as consumers keep falling for it, they'll keep on doing it.
lordairgtar Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I wonder how many people were actually suckered into paying a Cadillac price for a tarted-up Chevy. They still are. Ever see an Escalade or a H3?
Rob Hall Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Platform sharing is the norm at most automakers...been that way for decades. The Cimarron was an example of bad badge engineering--pretty much a mediocre Cavalier with some slightly different trim and a longer option list. As far as Cadillac today, the ATS and CTS are on Alpha, which is exclusive to Cadillac for now, though the 6th gen Camaro is supposed to be on it. The XTS is on Epsilon II and has a lot of dirty bits in common w/ the Lacrosse and Impala, but has it's own unique interior and exterior. The SRX is on the same platform as the Equinox and Terrain, but again, unique body and interior. The Escalade is on the same platform as GM's other fullsize BOF SUVs (Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban) but has a lot of differences inside and out... Edited November 14, 2014 by Rob Hall
Casey Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Saw a white Porsche 944 and a blue Camaro IROC-Z this afternoon. Hope the heater was working well in both.
Rob Hall Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Saw a new BMW M4 coupe this afternoon in a neat chartreuse yellow..hawt..
