Saw a Ford Raptor pickup in the same color and markings as Revell's model of the same. The look of the model has not impressed me. And neither did the real thing.

Looked at your Location and it seems you do "USA" :rolleyes:. There is a down side - It's an 80 mile round trip for decent Beer! The upside is I tend to stock up so there's no hurry to head back to town!

I live in an area that is so awful that I am ashamed for anyone to know that I live here, so I just listed my location as USA.

Saw 4 current Rollers in traffic--black and silver blinged out Phantom on chrome 24 inch wheels, white Ghost, dark blue and silver Phantom Drophead Coupe, and a dark red and silver Wraith (the oh-so-sweet fastback coupe). Also a white Aston Martin DBS V12 coupe.

This was sittin at the hotel when I checked in this afternoon.20150331_142337-1_zpsij7ffooe.jpg

Why would they need a hotel room? That truck looks like it would have more interior space than your average double-occupancy room.

Sleeping room for 6 people and room for a quarter sheet of plywood in the back!

At dinner tonight, I saw a white Ferrari 458 Italia, a dark red Ferrari 599, a dark gray & silver Rolls Royce Wraith coupe and a dark blue Rolls Phantom coupe, all in the same lot...never lack for interesting car sightings in Scottsdale..

Yesterday on my way home from work a white Porsche Panamera passed me on the freeway. Today my wife and I were at the local garbage/recycling place and a very nice restored red 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS rolled up behind us and ended up following us out as well. Don't know for sure what engine, but if I had to bet, I'd say it had a 396 under that Cowl Induction Hood. Of course, I forgot my phone. So, no picture.

Spotted a really nice Healey in the lot at work today, as well as a Shelby Z Daytona at the tire shop when I went to pick up my 200 on my lunch break........with 225 section width tires and a plate that read "Q N Cudly" ......if it is anything like my Lebaron GTS Turbo was, it could as cute and cuddly as that wizzed off grizzley bear that you're trying to wrestle :D

Orange Superbird with black vinyl top, and a Road Runner stuffed animal leaning out the quarter window on the DC Beltway inner loop getting off on the BW Parkway South.

@Jim- Just a little info on Superbird's....It should always have a vinyl top as to cover the rear window plug. It was faster and cheaper for the factory to move the car "out the door" rather than spend the labor to blend it in and paint the roof.

Posted

I knew they all had vinyl tops; I didn't know they were all black. Maybe there was a mod top or two out there...

I remember the first Superbird I saw, parallel parked (!) in the Highlands in Louisville, KY in the early 70's. The one thing that caught my eye was the spoiler with the Road Runner logo.

When I was a kid living on the Pirmasens, Germany US Army Post (1969-72) there was one Superbird. US supplied gas on post was rationed with ration coupons since it was much cheaper than buying it at a German gas station. I remember my father laughing that the guy was begging coupons from the guys who had VWs and didn't drive much!

I wonder what ever happened to it.... was it sold there or shipped back?
