Roadrunner Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I saw a beautiful older Mercedes convertible today, sort of a bluish gray metallic color; top down, windows up, it was very nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why not just get a car? Or a fullsized van, GM sells them with AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 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. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscool Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Looked at your Location and it seems you do "USA" . 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 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. Sounds like either Downtown L.A. of Washington D.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Lectro Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I saw what I think was a GMC Syclone at the local Dunkin Donuts. I was in a rush to get to an appointment, so I didn't have an opportunity to confirm if it was a the real thing or a standard GMC Sonoma pickup with a body kit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_Syclone Edited April 5, 2015 by Danny Lectro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Lectro Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This was sittin at the hotel when I checked in this afternoon. Why would they need a hotel room? That truck looks like it would have more interior space than your average double-occupancy room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 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! Sleeping room for 6 people and room for a quarter sheet of plywood in the back!

Rob Hall Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 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..

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This week: a uniboby Ford pickup, a chopped '49 Ford coupe, and a '40 Ford next to a '41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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.

Joe Handley Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSNJim Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So much stuff I wanted... A Lotus Elite, a Fiat 500, a custome Stude Golden Hawk, old Econolines, a gold Buick wagon (1970 I think) and a '65 Ford truck street machine.

The70judgeman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 @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.

SSNJim Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 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.

Tom Geiger Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) 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?
