ChrisBcritter Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Here's a switch - just saw a Buick Grand National headed south on I-94 on a trailer; the car was very rusty (like holes in fenders, doors and quarters). Totally original but must have been driven in the winter on salted roads - a far cry from most of the GNs I've seen which are pampered show cars or are stored with delivery miles only on the odometer.

Tom Geiger Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Three in a row! On the Pennsylvania Turnpike Saturday. And on Route 33 in Hightstown, NJ. There were three in a row but I could only get two in the photo before that Acura drove into my shot. I also saw one of those black Chargers with the stealth black police markers. This one had sherriff department logos the length of the car. When I checked my photo all I had was a black Charger! Logos completely invisible.
Harry Joy Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 What really got me about this car was how it was parked. This shopping center is VERY crowded on Saturdays, and finding a good spot is not easy. But gosh darn it, this fellow was NOT going to let someone scratch his paint.
Crazy Ed Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I've got a feeling that if you were to pull up next to this car at a traffic light you'd best leave it alone. Something about No Door Lock, Paint that's on it's way out and Brand New Tires on Clean Wheels just seems a tad Fishie to me..........
Agent G Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 A '57 Ranchero headed south on the 95 in Henderson. Kind of rough looking in gray primer and white but she sounded good.G

Gives the impression that the owner has certain priorities.
Rob Hall Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Saw a clean light blue w/ white top '57 Thunderbird yesterday, and a clean bright red late '60s 911 today.
69NovaYenko Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) While on my way to pick up a few odds and ends from the grocery store I was fortunate enough to spot this stunning '70 Cuda. It was sitting at the entrance of the park that I live close to. After doing a double take I immediately did a U-turn, because I had to see this sweet looking Mopar E-body up close. After parking I quickly, struck up a conversation with the rightfully proud owner. He told me this beauty had just underwent a two year restoration and was on the streets in her maiden public appearance and he had brought her to the park to snap some pictures of his newly completed baby. He told me she was running a blue printed 440. The engine features a Weiand blower with scoop, dual Holly 750 carbs, dual Holley electric fuel pumps, Crower forged steel crank and high-performance roller cam. K&B domed pistons/rings, Hooker headers, 8" Wilwood power disk breaks on all four corners, Tremec six speed trans, Lakewood slapped traction bars, Moser Engineering 8 3/4 inch heavy duty rear end setup, Flowmaster stainless performance mufflers with 3" stainless dual exhaust pipes that exist just in front of the rear tires in AAR Cuda fashion. The refurbished interior was done in factory stock configuration with console and rosewood steering wheel; except the original style front seats were redone in a very soft leather with side bolsters added. As well the interior sported Stewart Warner oil/temp/voltage gauge package with steering column mounted tach and wood grip Hurst shifter. This killer ride also has A/C and power steering. Wish I could have uploaded a sound clip because when this Cuda is cranked over it emits such a wicket, deep, throaty rumble from the exhaust and a sinister high pitched whine from the blower spinning. Even though I`m a dyed in the wool hardcore Chevy guy I have to admit this is one sensuously alluring and bad to the bone Mopar!!! :-) :-) :-) Edited October 28, 2015 by 69NovaYenko
Deano Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Yesterday, on our way back from my son's Marching Band Competition, I saw a very restorable 69 GTO Judge on a trailer.
69NovaYenko Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) On my way home from church this afternoon and ran into the grocery store to drop off a couple of movies I rented the other day (they have "Red Box" inside). To my surprise when I came out parked on the lot was a `59 Ford Edsel Corsair 2 Door Convertible. It was in immaculate shape. You don`t see these everyday let alone one in this nice a condition.

Petetrucker07 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 This was my Friday drive from Carlsbad headed home to Victorville. What a way to cap off a rough and long week on the road.
SSNJim Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I followed a brand new shiny red Alfa Romeo 4C coupe into Skyline Drive at Front Royal, VA.
Rob Hall Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I followed a brand new shiny red Alfa Romeo 4C coupe into Skyline Drive at Front Royal, VA.I saw a red one in Monterey, CA last month...really neat little car..looks much better in person than in photos...
Crazy Ed Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 This was my Friday drive from Carlsbad headed home to Victorville. What a way to cap off a rough and long week on the road. Nice Shot there Clayton. Were it not for that place being just off a Road it'd be the perfect location with the addition of 5 things, Briquettes, a Grill, Burgers Beer and Friends.

dartman Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I was out riding around the neighborhood on my power chair and saw a 70 grand prix that was original and quite nice parked in adriveway and then I saw what I want to say was a 74 pinto station wagon that was a little rough around the edges.g
Joe Handley Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 After all the stupid stuff that I saw, and nearly hit, last winter, I put a Mobius Action Cam (no relation to the model company) on Layaway at work then ordered up a suction cup mount to hang it in the Jeep and 200 and ever since then, I keep seeing stupid People Tricks, Motorist Edition..............Tonight though, takes the cake! It started raining maybe an hour or so before my store closed tonight so I drove home on wet roads. I pulled up to a stop light and saw a Dodge Caliber with the back end severely damaged and a plastic tarp over the hatch glass (or where it's supposed to be). Then when the light turned green, the older Ford Escape behind it kept the same, non existent spacing between the two while accelerating at the same, nearly non-existant, rate, so I looked closer and noticed the lack of front lighting and bumper as well as that the back of the Caliber wasn't lit in any way...................the guys in the wrecked Caliber were FLAT TOWING the Escape with said Caliber
W-409 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I saw this yesterday on a parking lot when I was parking my Pickup in there as well. You don't see many of these around here, but it sure looks good so I had to take out my phone and snap a picture:
Crazy Ed Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I couldn't get my Camera up quick enough but I saw a Tempe Arizona Pickup twice today. Once less than 2 miles from my House as we were on our way to go Shopping and later on our way home after exiting I-10. We live ~3 hours from Tempe.............
lysleder Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 This morning I saw that my neighbor Ron's '40 Ford rod had frost on it.
Rodent Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Toyota Mirai on the freeway last night. I had heard that they delivered the first one locally to a guy who lives "up the hill" from me a bit. I suspect that I will see him again.

I had heard that they delivered the first one locally to a guy who lives "up the hill" from me a bit. I suspect that I will see him again.I had to look that up. I was thinking of the wacky 90's gull wing car. I did see an old Sunbeam on Hwy 330 near Running Springs. Had pretty faded red, maybe orange paint.Saw a dead raccoon, too.
