MAY 2014 CAR SPOTTERS THREAD HERE!


Recommended Posts

Saw a white Aston Martin Rapide in an airport parking garage last night...next row over from it was a very strange '05-10 Chrysler 300--done in matte black w/ large black wheels, and a giant blower thingy w/ 2 carbs and a scoop sticking through a hole in the hood. I don't know if the blower/etc was fake, seemed out of place on a modern car.

Stopped at Ikea tonight on the way home, still daylight. This about scared me away, itself.

The person driving parked similarly timed to me...and was abnormally young, at least for something like this. Interesting stuff.

'68-70 Chevy C10 shortbed, red, very clean, parked.

'56 Chevy Nomad, blue, looked original but unrestored, owner tinkering under the dash in the driveway.

The roofless carcass of a '34 Olds for sale in a driveway, half under a tarp.

And also, this was circling overhead further along my trip. I don't think POTUS was on board. They flew veerry low multiple times without the gear down. I'm guessing it was for training as there is an airforce base nearby.

First gen, nice condition, Neon...coupe. Been a very, very long time since I've ever seen one of these. Purple with 2nd gen Neon aluminum wheels on it. Showed a bit of pride in ownership, some faded paint aside.

Cool little cars, back in the day, rough and all.

Went 'Sunday lot shopping' in Mercer County (Lawrenceville, NJ) to Coleman Buick-GMC and Princeton Chevrolet. At the Buick-GMC dealership, spotted:

'56 T-bird, black, nice, parked.

62-64 Studebaker GT Hawk, red w/ gold roof, decent, parked on street.

I love that era of hawk.

Black Tesla Model S

Gray Jaguar XF-R parked in my alleyway

I have seen a bunch of Teslas here in Columbus Ohio.

This is so over the top I actually like it.

Been quite awhile since I have seen a 56 Nomad...!

There is a dark gray late model Aston Martin V8 Vantage parked in my next door neighbor's driveway today.

I talked with the owner of an Aston martin in front of the Rusty Bucket tavern in Bexley the other day.

Another Nomad today!

'55, white with red scallops, chrome wheels, very nice shape, rolling.

Sweet! Even with the good guys nationals in Columbus and multiple car shows, I bet its been five years since I have seen a Nomad!

Went out with my wife to dinner, took her out for mothers day. Parked between a sweetly detailed C5Z06 dark blue, and a black 500 Abarth Fiat. Had a huge rain storm coming home, followed black C4 through one hellmof a storm back to our subdivision.

I really would not mind a Corvette... And I have this silly thing for C4 VETTS....

New Nissan Leaf that had a new tag in the window, just bought. Was laughing as the person was complaining to another person that there were no electric only premium spots for him to park in at the park and ride. Amazing how entitled the tree huggers are that buy pure Electric auto's.

I am a tanker (and tender, in fire-dept speak) fan... I saw this tanker trailer on my way home from work yesterday and it's the first time I've ever seen this type tanker trailer:

Is anyone familiar with this type of trailer? If yes, does it serve a specialized purpose? I see "Sunoco Race Fuels" on the side; is this the type of trailer used specifically at race tracks? At first I thought it was military-spec since I live near Joint Base Dix-McGuire-Lakehurst (and the color is very Air Force-like). Just curious if this type of trailer is more common in other areas.

Speaking of buses, I saw a slammed baby blue and white VW doublecab pickup w/ one of those vintage side window swamp coolers in traffic tonight..sweet. And saw 3 XLRs today in traffic--a silver one, a black XLR-v, and a dark blue one.

I was behind a '67-'72 F250 Camper Special last night, with a form-fitting, painted diamond plate bumper. White top, brown down the sides, and white on the bottom. It was clean as a whistle. Speaking of whistles, I kept hearing a distinct whistle from the old hauler as he went up hills... I wonder what he had in that thing?

'63 Impala 2-dr hardtop, white over yellow, minty, parked

'67 Nova 2-dr hardtop, deep red, howling down back country road

'68 Ford Torino 2-dr fastback, dark blue I think, burbling down back road.

68 was a good year for Torino, they paced Indy with a Torino ragtop that year.
