Car Spotting

[Variance]

I saw a black current-gen Viper today. It was the first one I saw in real life. It sounded pretty good for the two seconds I could hear it.

[Cory Wolfe]

OMG... I could have swore that I saw myself today. A green GAGT with the windshield sticker... It looked almost exactly like mine. WTF? Maybe I was high or something... :unsure:

[LosAngeles]

Can't believe I forgot to point out that Mazda RX-4 I saw earlier this week.

[LosAngeles]

A few U-body minivans last night. Trans Sport and Silhouette parked one behind the other....then some nondescript one flying down the street 30 minutes later.

[ocnblu]

Big, hot, gorgeous '69 Buick Electra 225 convertible... bright red with Buick's road wheels, black top down, black vinyl bench interior. Magnificent.

[HarleyEarl]

Blu, I forgot about vinyl seats. They used to be so common in cars. That Electra sounds so nice.

[Northstar]

Saw a red Ferrari F355 today.

[LosAngeles]

Just got thru seeing three cars we named off in the "may never see again" post: -the "box Fox" T-bird -1st gen Celica GT fastback -M-body Chrysler coupe (LeBaron, maybe, I have no idea)

[LosAngeles]

And last night, a four-door 72 LeMans.

[pow]

Silver SLR

[LosAngeles]

Last night: -Ferrari 512TR Today, so far: -2 CTS V-series -66 Fairlane convertible -62 Buick coupe -yellow Pantera with front and rear spoilers -Mercedes coupe, forget what it's called, but it clearly preceded the CE. -Karmann Ghia -the first 06 Passat among other stuff I can't remember right now.

[Cory Wolfe]

Well, I forgot to say that I went to the dealer last night... Saw a few 06 Trailblazers with the new face. Looked good... still half-assed, though. I can't believe they put gray plastic where the chrome bar was. They couldn't even redesign the headlight elements... :rolleyes:

[Cory Wolfe]

Oooh, I also forgot to mention the Blazer Extreme I saw. Those things are rare. I think that's the first one I've saw.

[chris]

hmmm... I saw an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish recently, as well as an HHR at the office, a Ferrari F355 Berlinetta that usually parks next to me now... but I haven't seen a single Solstice.

[HarleyEarl]

My sighting wasn't too exciting, but saw an H3 up close parked on the street. I love this SUV...looks so much better in person. Finally greenhouses are getting smaller....looks so good that way.

[AAS]

forgot to mention that I also saw a Joe Gibbs edition Silverado on my trip north Yesterday I saw another 4 HHR's and... a Carrera GT!

[ToniCipriani]

Spotted a white 06 Caddy DTS. Looks better in person.

[z28luvr01]

Saw 2 HHRs while waiting to get my Cobalt serviced. One silver and one black. What a cool little thing the HHR is in person. The inside is very nice. Here are a couple of (bad) pics from my camera phone.




Also saw a '06 Cobalt SS (2.4L) in black in the parking lot. The look and the stance on that car is perfect. If only one could get that appearance with the supercharged engine.

[Satty]

Saw a Fiero in a driveway next to a mid-90's Skylark, in front of a Grand Prix. Can we take up donations to get these people some taste?

[zoomtm]

i saw a buick reatta at mickey d's

[LosAngeles]

-AMC Matador fastback -AMC Concord -67 Impala hardtop coupe -06 Impala SS -Subaru GL fastback -69 Fury III Forgot the rest.

[pow]

Both the new Accord and Civic.

As long as the Fiero is there... They'll always have taste. :D

[LosAngeles]

-76 MC -73 CDV -all-red Typhoon -silver 06 Passat -2 Continental GTs (both silver)

[Cory Wolfe]

Well, last night, I went dealer hopping again. I took pics, but I am having trouble downloading them. So I'll post them once/if I can... Anyways, I saw: -More 06 TBs (still looks good and still looks half-assed) -Two more HHRs (I love this thing... its so cool looking) -More new Chargers (sorry... I'm starting to like them) Another thing I saw was that Grand Am like mine. It isn't exactly the same as it has the rear windows tinted and doesn't have the window ventshades. Otherwise it is exactly the same... green GT coupe, Quad4, 5spd, GAGT windshield sticker. Damn... It was in alot better condition, though. I didn't hear any tick, the paint was perfect, and the wheels were un-stained and un-corroded.

[Variance]

A little late but I regularly see a red C6 Corvette in my college parking lot. I wouldn't be suprised if it belonged to a student. (Rich kid area.)

[pow]

Saw a camoed sedan... think it's the next-gen Camry. It's the same size, has Toyota-styling characteristics, and the same rear door cut-out. Isn't the new Camry going to be based on the current platform? I saw it in the hilly, twisty roads of Palos Verdes, which makes sense because their headquarters are in Torrance, CA.

[balthazar]

Gonna trounce everyone right here & now: tonight I saw one of the mere 7 Oscar Mayer Weinermobiles at a mom-n-pop motel for the night. :lol:

[mustang84]

Today I saw a 1975 Malibu Classic in the same color and condition as the one in the pic below.



I also saw a 1987 Grand National in excellent shape.

[AAS]

I caught an 06 Malibu on campus... it looks good!

[Matt276]

I saw my first H3, it looks very good. And yes, I find the 06 Malibu a lot better with the new front end.

[LosAngeles]

What I can remember from today: -Cobra SVT -Ford LTD 2-door with opera windows -Chevy and Ford classic trucks (don't know the years, but see similar stuff all the time) -Viper GTS So much more, but if you don't lock it in your brain, that's all she wrote.

[bobo]

Finally saw a Subaru B9 Tribeca on the street.

[LosAngeles]

New stuff, plus those I forgot from the month: -90s Cadillac Brougham -early 70s Buick Electra 225 -AMC Matador sedan -58 Ranchero -S-Type with a vinyl roof (why people do this when cars of today aren't conducive to it is beyond me) -and an old 60s S-Type

[Satty]

An old Chevy pickup that apparently had no exhaust whatsoever and flying a Confederate flag running a red light. I bet their other car is a Pontiac.

[zoomtm]

haha...BV is going to get mad again :P

[ocnblu]

'06 Rio on the dealer lot. Silver sedan. Looks chunky and solid. $13.5k with automatic.

[LosAngeles]

More: -that Cordoba/Magnum-based B-body 300 -62 Valiant -73 Sedan de Ville (8-window)

[Mike The Canadian]

3 new 3.5l impalas and a 2.4l (well it sure as hell didnt sound like hte 2.2l) hhr

[ocnblu]

LA, your 8 window Cadillac had to be newer than '73... if memory serves, they din't start doing that until... 1975.

[LosAngeles]

I was a wee pup when those were all over the place, plus they were basically all the same to me, so I was never able to pick apart the years of them very well... Anyway, the newest sightings: -2nd Mini convertible -another VW Phaeton (I have a feeling the upcoming Bentley Flying Spur based on it will outsell it in this city) -59 Ford 4-door -56 Lincoln 2-door -66 Ford Galaxie 500 2-door -64 Dart 2-door -customized Squareback As usual, so much, it's hard to remember. Gotta note the current and previous generation A8s from three frickin' days ago. Edited September 18, 2005 by LosAngeles

[Satty]

A Cobra, most likely one of the millions of Shelby knockoffs, that was nice looking and sounding. A Model A and a Skyliner were to be seen as well.

[GMTruckGuy74]

How about a two-toned light purple (upper) & silver (lower) late '90s Sunfire GTO?!?! Well, at least that's what the little stickers said right behind the doors in front of the rear wheels! Another attempt to make something seem like it's better than what it really is...

[pow]

I saw a new S-class in silver with DST plates. Looks better in person... seems much larger.

[LosAngeles]

Forgot to note that I saw an orange Freelander today too....

[bowtie_dude]

I've seen several 06 Malibus, a couple of 06 Impalas and a few HHRs. And, for the first time ever, I saw a 9-2x today.

[Cory Wolfe]

Well, I saw my first HHR on the road... So that's good. It was a blue LT. Mmm... I also got up close and personal with the loaded purple LT at the dealer. The interior is nice. Roomy (for me), but not overly big. Looks really nice. I also got to witness a PT Cruiser owner check it out... Interesting. She loved it. Said "it's much nicer" and "there's more room in the back". Her husband couldn't stop saying how it's the same thing as the PT. What an idiot. Oh... I almost forgot... The goddamn plastics were hard and felt cheap. It absolutely sucks now... Ugh! :rolleyes: :P j/k I also saw the new PT again. I need to take some pics to show how mediocre it is in comparision. I saw the new Ram, too. The front looks good. Better than expected. Same with the interior. However, those headlights are huge!

[cutlassdude96]

new Charger yesterday

[RBB]

I saw a Caterham Super7 on my way home from work on Friday:



-RBB

[Flybrian]

Saw a valiant attempt at an entry-level luxury car V-Series. No, I'm serious. I assume it had the Stealth Group package, which includes truck rack, three-out-of-four wheel covers, and a vinyl top. I'm thinking of making my Aurora a 442 for fun.
