Car Spotting Scavenger Hunt Redux. Round Nine on now!!!!!!

I'll think of some categories and get them out in a little bit. Good round everyone!
Great spot on those RX-7s 👍
Wanted to say who actually found one should win this week. Never thought one would find 3.... in a row.

I actually know where two others are usually parked also, but I figured three was more than enough.
 
Here we go. Hate to pull the double post here but it is what it is.

1. Make My Day - An armored car. Find examples of these near banks or large department stores. These are the vehicles that get money to and from where it needs to go.

2. Streeeeeetch - Any limousine counts here. Must be an extended model of a car. No chauffered BMWs here.

3. Japanese 90's Challenge - Takes it's name from the event synonymous with Gran Turismo. Eligible cars for this one are as follows: 90-99 Honda Prelude, 90-99 Mitsubishi Mirage, Honda Civic (EG Hatcback), or a non-GT Four 90's Toyota Celica.

4. Learn to Park, Dude - Any car that has committed the crime of parking across more than one parking spot. Also known as the self-centered prick that doesn't want anyone to hit his Mercedes.

5. Summer is Upon Us - Any convertible car....with the top down.

6. (Bonus Car) - Audi A5/S5

Good luck!
 
Looks like some good categories! I'll be around this week to play again so watch out! :lol:
 
I better start carrying my rather awful camera around with me more often. These types are more in common with my area. :D So many customers at the restaurant I work at are horrible at parking. And luckily, they're mostly regulars. :lol:

1. Just gotta go to the mall :sly:

Everything else, it's on.
 
I've got 2, and 5. Just need 1, 3, 4, and The Bonus. If I can find the R33 Skyline that's around town, would that count for a 90's Japanese?

I can snag a pic of a 1st Gen Mitsubishi Eclipse. The College Park AKA Self-Centered Prick Park I can walk down a few blocks to the college and get. So, I might have this done by tomorrow.

EDIT: 1...I guess I COULD go to the local AFB and snag a photo of one. Or, if the armored truck is there downtown tomorrow, I can snag that. That one is a little harder to come by, but not impossible.

The rest...aren't that hard.

The 90's car has to be one of the ones on the list. And by armored car, we're talking about one of these.

And remember guys, when taking a picture of a guy taking up two spots, I mean actually across two of them. Not an old man that got a tire over the line.

Hope that helps.
 
I hope the weather improves this week, so I can find the convertible one. And strange enough the parking jobs here are quite good. Hoping to find one though :)
 
slow week indeed, weather changes every 15 minutes.

We're friendly when parking, except for the occasional handicap spot stealing.

3. Japanese 90's Challenge - Possible, but nothing today.

No A5/S5, even though they're common enough to be spotted in my town.
 
E - Gonna edit this post with my submissions. If something isn't valid, let me know so I can go get another. Pretty sure I'm good with all 8 points for this week! :D

No A5/S5.
 
Can I get a ruling on that truck? If that won't work, I still have time to get something else.

e - Housesitting for my parents. Otherwise I wouldn't be at Katy Mills/First Colony. I'd be at First Colony and Galleria.
 
Of course, after going out taking some pictures and hunting. Finally a limo passes by my house when I'm doing yard work... :grumpy:

Learn to park, dude:
The truck and trailer combo was taking up like 12 spaces at Best Buy. Why can't you park in the back of the parking lot instead of taking up all those spaces?:

That's it for me. Busy week meant I couldn't really get out. That coupled with the bad storms we got hampered my productivity.
