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

[xXKingJoshXx]

It's not that. It's getting the actual pics, atleast for me. I could've won by a mile if I got a picture of everything. I got one from every category including one bonus. Just hard to get the pics.

 

[astrosdude91]

Round seven categories:

1. Grey Import
Find a car that was never available in your domestic market. IE Ford Mustang in Great Britain, Nissan Skyline in the US.

2. Douchebag mobile
Spot a car that just screams douchebag.

3. Ten Cylinders
Find a car with ten cylinders.

4. In-House Tuning Divisions
Find a car that's been done up by the brand's in house tuning company. EG Mercedes AMG, BMW M, Nissan Nismo, Ford SVT, etc.

5. Stance, yo!
Love it or hate it, the stance/hellaflush look is popular among the kids. Find a car that is going for the look.


Bonus car:

Audi S4

Let's get some more entries, guys!

Would an R8 V10 come under category 3?

Stupid question, I know, but what do I know? We all know, I know nothing.

Yes. V10 has ten cylinders, naturally.

 

[Joey D]

Good categories this week, I should be able to snag some before Thursday (I'm leaving for up north on Friday for the holiday).

Question on the grey market one, I assume they have to have your resident country's plates on them. We get those funky Canadian cars here all the time but they are Ontario plates instead of MI ones.

 

[gjeff12]

Haha, we have a secret weapon for the grey market over here...

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Of course I just seen a Ford van with a V10. Interesting categories.

 

[gjeff12]

Oh, and what's the difference between an s4 and an a4? Is there a way to tell from a distance or just a different logo?

There's the logo most of the time, on the back and in the grille. Don't mistake it with the S-line, that's something else.
I know the latest one has quad exhausts and the one before (second pic) has dual and a small sideskirt on the door.
example:

I'm not really up to par with the douchebag mission... Any examples, or is it just something you don't like personally?

+1

 

[Cano]

agh I had some stuff for last week's. Stupid work.

I'll work on this one. It'll be easier it seems, the only really hard one will be the V10 thing, and even so something might turn up.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

The V10 really shouldn't be that hard, assuming you live near some big trucks (hint hint)

 

[funkyDucks]

Almost every car in Ireland is a 4 pot. 👎

 

[astrosdude91]

Yeah the 10 cylinder one shouldn't be too hard. The big Fords come with V10's. And there's always someone in town with a first gen Viper.

As for the douchebag one. There isn't really a set criteria. Whatever you think is a douchey vehicle is good enough to enter.

2. Douchebag mobile
Spot a car that just screams douchebag.

Bonus car:

Audi S4

There's a difference?

 

[poolhaas]

There's a difference?

 

[gjeff12]

Do we get bonus points if we: a) Get two or more things in one photo, or b) Get two or more more things with one car?

Another thing, when does this round end? I've got 2 so far, Ijust need a deadline for getting them up.

No, no, and Sunday.

 

[gjeff12]

Ok, cool. Those first 2 weren't very serious. One more question, can I use some pictures that I took a while ago if they fit? Or do they have to be current? I'm not talking years just recently.

EDIT: Just looking through my roadtrip photos, I really hope they're ok...

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

They have to be taken after the categories are set I believe.

 

[gjeff12]

Ahh, really? That's too bad, I had THE BEST douchebag truck.

 

[astrosdude91]

Nope they have to taken within the week of the current round. Otherwise I could just go through my spotting folders and decimate all.

 

[gjeff12]

Yeah, that makes sense. I might just have to put it up as an example though.

 

[poolhaas]

There's always the questionable mods thread

 

[Joey D]

I've got most of them, still need to find a grey market car which is proving to be harder than I thought. Chrysler is always driving around Alfa's but they are no where to be found this week.

 

[Cano]

In stark contrast, I've only found the grey market import, but it's not as if it was hard in this damned place.

 

[ShobThaBob]

It's pretty much next to impossible in the states =/

 

[Joey D]

1. Grey Import
Volkswagen Transporter

2. Douchebag mobile
Lifted Dodge Ram are almost exclusively driven by d-bags around here.

3. Ten Cylinders
Viper withe the ACR wing, or who knows it could be an ACR, I was like a mile from the Chrysler HQ.

4. In-House Tuning Divisions
MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works, 2012 one at that!

5. Stance, yo!

Bonus: Audi S4

 

[poolhaas]

Uhm, I don't have much knowledge on number 1 (grey import) I have a photo of a Chevy Avalanche but looking on the web I see nothing but import from the US. So I'm guessing it wasn't sold here on the market...?

 

[poolhaas]

1. Grey import
Chevrolet Avalanche (not 100% sure)

2. Douchebag mobile
According to my own experiences... A blonde lady was tailgating my for about 10 minutes today in this exact same model.

3. 10 cylinders
Nothing.
4. In house Tuning
Nothing, unless the S4 counts.
5. Stance, yo!
Nothing
