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

[xXKingJoshXx]

Question: I've only gotten one vehicle (G-Wagen), and it doesn't seem like I'm gonna see anything else interesting this week based off the past few days. Is it even worth posting one spot?

It's up to you, really. There's no issue with it either way.

Is the CTS-V considered a sleeper?

Ask me about how I chased a G Wagon six city blocks last night to get close enough for a picture.

That would be awkward if it turned out to be a drug dealer. Perhaps a little worse than awkward...

 

[GranTurismo916]

Yes

Well, then. (This is a better picture of the CSTS-V that was invalidated for the previous round)

Sleeper + Supercharged:

This car is ridiculously hard to get with my stupid slow Galaxy SII camera.

 

[Doog]

That's an STS-V.

 

[playnthru]

What Doog is saying is... STS-(V?).👍

 

[disinfected]

STS V is also supercharged.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Never heard of the STS-V.

 

[disinfected]

Was only on sale for a couple years, been gone for awhile now. VERY rare and a good spot.

Got good news and bad news.
Good news- I saw not one, but two G-classes while at the Astros game.
Bad news- phone was at 2% and when I wanted to take a pic a message came up saying "Low Battery" and shut it off.

Oh, the amount of missed spots today

I personally don't think so... It's a Honda with a 6-speed. Not very "high performance" to me but Josh may say otherwise.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

@ildd What the hell? Your quote had these pictures in it:

Anyways, I'd have to say no to the Si.

I thought I took the numbers out of the "attachment" tag and I must have left a number there
Those were the 5th and 6th uploads to the forum.

 

[JMoney]

As long as nobody finds a longer car, I just need a G Wagon, an Air-cooled and a supercharger and I'm good.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Would this be acceptable for the performance version of a mundane car? It's an Alpina B7.

Sorry, no. It's like a Shelby, if that makes sense. Surely there's a billion Monte Carlo SS' etc. roaming around Pennsylvania like there are here, no?

 

[Slash]

@playnthru

That Bronco is not lifted. That's stock height, just has big tires on it so it looks taller.

Ah no problem, just checking. There are indeed, but I got this instead.

Ah ok.

I thought it had a 4inch lift..Maybe not.

I...I can't believe it. I got the bonus car.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Needs to be rotated.

 

[ildd]

Needs to be rotated.

I'll rotate it when I have my final entries tomorrow.

 

[Doog]

Needs to be rotated.

Maybe it rolled over. I wouldn't place too much faith in the G-Wagen's handling abilities.

My final submissions:

Lifted - K5 Blazer.

Air-cooled car: LuAZ 969M "Volhynia"

Sleeper - BMW X6M, counts?

Gelandewagen - here. Easy.
