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

[JMoney]

I'll be in NYC this week, so I should win provided I can find the fastest car, or multiple Volts.

Pointless car- Chrysler Crossfire. It's hideous, and who would want to buy a sports car from Chrysler? It's really a more modern Buick Reatta.

Red, White, and Blue cars.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got #1

Taped light.

 

[ildd]

I'm guessing this can be had for 10% of original price... bit I have no idea what it is.

View attachment 145383

Ok...I have 1-4, kind of #5, and one bonus car now.

 

[JMoney]

isn't acceptable, than I'll submit this 196-mph Gallardo.

As well as a Volt.

Edit:

Found a 217-mph Aventador later today.

 

[Xilor]

Going hunting now. I've screwed up a bit, was seeing tons of Volts earlier in the week but didn't bother taking any pictures. Got tied up these last few days however and right now only have #1.

I can't remember, if a car has an electronically limited top speed, does it's ACTUAL top speed count or it's 155 MPH limited speed? For the top speed category, obviously.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Electronically limited speed counts.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Electronically limited speed counts.

Ok thanks for the reply. 👍

Still have another half decent car I can use, however hopefully tomorrow will yield some better spots...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

This will be my top speed car

New Quattroporte
Think I have red white and blue for national colors

Red pickup whit van behind the blue ford.

 

[Rage Racer]

So, my final submissions are:

#1 - River Island, lol.

#3 - there, right in the order.

#5 - Ferrari 599 GTB.
Top speed: over 330 km/h (205 mph)

#4 - what were they smoking?
Toyota WiLL Cypha.

1. Duct tape fixes everything! Any car with a badly done repair job. ex. duct tape, wooden bumpers, mismatched panels, trash bag windows, unpainted bondo, different types/sizes of wheels, etc.

This 356 Porsche clearly has unpainted bondo showing..

2. You got that for how much? Any car that is worth 90%+ less than the MSRP. Car must be in acceptable condition,so no large rust spots, dents, missing paint, torn down interior, modifications, etc.

IDK maybe this XJS A proper road machine when new. Now just a used car.

3. I honestly can't think of a name for this one. Get cars in a picture that match the colors of your country's flag. Ex. Americans need a red car, a white car, and a blue car in one picture. One car that is red and another car that is blue and white will not count, for example. It must be 3 cars.

United States of...VW/Toyota and Honda

4. What were they thinking? A car.that is just so ugly and/or so pointless it makes you wonder what the manufacturer was thinking/smoking.

Buick Rendezvous

5. Gotta go faste. Since the nice weather is here, I'd like to do the car with the highest top speed challenge again. So, this category is about finding the car with the highest top speed. Factory rated top speed is what counts.

Porsche Carrera GT. Top Speed 205 mph (wiki)

Bonus car: Chevrolet Volt / Opel/Vauxhall Ampera

Volt/Lambo

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'm not submitting, I only have an Aztek.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

y u no post those in the DYSAGT thread?

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Duct tape fixes anything!: Nothing

You got that for how much?: Also nothing, really don't know retail prices and I'm to lazy to look them up...

Flag one, stealthy shot

What were they thinking?: Plymouth Prowler

Gotta go faste: My best was a CTSV (198 MPH), stupid limiters preventing me from getting anything better.

Bonus car: None

 

[playnthru]

The Ferrari 458 Italia Top Speed is 202 mph, 199 for the spyder I saw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_458

Here are my entries, I may still go out later tonight and if I spot anything I'll add it here, but I doubt it.

1. Bad repair Job: Honda Civic hatch with mismatched front and rear bumpers.

2. Cheap car. This one is a bit tough because its hard to guess a car's value without knowing its mileage, this rough looking Volvo V70 is my best guess, these were $30k-$35k when new.

3. Red & White.

4. Ugly car, this one is a bit subjective but I find the Prius V to be one of the ugliest cars in production right now.

5. Fast car. Nothing worth posting.

Volt #1

Volt #2

1. Duct tape fixes everything! Any car with a badly done repair job. ex. duct tape, wooden bumpers, mismatched panels, trash bag windows, unpainted bondo, different types/sizes of wheels, etc.

Or even this:

2. You got that for how much? Any car that is worth 90%+ less than the MSRP. Car must be in acceptable condition,so no large rust spots, dents, missing paint, torn down interior, modifications, etc.

Nope.

3. I honestly can't think of a name for this one. Get cars in a picture that match the colors of your country's flag. Ex. Americans need a red car, a white car, and a blue car in one picture. One car that is red and another car that is blue and white will not count, for example. It must be 3 cars.

I would if our own cars were allowed.

4. What were they thinking? A car.that is just so ugly and/or so pointless it makes you wonder what the manufacturer was thinking/smoking.

Apparently they weren't smoking anything this week.

5. Gotta go faste. Since the nice weather is here, I'd like to do the car with the highest top speed challenge again. So, this category is about finding the car with the highest top speed. Factory rated top speed is what counts.

75mph, maybe 80 if you push it. I was going to nominate the C7 I saw a few days ago but the Beetle is one of the few cars I like more than the C7 and I don't want to win again this week.

Bonus car: Chevrolet Volt / Opel/Vauxhall Ampera

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

#1

Taped light and other non repaired stuff
#2

Cheap car, this truck
#3

Red F150, White caravan behind the truck, blue truck
#4 What were they thinking

Aztec
#5 Gotta go fast

New Quattroporte
Bonus car Volt

 

[ildd]

The thing about the truck, @Gotbeefboy564 , is those had an MSRP of like $5000. I doubt you can but it for $500.

 

[JMoney]

The one week I have a chance to win, I'll probably lose because of Chevy Volts. 🤬 electric cars.

1.

2. Used taxis are worthless.

3.

4. Crossfire

5. Aventador (bonus points for taking title by over 10 mph?)

Bonus: in front of Explorer

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Try rotating your pics next time.

 

[playnthru]

A taxi cab.

I don't even know where to begin here.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

The taxi cab is too new to count, assuming you're talking about the Camry/Corolla or whatever it is. I really don't think a car that new, taxi or not, would've lost 90% of its value.

 

[JMoney]

Try rotating your pics next time.

???They look rightside-up to me???

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The bottom 3 aren't.

 

[JMoney]

The taxi cab is too new to count, assuming you're talking about the Camry/Corolla or whatever it is. I really don't think a car that new, taxi or not, would've lost 90% of its value.

It's cool, I got this

2000 Escalade: $4200 KBB, $46,000 new.

Everyone knows Camrollas are impervious to 'depreciation'.

2003-2006 Escalade*

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

The goal of that challenge was not to find a car that's depreciated, but one that has lost 90% of its value.

 

[motortrend]

Didn't find a single Volt so I won't even submit

 

[ildd]

I saw a Volt today but couldn't get a picture
So I have #1-4, and one bonus point... so I lost again.
