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

[xXKingJoshXx]

Sorry I'm late with getting the scores together. I was enjoying the "camp"fire I had going outside and lost track of time. I'm going to start tallying scores.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I'll need @ildd to double check my tallies but I've got @playnthru winning this round.

None of the pictures are loading for me

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Well then...

Should we just give the win to playnthru, then?

From what I can tell, Playnthru had the full 8 points, right? So there's no other competitor that can actually win/tie.
So yes, I think he won.

 

[playnthru]

If I won?
How about these categories..

1) Pre 1980 Wagons/Estates. Any Estate/wagon pre 1980. Any condition is fine but running and registered is best.

2) Fat tire lover! Any car with enormous wheels and tires. Dubs, pro-street, even wide OEM performance tires (think 275mm and up.👍) No trucks or SUV's.

3) Blue to you. I like blue . Let's see the some nice blue cars! Judging will be by current value. For the color blind anything that looks blue to you will be considered.

4) Go postal! Catch a picture a postal vehicle driving.

5) Favorite Datsun/Nissan. Any Datsun/Nissan you like. Must be good condition and registered.

Bonus! Slug Bug/Beetles/Type III whatever. Any old VW car counts! No vans or buses, cars only.👍

For #4, does this apply to only USPS (and equivalent), or does it extend to UPS/FEDEX?
Here's #2. Rear tires are 275/30/20.

I don't see why not, since he didn't specify USPS, just postal vehicle.

What happened to DHL I used to see a few of those trucks but I never see them now.

Well that was fast. Usually I don't see these guys.

And then suddenly UPS

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got a ups truck too

 

[GranTurismo916]

Alright, I have these so far:

Nissan that I like (it's on my list of trucks that I actually like)

One bonus (the Karmann is always a useful car for this thread):

 

[JMoney]

Could someone remind me if I can use a photo from last week for this week? There's an old Datsun 240Z that was actually the subject of the same picture as that Escalade.

No, the picture must be taken during the week of the hunt. So, for example, if you take a picture on Sunday night at 10 pm... you can't really do anything with it. But if you take it Monday morning at 12:01 AM, it can count for the next/this week.
(if that makes sense)

Thanks, that's what I figured. Shouldn't be too hard to find another though, there's one always parked in a driveway in my grandfather's neighborhood.

 

[ildd]

Got dat #5 swag. Can never go wrong with a 200sx/z31.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Are you guys alive?

I have more:
Two more old VWs...that makes 3 for me.

(There was a car show going on, but this wasn't in it)

Wide tires + Blue car

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Almost forgot this for #2

Haven't seen a good 1, 3, or 5 yet.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I'm alive, but haven't been posting cars as I get them as usual. Here's all I have so far.

 

[Doog]

Go ahead and add me to the mail truck club.

Go ahead and add me to the mail truck club.

It's funny how when I need to take a picture of a mail truck, I see none for the whole week, except when I can't take a picture because I'm on the bus coming back to my school from a track meet.

 

[ildd]

*prays this is a 1979 wagon*
Rite? 1979? Maybe 1978? Please?

 

[GranTurismo916]

Delivery:

I have no idea how old this is. Is it old enough?

Changing my Nissan to this:

Also, @playnthru, the blue car - is this a one winner situation? And how is it being judged?

 

[playnthru]

I was thinking current MSRP.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I'm 90% sure that Volvo isn't old enough to qualify for #1.

So far I have the postal vehicle and 2 bonus cars.

 

[Dagger311]

I've got absolutely NOTHING. The mail has very sporradic running times here.

So does anyone know how old this is?

Is it a competition to see who can get the best car?

If by best car you mean most expensive, then yes.
