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

Just posting this again so it's on the new page.

1. Any car with abnormal color wheels. (Normal colored wheels include: white, black, alloy, chrome. Anything else is acceptable as abnormal)

2. Car with the worst HP/L. Any car that has a terrible HP/L. Only the person who posts the worst HP/L car will get the point.

3. Another car that is the same make and model as your own. A car you see that is the same make and model as your own car. Rebadges of the same car do not count (ex. if you drive a Cobalt, you can not post a Pontiac G5, even though they're the same car) Color of the other car does not matter, but it must be the same generation as your own. If you do not drive a car, use your parent's car. If we do not know what you, or if you're posting a parent's car, drive then please provide a picture. Most likely we won't know what your parent's car looks like.

4. Bad parking. Any car, truck, or SUV that has taken up 2 or more parking spots. Vehicles hauling trailers do not count as they often have to take up more than 1 spot. Parking with the tires on the line do not count. They have to be on the other side.

Example:

This does not count:

This counts:

5. Huge size difference. Two vehicles with a huge difference in size.

Example:

944-and-ltc-jpg.175483

(Obviously this wouldn't count for me, but you get the idea)

Commercial vehicles such as semi trucks and limousines do not count.

Bonus: Mercedes-Benz R-Class
 
Would this count too?

And would this count for parking?

I think he was waiting for someone but at least he could've stayed in the lines.
 
Yeah..or maybe something like this 948cc, 37hp Monster!

Pffft, my car has worse HP/L than that!


Impossible to know its HP/L without knowing what engine it has. I'm gonna assume they came with a lot of engine options.

Sure.
 
No, but having a separate pic would be helpful. You don't need to do it now but when you do your final post on Sunday make sure you include it.
Saw a few R clases too but didn't know they were the bonus car until I saw the list when I had a good wifi connection :banghead: Hopefully I'll see more this week.
 
A rather cruddy-looking F-150:

No, haven't seen any that's good
Bonus, no keep missing them.
 
Chrome is oddly colored? :odd:

Nope. His first pic doesn't count. And neither does @JMoney689's (basically the same wheels :lol:). Also, Jmoney, I thought only the '90 TC had 30hp/liter. All the later ones had smaller and more powerful engines. I'll check.

Edit: I can't tell from the picture if it's a '90 or if it's a later model, so I guess we'll just go with 30hp/L...

I thought it was late 80's.

Nope, the oldest that one could be is a 1990. The 1990 Town Cars had the same engines as the 80's Town Cars (4.9L 302cui 150hp V8) unlike the 1991 and later Town Cars that had the smaller and more powerful engine (4.6L 280cui 190hp/210hp V8) but there's no way to tell from that picture if it's a 1990 or if it's a later model so I'll let it pass.

Edit: I just made my post clearer after reading it because it was a bit confusing.

Late 70's early 80's C3 Corvette, I'll guess 200ish HP from 5.7 litre's.

Nope, nothing.

This FJ40 is taking up three spaces.

5. Huge size difference. Two vehicles with a huge difference in size.

Example:

Toyota FJ40 with a massive lift with a Porsche Carrera RS clone.

Nope! Not a one.:grumpy:
 
Obviously this is just for fun. I can't win this week so this post is not to be counted in any totals.

I never kept the un-cropped version of this picture, but it's easy to tell it's a Beetle and a Chevy truck.

Just one.

I've been planning these for a while :D.

Most of a kind: Find multiple cars of the same make sitting side-by-side in a parking lot (without skipping spaces, even if they are empty) or parallel parked in a row. The winner of this point will be whoever finds the most cars in a row.

Slow, but ahead of you: Get a picture of a notably fast car driving behind a much slower, non-commercial car.

Inspection Failed: Find a car on the road that should not be on the road, such as a car with a brakelight out or a broken windshield or other problems.

Race Imminent?: Get a picture of two sports cars sitting side-by-side at a light.

Really Old: Get a picture of a car built in 1949 or earlier.

Bonus Car: Porsche Cayman.

Are we trying to find multiples of the same car next to eachother or just multiples of cars from the same make next to eachother? Ex. 3 Honda Civics next to eachother or an F-150, Mustang, and Focus?

This should be easy for me because we don't have inspections in Indiana and I see people all the time with cars in awful condition.

It's not uncommon for someone to be driving without brake lights. :scared:

Cars from the same make, like a Mustang, F-150 and Focus.
