Did I Just See Something Good Today? (DYSAGT Opinion-Seeking Thread)

[Slash]

Guys I don't think that was an S10. I just looked it up because I wasn't sure, and the front ends are entirely different. This one has something that looked like it was from 1970. It was not a V8. Had a Chevy badge in the center of the grill. Help? Grill looked nearly identical to that of a 1971 C10.

Because it was a Chevrolet LUV..

I thought it looked kind of foreign. Thanks!!

I didn't even know that existed.

 

[playnthru]

Yeah made since the early 70's and often turned into V8 muscle trucks/ street freaks.👍

Good spot I think.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

At least the LUV had some owners with proper visions.... the S10 was turned into a floor-scraping cruiser with no use whatsoever....

Here's the Harley davasion edition f150 @Slash

I've seen a couple of those before

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I see them all the time here. There's 3 of them in my neighborhood. However, the fact that the two nearest Ford dealers always have a bunch of them in stock might have something to do with that.

They still sell them? Ford dropped it a while ago.

Maybe because no ones a truck with a motorcycle badge on it?

They must, Ford made them for a long time but in limited quantities.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw my first motorcycles today which ones should I look out for besides Ducatis?

 

[Slash]

Older Honda's. Anything 650+ cc.

Not anymore. I should've worded my post a little differently.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw this today.

I know the base mustang isn't ok but I was wondering about the Camaro.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I wouldn't consider 3rd Generation Camaros to be a decent spot unless it's one that still looks showroom condition or if it's an Iroc-Z. Other than that, they're kinda common.

 

[Slash]

Both are good.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Both are good.

The Camaro is stretching it, but how is a V6 Mustang anywhere near a good spot? I might as well start taking pictures of all of the Accords I see on a daily basis

 

[Slash]

Because it's still a Mustang. It's no different that seeing an old one with an I6. Regardless of what engine is in it.

 

[Zyla]

I'm starting to question certain peoples' judgments as to what cars are good or mediocre spots.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Except that the old ones are rare and the new ones are as rare as rocks.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yeah, a V6 Mustang is only a good spot if it's seen in a country outside of North America.
For S197 Mustangs, I only take a picture of one if it's one of these: Boss 302, Shelby, or maybe a GT 5.0.

 

[Slash]

Even a I4 Fox Body is still a Mustang and I'd still call that a good spot.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I knew the mustang wasn't good I was wondering if the Camaro was because I haven't seen one since last fall.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Even a I4 Fox Body is still a Mustang and I'd still call that a good spot.

but there's more to car spotting than a car being good. It has to be at least somewhat rare. If it was just good, then I might as well start taking pictures of Ford Fusions and Honda Accords.

Posted this in the questionable mods thread

There's a different between those and a Mustang. The Mustang is a performance vehicle even if the engines in some of them aren't really "performance".

 

[AlvaroF]

I mean, I'm not american but a Mustang is in every street corner, I don't care if they are a performance car, thy're just too common

It doesn't matter though if the Mustang is a performance car or not, if it's a car that you can see a lot of within a day; it's not a good spot. It's like the Porsche Cayman or BMW Z4, they're good performance cars like the Mustang, but they're also commonly seen in some cases, so they don't qualify as good spots.

 

[Slash]

I've never seen either of those.
