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

[Dagger311]

Let's expand that 2nd pic a bit.

It looks like either @Doog's second picture, or your first. It was dark and hard to tell. Yours looks a little big, but his looks a little small. Angles are everything though. It was right next to me, so it's going to look big.

What car were you in?

 

[Dagger311]

An '08 Nissan Rogue. My dad loves how dependable Nissan is. He came from a Cavalier though .

Just saw one of these yesterday

I thought my car was loud, this thing was shaking my seat just idling from across the intersection

 

[Dagger311]

Okay, so I found two different cars that look close, but the Aston isn't it, just looks similar.

Jag XK

Aston V8 Vantage

I work right around the corner from a vehicle restoration garage. All day long there are nice cars from brand new specimens to vintage collectibles. I see alot of rich people goin in and out all day. I try to snap pictures when I can, but it gets embarrassing as every single person stares at you as you walk by haha. Recently they started closing the gates, I wonder if thats my fault haha.

I know its hard to see, but that Trans-Am was in mint condition. I didnt notice it until it was to late, as the truck was zooming by me

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

All of those are great spots. 👍

 

[AlvaroF]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 postable cars. Great job.

👍 Theres something new everyday, they had a 300SL Gullwing the other day. Always run into a Porsche, a Jag(usually an E-type, they get alot of those too), and Pantera's. I'll see what I can find today on my way home.

The Alfa, I'm not sure what it is, but it was nice.

EDIT: I think I got my threads mixed up haha

You should definitely go in sometime and talk to them 👍

The actual garage part of the facility looks fantastic.. Rows and rows of restored cars. I always wanted to go in there, but its on my way to the bus, after work. My time window isnt to big either . Also, I'm all dirty from work because I work in a warehouse that Manufactures aftermarket cooling parts for automobiles, couple that with the fact that i'm a man that does not shave his facial area.. They'll probably think I'm a beggar.

Not so much dirty from whats going on, mostly dirty from dust and random stuff haha.

Red car, picture 5 is a Maserati Merak.

I was wondering, as I thought It was a Pantera, but couldnt put my finger on it.

 

[Heldenzeit]

All those are pretty good spots I'd say. Especially the Alfa.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Saab 9000 CS. Is it any good? (dem headlight wipers tho)

 

[Slash]

Saab's to me always felt like a poor mans car. Take that how you will.

It's not a CSE, so no. (Which still isn't that good.)

I didn't think so, but I've never seen one and figured I'd take a pic in case it was something special.

 

[jus1029]

Considering that it's a grey import...

Legit Alpina 5-series?

 

[ImaRobot]

From the past two days. Dont know what most of these cars are haha, I know the brands, just not the exact cars.

 

[Dagger311]

All of those are beautiful. I saw some nice ones today as well. Going to get IDs soon.

Come on, this thread is supposed to be a debate on what constitutes good or interesting not posting a snap and asking for an ego stroke. Any car which is ubiquitously rare is worthy of the DYSAGT thread. Are you seriously questioning whether a Rolls-Royce or Ferrari 365 or Jaguar E-Type is DYSAGT worthy?

The real issue of this thread, or so I thought it might be, is whether something mundane but didn't sell well or whether something formerly common but increasingly rare is worthy; cars which aren't high performance and have no real distinction other than that you don't see them very often hence original discussion on models such as SAAB 9-5, Triumph Acclaim, Volkswagen Corrado or Alfa 156 estate.

A debate on interestingness is not reason for posting things and asking for a rating, I don't think. It's more of a question on what makes a car noteworthy or interesting.

Ego Stroke?

• Is this a good spot?
• What kind of car is this?
• Should I be looking out for these?

So I broke the rules, by going by the rules? Maybe that 2nd bullet should be taken out then.

 

[Liquid]

Yes, it should. A different thread almost certainly already exists for "What car is this?"
