Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[jeffgoddin]

And, Gotbeef, "Nobody likes my post?" Unless I'm an idiot, that's a showroom, and those photos belong in the other thread. Somebody might like them there, but not really here. This thread is for wild spotting.

For instance, there's a Mercedes dealership nearby where I could probably stop by and take photos of an E63 or C63. But that wouldn't be very exciting for me.

Seeing these guys on the road today, though, made me smile. Been a while since I've seen anything good. Well, the RS7 a little while back.

Is this real? I didn't think they made the Mexico as a 4 door.

Not as nice as the 2 door but cool nonetheless.

Could either be a regular 4-door that's been modified. Or if you're lucky, one of the 4-door Mexicos formerly used by the Jersey police.

Incredibly rare find if it's the latter. Ford only produced a handful of them in the 70s.

I don't have photo uploader yet, but my latest finds were:

-Ferrari 430 16M (again, hopefully I'll spot it again to take a pic, at last)
-Porsche 911 Turbo (996) (I see this every week or so)
-BMW 335d (not the i but it's still fast. My uncle drove it to the limiter with me in the car)
-Aston Martin *Dramatic music* Cygnet!

Don't give us a list of supercars you supposedly saw without proof.

Love the look of these things, had they made decent engines for them I would've considered getting one. The only powerful engine was a 2.4 petrol that wasn't good on fuel and only produced 180bhp.

I'm not sure what you mean by decent engines, as I've not heard bad reviews on their reliability. The 2.4 was also the only engine available in the Kizashi, and there was an AWD 6 speed manual model as well. Strap a 185hp engine to that and you've got quite an animal in my opinion.

Edit: Sorry for the double-post.

 

[Clark]

Yeah but it's dismal on fuel and you can get plenty I 1.6 and 2.0 turbos that have more performance and economy.

 

[Zyla]

23mpg city for a 2.4? I'd say that's reasonable enough. Even if you disagree, I'm not really bothered by cars' fuel economy anyway, whether it be good or poor.

 

[Clark]

My 3 litre six gets the same if not better performance, and it has 260bhp not 180bhp.

It was supposed to be a really thrashy engine anyway, not really that enjoyable to extract the performance from.

Just think it would've been better if it had a modern 2 litre turbo petrol or diesel.

-> Just one for today:

OH MY

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, that GT-R is the kind of car to comment on when you happen to see it from 3 pages back. Epic. Though I think I said so already. Just interesting to note, I think, that very few posts more than a couple pages old get any further replies.

And Doog, I'm curious, what was that a parking lot for? Way out in the desert somewhere looks like.

And, I hate taking photos into the sun, but whaddya going to do. Sunny and cold today, after warmer and wet yesterday. On my way to work, an SRT-8 Magnum tickled my fancy when I noticed it had stock wheels. So many of them seem to get the dub treatment around here...

Barrett-Jackson. Was still a ways away from the event, so I posted it here. Also, here's a blurry F-Type:

Waaat you went to the Barrett-Jackson car show yesterday?

[JrDarknes]

I meant to post this yesterday, raced a GTR =D.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Gotta love California winters.

 

[poolhaas]

Nice colour combination on the Mustang.

Yeah! Typical greaser kid and pin up girlfriend were driving. Looked straight out of the 60s haha.

 

[Doog]

Always good to see a non-compact sedan/crossover/gaudy truck in the line of cars at school.

 

[Sage Ages]

Meanwhile, in Civicville, USA...

 

[Dennisch]

The original squashed bug. Nice.

 

[Zyla]

Yup. That's an IS F.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Still have yet to see an ISF in the wild.

While on my lunch take:

Was in front of Dollar General… or Dol!ar Tree. Whatever.

I finally have pictures that aren't blurry or far shots:
I honestly don't know how rare it is to see this gen of the 7 series other than I rarely see these.

Holy Chrome on this Hummer H2!

One of my 3 favorite Mercurys:

An Impreza WRX that I liked, it had a sti badge on the back, but I'm not sure whether or not it is one.

VW Jetta Mk.4 GLI

Co workers GTR and my wagon having a chat.

It has brembos so my guess would be that yes it's a STI. I dont like how they removed the side pieces of the grill though. :/

Alright then, cool. Thanks for the info.

Also yeah, I don't like that the owner did that either.

Dat Escort. And the 70 Chevelle. That thing looks mint.
