Well, I don't jave anything as cool as you guys, but I did get some nice ones (Got pics this time). Don't know what most of them are, so if anyone can shed some insight...

Dodge Charger.

Mustang.

Unsure (Please Identify make and model if you know it).

Unkown, with no way to tell (for me).

Not sure, but super thin rear wing.

I believe this to be a corvette. Hard to tell in the picture, but I would swear I saw zr1 on the back (Not the same one from yesterday, that one was red).

Camaro Z"L"1
 
Err...
A base Charger
A Mustang
A Interprid/Stratus?
A w203 C-class (my car) or the grand Marquis
An Accord
A Camaro


I wouldn't exactly call these good.
Well, I can't find all those ferraris and lambos, this is Georgia, not Cali.

If that's an accord, he had the rear wing fitted, because we passed 100 today, all without rear wings.

Stratus is a rare car here, not very many in GA.

Sucks on the C-class, but it still looked cool.

Camaro is epic.

Anyway, thanks for the I. Ds.

A Ferrari or Lamborghini isn't the only thing that makes something a good spot. For example, if the Camaro was a ZL1 (I couldn't tell) then that would be a good spot. If the Mustang was, say Roush or Shelby, or would be a good spot.

The Accord and Interprid/Stratus wouldn't be good spots because, well... They're crap.

Since you live in Georgia, odds are you have a better chance of seeing old Muscle. That would be a good spot.

Edit- and as a w203 "specialist" I would say that's a 2001-2004 C240 or C320. They're good cars but I'm fairly certain the w203 was the most sold Mercedes line to date.

I saw a few old muscle cars, but the pictures were blurs with the piece of road they were on, not proof of them. I saw an old (and I mean OLD) cadillac, but with no proof, you don't know.

Although I will say, anyone who has to lie about what car they saw, is pathetic.

Camaro was a zl1. Guarantee it, I read the first letter (z), but thought it was a corvette, because I never saw the front (those things are fast). If you would like, I can email the pic, or you could download it and try zooming from there.
 
ZL1 was definitely a good spot!

Just odd that you thought it was a Corvette... and that you posted a bunch of rubbish besides.

I'm going to guess you're about 13, not driving yet at least, and I appreciate your enthusiasm for car spotting! But posts like yours are definitely going to catch you some hell around here. This isn't the "Did you see anything today?" thread, you need the Good in there. Somehow I caught the spotting bug a couple few years ago... and at first, I didn't know what anything was, and I posted all kinds of crap, too. But you learn, and get better. And sometimes you go driving just to look for cars (or get your parents to indulge you and take you spotting between some errands in the rich part of town, or when you go into a big city, like Atlanta.) I guarantee you, if you drive around the right parts of Atlanta, Savanna, and probably a few other big towns in Georgia, you're going to see some good cars. If the weather is nice, and bonus for Saturday. Check the fancy golf club parking lots, too. And the most expensive restaurants. And if you can figure out which one it is, whichever mall/shopping center is most favored by the rich people in town. Not sure where that is in Georgia, but in Cleveland, OH, it's Beechwood/Legacy Village on the East Side and Crocker Park on the West.

One thing that might be very tedious, but is good to do, is to stop and do some internet research to see if you can figure out for yourself what car you've seen. You may discover it's crap, but you may find out it's better than you thought, and either way you'll be learning something.

Just trying to be helpful, you're a first time poster here and I don't want you to get scared off by the initial response.

Oh, it also helps to say what you personally think is good about the car, along with the photo. Helps us to see what you see (and you obviously liked all these cars when you took pics of them...)

Oh, one more thing. My photos were like 75% useless blurs at first. Of course, I was using my stupid wide angle old flip-phone camera. Even so, I practiced. I would keep my phone out where I could grab it quickly, I knew the button to activate the camera, and how long it took to come on and focus, and also just where the car had to be so you could see anything at all, and finally, I was getting probably 75% of my on-the-road pics to come out at least identifiable. Then I got $150 camera, chosen because it was quick to turn on and take a photo (about a second I'd say, though usually more like 2 seconds to have a chance at focusing.) And I keep it out in the open in my car, in a little spare change tray between my stick and the center console/storage bin between the seats. I get spots without thinking now. Oh, one other thing is to shoot first and ask questions later. I missed too many spots because I was indecisive at a distance. As soon as you see something that you think might possibly be good, get ready to take a picture. Of course, 90% of the time it'll turn out to be an Eclipse...

@jeffgoddin thanks for the response. I t ought it was a corvette because I was out working that day with my dad, and was tired and thirsty. I just saw "Z" on the back and thoght it was zr1 (Corvettes are my favorite).

Oh, and you're not far off on the age part. I'm 15, will be 16 this March.

What I liked about them? I didn't see them very often. I had never seen a Stratus before, or a car with that kind of rear wing. I've seen very few corvettes and camaros, so I try to get pictures of them whenever I can.
 
The CTS is less common over here that you'd believe. Interesting enough in my book.

One car I was hoping to see this week, and did. :D

C63 AMG, License plate: "5LOW" :D

He daily drives this car, and has a friend with a Ford Taurus SHO.
 
I just remembered! Who would like to see my neighbors vintage blue mercedes, and (POSSIBLY) my three-doors-down and across-the-road neighbors el camino? I cqn guarantee the mercedes (Not even sure it moves anymore), but the Camino is rarely in the parking lot, and it would be hard to take a picture without freaking the neighbors out.

I'll go take a picture of the mercedes and post it.
 
This was the best I could get without going on the road or on their property. Not sure if there's anyway to prove it's a mercedes in these pics, but it's old, even if you don't believe it's a mercedes.

You don't have to ask permission to post photos here :P
Few more, because my last post didn't have enough Maserati.

Love those Maserati pics!

And I asked in advance because out of all those cars (Which I personally thought were awesome), only one was considered good by others, and I wanted to see where an old mercedes and an el camino would rank up. Don't think I'll be able to get the el camino, it's not in their driveway much, and like I said, I'd look pretty shady standing across the road taking pictures of what they assume to be their house.

Anyway, merc is up :)

I wouldn't like taking photos of my neigbours cars either, good thing they don't have good looking cars.


That's it from me.

Love the Lambo, and I'd bet there's quite a few people here who'd take an el camino or that mercedes. The Camino is in great shape, to. The Merc is all rusted up on the other side though...
 
Went walking and saw a few cars I've never seen before. I also saw a Camaro, in my neighborhood! Wasn't fast enough though... By the time my camera on my tablet was up, he was around the corner.

I can't for the life of me find out what most of them are though...

You should post them. 👍 And Camaros aren't rare (unless you're in a place that doesn't make them).

May not be rare, but awesome nonetheless.

Anyway, here you go.

Please identify the black car in the middle.

Another mustang, same one as yesterday, except blue. Not very rare, so won't even post the pic.


Don't know what this is, but it has a hood ornament.

No clue, but it was shiny, so...

Finally, we have this, which doesn't look like much, but it looked nice enough for a picture.

A Lexus IS200, another common car.

Buick, it's not rare.
 
Well, the crown vic was probably a police car in a past life... usually they get 24 inch rims put on them :lol:
Buick is a wagon, automatically cool. Not necessarily rare though.
Love Buicks, especially the 60's ones.

And getting better, passed up on a few that looked nice, but upon closer inspection were just repainted accords or Altima's.
