While sitting at a service center, I saw this older corvette. I think a C3. Beautiful car.

That's actually a C2 Corvette, but still a nice car.

------------------------

One wtf moment for me was this modified Dodge Ram Van, you should've saw the back, it was converted to a poorly designed pickup truck bed.

Toyota MR2 (AW11), I probably should get close to the car next time.

I just got a bunch of pictures. I'm going to post fifteen different cars. Please identify them, and then I'll post the next 15.

Thanks for any and all help.
 
1. Chrysler PT Cruiser (not worthy of this thread)
2. Not sure, but I can't imagine it being anything of much interest.
3. Dodge Dakota, I think. (not worthy of this thread)
4. C4 Cavalier Corvette. Not bad. :)
5. Some trees, grass, a house, and a Camry or something uninteresting.
6. A couple Dodge Durangos, a couple Chevy vans... (nothing worthy of this thread)
7. Some awful Buick turd.
8. Late 90s/early 00s Camaro, not bad, but not really something I'd see anyone post in here.
9. VW Golf, not sure of the exact model. Looks modified a bit.
10. Another awful Buick turd, this one's a Century I think.
11. Fox Body Mustang, not bad. :)
12. Older modified Wrangler. Not bad, but someone else here could tell you more about it than me. I don't know anything about Jeeps.
13. Some awful Nissan turd...
14. 5th gen Celica, not bad.
 
1. PT Cruiser. No.
2. Corolla...please no.
3. Dodge Dakota. Why would you take a picture of that?
4. C4 post-facelift Corvette, alright.
5. Early 2000s Honda Accord. Why?
6. Dodge Durango, two Chevrolet Astros, a Geo Prizm and another Durango. Why?
7. Buick LeSabre. Really?
8. F-Body Camaro, nothing too special.
9. Mid-2000s Camry, Mk IV Golf, early nineties S-10. Some people may consider the Golf a good spot (for being a GTI), but they're nothing special to me.
10. Buick Regal. Why?
11. Late eighties F-150, early nineties Park Avenue, fox body Mustang, mid-nineties in front of the neighboring house. Certain members may consider the fox body a good spot.
12. TJ Wrangler. Borderline good/bad spot.
13. Late nineties Altima. Why?
14. Mid-2000s Camry, late nineties Camry, Celica, late nineties Accord coupe. Nothing too special.
 
@Dagger311 Just a quick pointer, look through the previous pages, check some of the spots that some people post up so you get an idea of what is considered an interesting post. Based on where you're from and what cars you see on a daily basis it will vary.

Also is there thread for identifying cars?

EDIT: at least you posted some decent spots.

I don't think so. Most people just ask in here or make new threads (usually just people that don't post in this thread) but a thread for identifying cars would be a good idea.
 
You mean I found a corvette!? Yes! Deleting the bad ones now.

The crappy ones I had various different reasons for taking. Mainly because they looked shiny, and someone said a few of the older trucks were good spots.
 
Only five up this time. I'm going to go through the next block of photos, and get rid of anything that looks normal.

Thanks again!
 
The Pink suburban is cool :lol:
The red Celica- my favorite body style

And then a regular Dodge Neon, Chrysler Sebring and a 90s Taurus? Those 3 are bad

Thanks again!

A pink suburban?! The heck?!

Alright Dagger, tell me; what do you consider to be rare or good? Because a lot of these cars you're posting aren't fitting to these categories. I mean, a gen 3 Taurus is mostly considered appalling if anything.
 
Okay, weeded out the ones I recognised as bad immediately. Here are the ones that were left.

In one of the pictures, I would like to bring to your attention a red car on the far left side. It's the picture of the walk sign button.

There's also some unidentifiable car under a tarp, didn't even bother posting. Enjoy! I have a feeling most of these will be better.
 
Solara, Supra (good), Mustang, Altima, Impala, Smart Fortwo, TSX, Grand Prix, TL, Nova, Stratus and an Accord. It's a small improvement.

Well, not really. The most interesting one you did find was in the first shot (Mk III Supra), but you cut half of it out in favour of the Solara. :odd:

I figure some of those would be of minor interest if I chanced upon them in the UK, but the majority seem to be models typically found in any part of the US.

Well, my battery died. Great.

Knew the Nova was nice, and the Solora was black with gold, caught my eye. Didn't even notice the supra.

Working on more deleting other bullcrap shots now. It's amazing how many accords I snapped pics of, just because they look shiny in black...

Not to be mean, but I'd suggest not posting in here until you know more about cars. IMHO.
 
Okay, 27 more photos by my count, thanks again for all the ids, and I apologise if they are bad cars, but I won't know unless I'm told.

Here's sixteen of them. Going to post the other nine later.
 
@Dagger311

Some 90s Buick - Not good.
Ford Crown Victoria - Decent.
Pontiac Grand Prix - Meh.
Some 80s American Car - Ew.
BMW 5-series - It's not an M5, so meh.
Nissan Altima - Terrible.
Honda Accord - Don't you see 2,000 of these every day?
Volvo - Ok.
Chevy Cobalt - No.
Jaguar X-Type - Decent.
Acura Legend - Ok.
Ford Focus - Not good.
 
From what I can tell, none of those are really interesting except for the C5 Cavalier Corvette in your 5th and 6th pics.
 
Wow, thought the Pontiac would do a little better... Anyway, last ten, including a better pic of that supra, and some older trucks.

And I rarely see a jaguar, so that's pretty nice for me. And The Nova was awesome. I like all the old American cars though.
