In the wrong thread...

I thought the Acura was some fancy thing called a "Eura" lol. The Toyota was just plain old.
I also have a Mustang. It was louder than normal. I was tols it was "Riced. "

"Try not to double post..."
"Okay"
- double posts :facepalm:
I got excited today when I spotted something I'd never seen before in my rear view. What is that?! Slow down, no use guy's only doing 25 mph in a 25... so I pull over as if to park along the side of the road, then pull out and follow him. Got a bad pic but then he turned in to a parking lot! So I followed... (though technically on the clock, coming back from a delivery.) I pulled up right in front of him and waited for him to get out with my window down, grinning, I see the Volvo badge and read 144, he gets out, "That's a Volvo?!?" I ask. "Yeah, 144, 1974... some pieces have fallen out..." "Oh, that's okay, look at it, it's a survivor!" "Yeah..." He smiles. "If it's not too weird I'm going to take a picture now, okay?" "Sure." Nice owner. New Mexico plates, older possibly hippie/down to earth guy, or just nice working class, not sure.
How many of these were brought to the US? I'd never seen one before. Amazons are MUCH prettier, but this is undeniably the first modern Volvo. Cool, I thought anyway. Wish I'd asked how many miles were on it...

I just made the biggest car spotting mistake in the histiry of car spotting mistakes.
I left the camera behind. On a trip to Kennesaw no less.
I'm not going to bore you guys with the wonderful cars I saw (No pictures), but that is my new favorite town. When I buy a house, I'm moving there. Mercedes-Benz is as common as Honda in that town.

Got some decent spots today, not a lot though. I'm slowly learning to gain more confidence in this sport. I see plenty of cars, but I'm always too damn shy to take a photo!
Porsche somethingsomething. (pic might be upside down, apologies if so)
A very nice MK1 Fiesta, owned by a young couple with a kid, too.
MK2 Focus RS (no filter, just a weird stormy sky)

Thank God I didn't take the camera to Kennesaw! Every homeowner is required to own a firearm and ammunition unless unable to.
Although most would use them responsibly, I doubt they would've taken kindly to a kid walking on the streets checking out their cars.

Umm...really?
(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.
(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.
Kennesaw ordinances.

Dat Eura lol. That may be worse than my "vette" screwup. At least the vette and the "vette" are the same company. I'm not even sure Eura is a dealership.I'll repost this again:
Edit: Needless to say, you guys can forget about the proof. I'm not risking getting shot to prove I saw some old vette
Umm...really?
Some spots from November-December:
Porsche 911s. These 2 guys were driving together.
Phaeton
G55 AMG
BMW M3 Convertible
Today:
Terribly focused pic of a Bel Air.
Not is a BelAir, but a Mercury Montclair 55.
Terribly timed pic of a Focus ST.
MR2
Another MR2! (or MR-S.)

Just only 2 spots today:
1966 Pontiac GTO Coupe, I found this across from an Ace Hardware store just sitting in a patch of tall grass. It looks a little worn out.
Toyota MR2 Spyder
