The Porsche in your last post looks more like a 928 to me. The 968 has more rounded edges.
Also, the Mach 1 seems like a 1969 model, but I'm not sure about that.
EDIT:
Everything he posted, except the modified Civic, seems acceptable to me in this thread.
The Fiat looks like the 500E, the electric variant, which you don't see that often. Personally I won't bother, except it's the Abarth, but I can see why one would think it's a good spot.
Chevette is kind of "meh", but again, not a highly common sight. Arguably acceptable.
That generation of the Eclipse isn't particularly great as a sports car, but it's a good-looking car nonetheless, and not so common compared to, say, 350Zs, so it's justifiable. Even though I'm not a fan of how it's modified.

Thanks! Don't see enough of the 928/968, so not surprised if I got them confused...

yeah, hell, I would've taken a shot of the Chevelle, too, thought twice about posting it here, but if I had a bunch of other decently good stuff to post, too, sure, I'd throw it in. Because this kind of car has been mostly recycled by now, the still running survivors are indeed rare.

It's a late 60s Bronco from the looks of it, so that makes it automatically a great spot.
EDIT: I have a small bit of cars to post now and 2 of them are a leap of faith I think, but I'm posting them anyway since they're both cars I quite like.
Early 2000s Mini Cooper S, because stripes. :3
Subaru Impreza Outback; it's fine except for the wheels, but it's one of the most decent looking GC8 imprezas I've seen in a while. I think I already stated that the first gen Imprezas are my favorite ones.
the other 2 that aren't.
Another look at the Nova I posted a while back.
A Nismo 370Z and at a fricken CVS Pharmacy

A WRX with STi wheels and spoiler. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
That's probably just an STi, but I have no idea why someone would remove the STi badge.

If it is a STI with the badges removed, it wouldn't be the first time I saw one like that.

@Gotbeefboy564 that Chevelle is a 1971-72.
@jeffgoddin that Mustang is awesome. I've only seen 3-4 1969 Mustangs ever.

I've seen a couple, but I see way more 1970's. Only ever seen one 1969 Mach 1 on the road, probably about 5 or so years ago now, and saw a purple 69 Coupe last summer at the drag strip. 1970's are everywhere.

I've actually seen a lot of 1969 Mustangs in my lifetime, but that's probably because I've been at quite a few Ford related car shows.

Appeared to be a 964 Turbo S with some kind of body kit. Anybody here familiar with that design?
This is quite bizarre. It reminds me very much of Porkers tuning/bodywork outfit B+B Auto Exclusiv did back in the mid 80's, grafting Series 1 928 lights into 911 rear bumpers, etc. This one however is a much later model and has got 928S4 rear lights moulded into that custom bumper. Not my cuppa, but if the owner likes it good luck to him!
EDIT: Oh, hang about it was Rinspeed that put the 928 lights in.

Look at what I ran into this morning.
The Camaro ZL1 was at the bank this morning yet again. I guess this confirms that the driver definitely works here.
Another Tacoma X-Runner, it's definately not the same one as the one I saw a week ago as it has a different license plate, a tonneau cover, and a sticker in the rear window.

If this isn't a ZO6 it's fooling me:
And now, for my saddest miss list ever...
Black C7 Corvette Convertible. I'll post a photo from google images so it's not just text. I was distracted, and the camera was down. I did wave though, and he nodded.
Edit: SL 55 AMG. Still ugly.

No pic with it, I'd have no idea where to start, I'll take a look at the SLR and check some others.I don't see a pic but it sounds like you may be describing an SLR McLaren. If so, the second part of that sentence is a lie
Edit: @xXKingJoshXx nope, the vent thing wasn't as big, and the car was a lot shorter.

Tri-tri-triple spooooot
Early 1940's Chevy Panelvan
1978 Camaro (looks like a higher trim level? )
1990's Impala SS
New C7 Corvette (I've been seeing a ton lately. I won't post anymore until I see a Z06)
Same Impreza I've posted in the parking lot in the past, but a pic of the front. Basically perfect.
Also, I can now confirm that there is a new Chevy SS in my neighborhood... Saw it in the same place. Now I just have to get a pic...
And I saw the new electric Cadillac! What? I thought that was only a concept...I took a pic but my camera timed out or something

I apparently wasn't done spotting today, because I went to a couple stores today and saw some vehicles that are somewhat interesting.
I finally got a picture of the Cobalt SS at my Walmart that's in person and not from a window.
A Chevrolet Silverado SS
A closer look at the Dodge Neon SRT-4 I posted a while back
Then, I took a scenic route home through the neighborhood I went walking around in a few days back and saw these:
Chevrolet Silverado SS 454
A Chevrolet C6 Corvette Z06 & a 1971 Pontiac GTO with a "The Jury" sticker on the back.
