I like the orange one better.

Few pics from this morning.

I also saw a Gallardo coming back from the Astros game but I couldn't manage to get a pic.

whatever Chan Fung Kee is, I want some of it, now! Is that really how far out those rear wheels are supposed to be?!?

hmmm.... probably not entirely thread appropriate, but since it's an edit of an appropriate post, at least it won't piss anybody off by drawing them here unnecessarily...

just pulled the rest of my old early spotting days photos out of Imageshack and into Flickr, late 2011 to early 2012, so most folks here haven't seen any of these spots... (well, except grandpa Cano and uncle Rue...) 396 photos in total, so get your clicking finger ready...

and just for fun (remember I'm a car spotter, 99% of my photos are of cars), my 18/2455 photo... https://flic.kr/p/mjZt4v

BMW i3


US demonstrator vehicle to allow potential customers to test drive the car.

My first i3 in the US as well.

Saw this yesterday.

more help... on the way to work this morning, surprise!

It's a '67 Dodge Coronet

 

[poolhaas]

Some goodies close to home.

 

[Fastcarguy]

GTR in about a foot of snow. (sounded like heaven)

Can someone tell me what the first two cars are?

 

[Clark]

Celica/Supra

Volva P1800

Celica/Supra

Volva P1800

Is the Volvo a good spot?

 

[Clark]

I've never seen one before, I like them but don't know how rare they are.

 

[ildd]

Is the Volvo a good spot?

Yes, I've only seen one in my life and it was at a car show. It's from the 60's so it's automatically good.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

The Volvo is an excellent spot.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Volvo P1800s are always good spots.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

300ZX? And some Nascar-esque vehicle.

That last one might be a stock car, its like NASCAR but its on an actual track, and they do more than just left turns. Like the V8 supercars of America. I saw a lot of those when I was biking in New Hampshire

 

[jeffgoddin]

yum, Z31 1987-1988! And P1800=Amazon, right? Only beautiful Volvo I can think of...

488




some sort of Aston, first of the year! and pan fail...


not just for show, this thing had some get up and go! wonder what he does with it... tires too skinny for drag... drift S10? do people do that?


not sure what this is, Accord? Tastefully done imo.


more popup headlights! And my 2nd recent S12 Silvia, 200SX. Was able to chat with the owner, 280k miles and 15 Cleveland winters and still going! Told him where to find the other I'd seen in case he's considering a parts car/2nd one, and he seemed interested.


wonder what this is... lol


saw this go by earlier, missed the shot, later found where it lives! and a cutie lady owner! 1965.




doesn't quite make up for the earlier pan fail... it's hard when you're driving, you know...


Caprice SS is loud!


what's up with all the kombis for me lately??


help


and thanks for the ID's guys!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The Aston is a Vanquish.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Thanks! That helped me to search a little, so 1st gen Vanquish, and looks like an S! 1/1086 if that's the case, yay! Too bad about my shot, maybe I should've turned around and given chase for a better shot...

 

[Tyger]

And P1800=Amazon, right? Only beautiful Volvo I can think of...

Nope, the Amazon was a 4-door saloon/sedan (plus an estate/station wagon variant) whilst the P1800 was a 2-door coupe (also with a station wagon variant), quite different cars, both really nice

 

[Fastcarguy]

3 prototype P1800's were built on the Amazon frame though. I think of the P1800 estate as a mini Amazon

@jeffgoddin the paint on the Caprice ss makes me think it used to be a police car, so it probably has a modified engine/ exhaust.

Mini? They are pretty much the same length. However (aside from the prototypes) they are not really similar cars, other than mechanically. Having seen both up close, neither are small cars believe me, though perhaps they are by US standards of that time. Not sure if you were correcting me there but all I was saying is that they are significantly different cars

They were huge but the P1800 was "cute" compared to the Amazon

 

[jeffgoddin]

got an ID on my 1st popup headlights coupe... Corolla AE98 GT-S! Sweet! (I'm kinda helpless on a lot of cars still without badges...)

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Saw this just after we got done riding bikes. I would've got a better pic but I had to get my mom home because she fell and was bleeding. Jeep Commando?

 

[Icy J]

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

That isn't a hamman kit right?

 

[Johnny_Clash]

488

1969 Oldsmobile 442 or Cutlass.

help

1970 Chrysler Newport or New Yorker. Looks like the badge behind the front wheel says Newport, but hard to tell.

 

[playnthru]

Yup..Jeepster Commando 👍

70 Chrysler New Yorker judging by body trim.
