So these were all from random times that I was driving around just happened to see something good over the past month:



Boss 302

Ford Taurus SHO

Jensen Interceptor

Not necessarily good, but rare enough to be interesting, especially in the good consition it was in; Ford Festiva:

Mopar Edition Dodge Charger

Mercury Cougar Pontiac GTO

What I think is a Jeep Wagoneer

The General Lee, apparently having some engine trouble

An old Ford Truck

This old Ford

Yet another old(what I'm guessing is a) Ford

and another one...

What I think is a Bel Air but I'm probably wrong

Belair with drag slicks on the rear

The Belair from earlier sitting next to something I'm again drawing a blank on

Yet another Belair, but this one seems totally stock

A different Charger, and what I'm pretty sure was a Pontiac that I don't remember

Ford Maverick Grabber

Chevelle SS

Another Cehvelle SS

Porsche 911 Turbo

A considerably older 911 Turbo taken on the same road only several days later in unusually similar conditions

Studebaker Avanti

And then there's stuff I've seen on campus at AACC:

A clean looking Crossfire and a Civic Si that stuck out to me for reasons I'm not entirely sure of.
DSC_0440.JPG



Matte Copper Infiniti G37. I couldn't tell for sure, but looking closely it looked like the paint was done with Plastidip.
DSC_0437.JPG
DSC_0438.JPG


Nissan GT-R. Yes that is a handicap tag, and no, judging by the guy's ability to sprint toward the building I'd guess he probably doesn't need it.
DSC_0434.JPG
DSC_0436.JPG


Heavily modified WRX STi. Really cleanly done, too.
DSC_0321.JPG




And some stuff I got while I was at the mall a couple weeks ago
Lotus Exige S, first time seeing one in the wild
DSC_0377.JPG


Something else I'm unsure of
DSC_0371.JPG


Pontiac Fiero
DSC_0366.JPG


And something I've always wanted to see, an XLR V
DSC_0363.JPG


The above photos were all taken from here(red circle for your convenience):
casino-robbery.jpg

Which, given that it's a Casino, has an understandably large number of nice cars coming in and out, and I'll probably start spending time there with my DSLR and high focal length lenses, because all of those were taken with my Xperia Z1S.



And a couple that aren't necessarily cars, but warrant a post here, anyway

VW Trike
DSC_0380.JPG


Really nice looking Harley
DSC_0441.JPG


And a chopper I couldn't really get an ID on
DSC_0387.JPG








And a bunch of Mercs

SL65 AMG Roadster, I heard it and immediately ran over to the window. Almost missed it.
DSC_0407.JPG


G63 AMG
DSC_0171.JPG

Which I saw again some time later getting some groceries, because apparently rich people require food, as well.

DSC_0059.JPG


And last but most certainly not least, an SLR McLaren
DSC_0165.JPG

...which, like the G63, I saw again later that day
DSC_0167.JPG

The sound it made was phenomenal. No amount of videos could possibly convey it.

great post, @Minty especially Jensen! And of course SLR! And I think that one is like a 1964 Chevelle, but I'm terrible at guessing, so...

few random spots today, and one while looking

this is the one I found when I took 15 minutes and checked a spot, nice surprise for me on a Tuesday night!

@Minty. Lovely post

Your "SS Chevelle's" are SS Nova's. Even better imo.👍

Turquoise and white "BelAir" is a 55ish Ford Crown Victoria

That a Pro street 57 BelAir and 1966/7 Chevelle. It's different from the 1956 Pro Street pictured above it.
 
A considerably older 911 Turbo taken on the same road only several days later in unusually similar conditions

That's a Carrera 4S. Turbos didn't have the red light strip going across the car. Still a neat spot though. 👍

See, some part of me felt weird about calling them Chevelles, and with that first one I actually wanted to say Nova, but my mind is currently elsewhere with finals and whatnot.

And I was not aware the Crown Vic ever looked like that, so that's actually really cool to know.

That's a Carrera 4S. Turbos didn't have the red light strip going across the car. Still a neat spot though. 👍

Like with the Nova, I felt weird saying that it was a 911 Turbo, but I couldn't remember what it said on the back and figured it was worth a guess.


Also, whoops, forgot some.

I forgot to post this last week, a SUV I've never seen before. The FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser. It's actually in better condition than it appears in this picture.

Alright, now for spots from today:

On my way to the gas station, I saw this '72 '73 Cuda in the parking lot.

14053082387_9fb7e06f5f_b.jpg


A very clean and well-maintained Lexus SC300. It looks quite nice.
14236369101_937f59595c_b.jpg


A modded Zenki S14 240SX, it looks fine other than the hood (which I'm think the owner left it that way on purpose).
14239378324_c386f60eee_b.jpg


A X100 Jaguar XKR Vert
14236369281_05558b7eef_b.jpg


Pontiac GTO 5.7 Coupe
14053018778_6515217e11_b.jpg


A very well-maintained MG-B.

14239377884_f4c910ee1d_b.jpg


Alright, I don't normally post Porsche Boxsters, but I wanted to share this Boxster S. I just really like how this one looks.
14239663745_0f57f1730e_b.jpg


Opel Insignia OPC I'm sorry, I mean Buick Regal GS.
14239536314_905591150e_b.jpg


F150 SVT Raptor. I never get tired of this truck, never!
14053184439_8870999ed7_b.jpg


It's hard to tell due to my dirty windshield, but this was the cleanest Acura Integra I've ever seen. It looked like it was in showroom condition. That's how clean it was.

lol at the condition of that tint.

Can we trade places? I'm sick of seeing those goofy things.
Indeed, it makes my car windows look clean in comparison.

Also, nah; I kinda like it here. I might be missing the car shows, but at least I see some decent cars in the wild.
 
I'm pretty sure that Mustang is not a kit car. As a matter of fact, it looks more like either a Boss 351 clone or a Mach 1 clone.
 
@Minty

Your yellow car next to the green Charger is an early to mid 1970s Plymouth Duster 340.

@Beeblebrox237

The Mustang is not a kit car, it looks restored especially with those aftermarket graphics.

It's neither a Boss 351 or a Mach 1, it's a standard 1971/72 Fastback.
