Was the car I posted before your post a Model A? It looked like it but that was the only pic ok got of it.

well, looks like you were moving pretty fast for the Viper shot with one of those cameras that works from the top down, and I'm guessing from the rural look that seeing a Viper out there is about as common as seeing an alien.

Yup, I used an android for the pictures and then cropped them with pixlr.
Although, I wasn't exactly in an rural area, but yes; seeing a viper out here is about as common as seeing an alien.

Ironically I've seen a Viper at a rural church. 15 cars in the parking lot.

Spots from yesterday but I didn't post them because I was at my house for like 3 minutes. So I guess they don't count but I mean I don't even care.

@Slash 1969 Mustang Coupe. Almost certain it's the same one I've seen at car shows.

BMW M5 (right next to a Jaguar XJL 5.0)

BRZ

Impala SS with decent rims (dat full lock tho)

Z06

1960ish Chevy truck

A few oddballs that aren't really "good" but nonetheless interesting.

camaro that needs work

Camry wagon. Never knew these existed.

80's Ram in decent condition.

It would look better on some Daytons imo but nevertheless a great car. 👍

When you live a mile from a major GT-R tuning company, they're never a rare sight.

Well....k den

ildd · Jun 4, 2014

I understand that it's a GTR, but really, there's no reason to post 10 pictures of it. If you have flickr or something, post one and keep the rest in there.

jeffgoddin · Jun 5, 2014

nothing fancy, but some unexpected rainy day spots running errands locally today

ID?

unsure chevy sedan 1970s gassing it in the rain by spotterjeff, on Flickr

decided a little late to try for a photo of this one, jeeps normally don't interest me unless Willys, but this looks old... any thoughts?

unsure old jeep in passing by spotterjeff, on Flickr

and I just think it's cool when old trucks are still used for work. year/model?

unsure ford truck flatbed chocked by spotterjeff, on Flickr

this on the other hand genuinely surprised me in a happy way. yes, I like 1980's-90's Japanese sports cars. but I still haven't seen many W20's, and never in the rain, and this one looked mint.

toyota mr2 w20 in the rain by spotterjeff, on Flickr

and a very nice looking Fiero just around the corner from the MR2 and Ford and Jeep, all four on the same errand on back streets very close to home. The Chevy was less than a half mile from home, and I don't think I've seen it before.

Went to my friend's shop and he tossed me the keys to his turbo NB Miata/MX-5. My other friend tossed his camera on the back window and I went for a drive. The video is nothing super exciting, but damn it's a riot to drive! I want one.

The car makes something like 210-220whp at the 8psi boost setting I was driving it on.

Eunos_Cosmo · Jun 5, 2014

I saw it too.

Here are some pictures

Also had this lurking in the shop...

Built LQ9 with twins. Here is the dyno sheet:

If you can't read it, it mad 1015whp at the high boost setting.

Team THRT Drift · Jun 5, 2014

Being the driver means you miss a lot of great spots. After missing an authentic 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, a 1968 Mustang Convertible, and a 1965 Mustang Coupe, I was prettty pissed.

Then I saw this. 1933 Hot Rod. Based off of a Ford of some sort. Had a 347 c.i. Shaker motor. Very clean and well done Hot Rod
