Missed a C7, what may have been a turbo 911, and a Ferrari 360 spyder (pretty sure it was a 360), but I got something better.

1947 Ford Hot rod. The owner pulled into the bank we were at. I rolled the window down, and told him I liked his car, and asked him to tell me what he'd done to it.

Cammed 239, with a bunch of edelbrock parts (can't remember exactly which ones he said), dynatech exhaust with electric cutouts, and some interior work. He hit the cutouts for me and let it idle (was awesome), we talked a bit, and then I asked him if I could take a picture, he said sure.

I saw the 360 pull up... driver got out and rolled away in a wheelchair! Valet thought about moving it, but after a few attempts they gave up... guess it was modified for the driver. Oh yeah, then a Maserati drove by, so...

I think your last one could be a Lincoln Continental.

Missed a C7, which I'm seeing almost daily now, so I don't think they're portable for me anymore, but I got an XLR, and this Ferd for @Slash.

Well, my internet was sort-of turned off for a few days, so... (sort of = AT&T Uverse blocked me from all websites except google sites, Youtube, and Flickr, oddly, and blocked all websites for my roommates...)

And yes, love those old Cosmos! I knew I'd seen that body shape before, but couldn't remember what it was.

I live in a neighborhood with lots of body shops and classic cars...

while waiting for my smog check (evidently even a car from 1985 needs one in CA...) THIS drove past! Yes, I dodged traffic and jumped into the median for this shot! :lol:

my first SS! And as I pulled up alongside at the next red light I couldn't help but to gesture and point to let the guys inside it know how excited I was. The driver rewarded me by holding the brakes and giving it some gas, smoking the tires in the process, very cool! And he was glad I knew what he had, holled down the window and chatted for a moment, he said I made his day!:)
