I generally don't quite like muscle cars, but damn...

These are amazing. Really digging that Challenger picture!
*cough* handicappedparkingspot *cough*

And this Consulier... Amazing spot. They are quite rare if I recall correctly, no?

I might post stuff of my own soon-ish 👍
 
Oh, the Roush? kinda loled over that myself, but you know, persons with disabilities should be able to enjoy themselves as much or more than those without, so I try to hold those lols in check.

Something like 50 or so Consuliers?

And that reminds me, should have prefaced that Hellcat, the third I've spotted but by far the best photo. Required a bit of a chase...

So I'm standing with dispenser in hand at a gas station and see this SRT coming up the road looking pretty tight, and as it passes I notice the badge. First though: I hate not having my camera on and in hand at all times, stupid gas station rules about electronics and stuff, grumble, grumble. In that split second, I also make a snap decision. Tank only half full, I'm pulling the nozzle out, hanging it up, gas cap on, jump in and start, out onto the road and following within 10 seconds of it passing. Some aggressive (but not illegal, at least not point on your license illegal) driving for the next five minutes produces results. I'm four cars behind him in the right hand lane immediately before the freeway. He gets on, as does a car behind him, which means I get to watch him 0-70 off into the distance as I'm stuck behind a slowpoke. And believe me, 0-70 takes no time at all for a Hellcat, incredible! I get out from behind the slowpoke, kick it to [censored] mph, and after a few miles, Hellcat comes into view. I know you can't really tell from the photo, but a Latina hottie lounging in the passenger seat notices me with camera and half-heartedly informs the driver what's going on, that's why he's looking over at me in that photo... my only complaint, really, driver looking forward would be better.

Sharp car, great color, nice action, yes, I'm very happy with that photo, myself!

Edit: actually, going to my Flickr and zooming in, you CAN tell that she's a hottie, and she's actually smiling to him as she's pointing out what's going on, and he's looking over like a badass, actually the details make the shot that much better!

Plot twist - Jeff didn't pay for the gas and is now a wanted man in 4 states.

...I'll see myself out.

And yeah, I am by all means considering the fact that this actually may have been someone disabled in one way or another in that Mustang. It's just that you don't see cars like that driven by handicapped people very often.

Is that an Evoque Sport to the left...? :odd:

And now for my more interesting spots from over the last few months. Yes, this is really what you consider interesting in Poland.

Quoted for length, and some pictures don't seem to work for some reason... They looked fine as I was writing this post.
Opening them in a new tab works for me, though.

BMW M5 e39. In my opinion hands down the best looking sedan car ever made:

Yeah handbombing my own pics is still a thing, but it's been happening far less frequently recently :P that behind though!

Not an S7, but that color is utterly amazing:

Now, maybe not an outstanding car, but I want to ask you guys - has anyone here ever seen and shot a Saab 95 Sportwagon? They are estate versions of 95 and Saab didn't live to start selling them officially. Only 27 were ever made, all as prototypes, and they were all sold on auctions. Making them road-legal was a very long and painful process...

Who am I kidding, this IS stunning...

An endlessly cool youngtimer Mercedes, but I'm not that familiar with their older models. All help with identifying this will be appreciated!

An Exige; the driver didn't floor it, sadly :P Also, notice the black/white Nysa in the background, just behind the Civic:

Finally, a Raptor! As a European, I must point out how big this is. Sweet mother of Jesus, it's gigantic.

Panther Kallista. I'm obviously very knowledgeable about cars and just knew it's a Panther Kallista without reading its badging at all.

Tell me it's ugly or that it's a communist car. But I can't seem to stop liking old Polish rides. They have this... something about them, a weird aura of coolness so to say :D FSO Polonez, my dad had one in ivory color:

Exige, and looks like a Caddy to me from the thumbnail. And, great mix there! I hate it when people (on Flickr for example) only post exotics, like they don't recognize the coolness of some older cars. Honestly I'm more interested to see the FSO than the F12! And awesome spot of the Saab! And, while I don't take photos of A7's, I watch every one go by, don't know what there is about them, but I think they're gorgeous!

I swear that that exige is actually a Elise if I'm not mistaken i don't think they did a exige in that body style. I only remember the Elise.
 
photodump, and breaking some rules... but I'd rather not post in the other thread just for a couple photos, so please excuse... some of these are quite old, just didn't make the Flickr upload list until now
