Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[Razor440]

Busted up Chrysler 300.

Older Toyota Corolla. It's a miracle it didn't rust out as soon as it reached the Michigan border.

Ford Aspire. I've only seen like, three of these IRL and since they made this in South Korea it's considerably an exotic.

A pair of American iron that have seen better days...

Oldsmobile Silhouette.

A less-than-perfect late 80's Chevrolet Caprice.

A super mint Dodge Shadow.

Spoiler: Car week day 3

Few cars like the Sergio and SA Aperta are at a hotel so they still count. Same with most of the hypercars I saw the blue koenigsegg is from Tokyo same with the dark blue Huayra bc. McLarens were visiting Laguna Seca and were arriving as I was about to leave. And the cars where the SCG 003 were at a loading/unloading area. Rest are street spots.

Too much, too much! I wouldn't spot this many cars in a year, let alone a week! Lots of cars which I would never see in my country.

Just wait there’s two more days left for me to post. Plus all the event stuff in the car show thread. These are just street and parking lot stuff. That week basically ruins any car scene for a year.

Lambo at Bologna airport

I'm sure someone has already posted this... but still a first for me.

They appear to be using a Lambo to direct cars, planes etc around Bologna airport.

Not bad for the first car I saw in Italy!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Spoiler: Car week day 4

Finally saw my first wild Virage in a parking garage. Not that many spots because I had more shows that day instead of street spotting including exotics on cannery row which I saw Effspots blue M4 before the show.

Going back to September I think

Caprice PPV

65k mile Miata

Dunno if I've posted this before, but this 85 Supra has only 8400 miles

SL600, owner also has an XK8 with equally as bad wheels

Anniversary edition Trans Am WS6

Z28 Camaro with RS package with 7000 odd mile

40 Ford

An odd Celica, completely mismatched trim, lights, and interior from various years and trim levels, and a (poorly done) custom convertible top

Lady got this as a loaner car while her RX was in.. not a bad trade

MR2 Turbo in its natural habitat

Vanagon

Shame to see what looks to be a well cared for FC here for what looks like relatively minor damage, even if it was automatic

80s Tercel liftback that somehow isn't completely rotted out

Wagovan AWD Civic

Gorgeous 911

Probably the only one to care, but this is the cleanest early 80s Corolla I've seen in a long time, this thing was very nice

Peugeot 405 in rough shape. First time seeing one on the road

930

 

[Liquid]

Jaguar XF
Stare Mesto, Bratislava

This car belongs to the British embassy. Super duper XF. Note the keyhole on the front-right arch.

Spotted this 2002 this morning while walking to school. It's at a Mexican-ran auto body shop, and they rarely get any special cars, so I was surprised to see it there.

 

[Razor440]

"none of those are good spots"
>NONE

I'll admit some of those cars I posted were mundane, but then again I don't see how some of these are truly bad.

He never said they were bad spots, just not good.

All the cars you posted (with the exception of the first) are not very 'good' car spots (i.e. Grand Marquis, the Camaros, Audi S4, etc.). If everyone took pictures of every Grand Marquis and late-model Camaro considering them 'good' spots, this thread would have at least ten more pages with nothing special.

💡 That's the word I'm looking for: Special.

The point of this thread is to post pictures of cars you deem 'special' and things 'you don't see everyday.' Unless an AstroVan is considered special by you, it doesn't really belong here.

I will add that I'm not trying to make you feel bad or chastising you. It is stated in the OP:

• Please, only list cars that are interesting in some way. We don't want to see anything run-of-the-mill listed. In the previous thread, people announced having seen a BMW 328i, or a Nissan 240SX. These sorts of cars are not interesting, unless there is something specific about the car itself that makes it unusual, like seeing a new model on/before launch day, or a particularly good custom job. Cars worth less than $20,000 US when new will struggle to qualify as "interesting".

Just reiterating. 👍

Sorry man, but it's the truth. In this thread there are expectations that we need to live up to, and you haven't met them in that post. The Chevy pickup truck was an okay spot at best, but everything else in there are pretty common cars. And the conversion van and the Grand Marquis? Was that a joke?

Use my photo dump of spots that I posted last week. Notice how all those cars I spotted were either obscure sports cars, or exotics? It took me three months to find all them, not just one trip down the highway. Go out and search for those types of cars if you want something meaningful to post. By calling your post out, I'm not trying to discourage you from car spotting. In fact, you should feel encouraged to go out more and find better spots.

Imagine if every other member posted average cars, like you did. Would anyone even be interested in checking this thread?

Good luck spotting.

Spotting is getting slim because winter but here’s a few spots

I’ll still spot/post cars here but after going to car week it ruined the car scene in Michigan even though there’s some great cars in Detroit when I go there in the summer.

[Tyger]

Don't think I've ever seen a Longchamps other than in a show, great spot 👍

Well, I haven't posted in this thread for a while. So...

BMW e30 3-Series at my school.

A while back, I saw this 1969 Ford Torino 428 CJ for sale.

My first picture of a Cadillac ATS-V on the streets.

A VW Beetle when walking to class.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT at a Hobby Lobby.

These are actually from today, 2 V10 powered BMWs!
