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

[samj_13]

Are those rare in the US? Really?

wow, you guys see Ferraris, Lambos and whatnot all day, and 206's and Smart's are rare.
Just the opposite here.

They're not officially sold here yet, but they will be soon by *gulp* Chrysler...That being said, I did see one in Boston once. Parallel parked with the nose facing the curb and all There were at least 4 people with camera phones taking pictures.

Rue do you find that you are jaded?

I really do enjoy just getting out of the house/office and obviously the fact that there are a lot of nice cars here is a bonus. Not knowing what I may or may not see is very compelling. I do find cropping and uploading the photos very tedious! I wish there was an easy way to do this. Any ideas?

Nice RS4. I love the 'Tegra photo, stunning. 👍

That photo is just stunning.

Second best photo in the thread (after yellow Carrera GT ).

Thanks guys. Comments like these make my hobby so much more worthwhile!

Well, I saw something good today...

Welcome to the DYSAGT thread! Cool spot. Doubt I will ever see a Viper on the road. I'd love to though. A nice blue GTS with the white stripes please...

I had a pretty good afternoon of car-spotting yesterday. Will post pics later...

I would say Smarts are fairly rare in the US. But with that said, I have seen at least three of them. Two of them were on campus, one in silver and the other in a maroonish color. The third one was on sale at a dealer and I usually noticed it most every day on my drive home from work in the summer.

 

[Prosthetic]

I've seen one Smart, it was red. And very small xD. If I recall it was behind a Suburban, so it kind of shrunk in size.
Oh and 206's where never sold in the US :S

AND I saw a GMC Cyclone today, my first ever that I know of. Pity to, because it looked awesome 👍

Smarts are becoming more and more common - every couple of days.

Ha! Snap and double snap! I've never seen a Speedster or a 360 in white and I see both on the same day as you!

More to come...

Nice photo 👍 And cool plates on the Speedster.

 

[under18carbon]

Rue, I think the 360 that Doug posted is silver in colour and not white...?

Great shots of the Speedster to the both of you! Great looking car.

 

[Rue]

OK, so apparantly I only just discovered Photobucket. This makes things a whole lot easier for uploading.

All these photos taken yesterday afternoon and a few this afternoon. Used up one battery on the camera.

[Rue]

I've seen two. It's horrible in the extreme.

 

[MazdaZXi]

What's this...?

It's a Jensen Healey. One of 10,000, and probably fairly rare if the rust stories on Wikipedia are to be believed...

 

[buickgnx88]

Is this a Willy's?

The front end looks like a Willy's, but the rest of the body looks like a custom job.

Edit: looking closely, it almost looks like it has a coffee can muffler!

I too am aware of this blatant information. What exactly is the point you're failing to make?

Awesome post overall. And taht 1 series is amazing in black. I thought you said tint was illegal?

Oh and would the chopper have anything to do with that sunken Ukrainian boat?

 

[ExigeEvan]

Ukraine... Hong Kong? That's quite a distance you know.

 

[exigeracer]

Has anyone seen and RS6 Plus yet?

yep seen one a while ago sprint blue with gunmetal wheels want one badly!

 

[exigeracer]

Pretty sure that was the only colour and wheel available. I saw a regular one today but couldn't snap a shot. Did catch these though:

This thing was louder than the GT and had a young blonde driving it

Not something I'd normally photograph, but hey, why not.

 

[bondy_1625]

Danachronism, your white balance it seriously messed up in those ferrari shots!

Nice spot on the GT, dont believe we've had many of those in this thread for some time...

 

[Rue]

Nice RS2, Dan! That's the same car in those two photos though, right?

 

[Joey D]

Chevy C4500 Kodiak, probably the biggest pick up I have ever seen. In hindsight I should have parked my car next to it and got a photo.

This was an odd coloured XLR, it said "Platinum Edition" on the back so I assumed it was something special.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage, they aren't really common around here.

 

[1X83Z]

Do you have the full size of that pic? That looks great! 👍

Look at all the road salt

I also like the fact that there's two black Jeep Commanders right in the same general spot!
