Doug, congrats on your 1,000th career car sighting. I know that would be a great achievement by any means and grateful that you still continue to do this for GTP. 👍 Rue, nice spot as usual but what is so significant about that Pajero? Am I really missing something.....?

If it's the one in the lead, it's me driving.
It's like UKGTP9 all over again

exigeracer im jealous of your panning skills 
saw somethin odd today, 2 unplated chevys on back of a truck, epica maybe some kind of large saloon, plain white and they both had spotlights on em just above the mirrors i wouldnt really see need for them for the public, new police cars?

If this city is anything like Hong Kong (which I'm sure it is less than) then M5s aren't worth lifting your camera for - they're absolutely everywhere. I stopped a long time ago. Even new M3s are every day occurances and rarely worth the shot.
Never liked Vipers but this was the first I got a shot of one (I did see a coupe, which is apparently rare)
YAAAAWN
Also took some more stuff along the same business as usual of a 4 door GTI. Nothing worth posting in DYSAGT because of the common subject, but also daft photography. Despite my best efforts, the lone sportscar in an empty parking lot looked like a car in a parking lot. Photography fail. Pics are on my Photobucket page if anyone's interested in digging for them...

Even with BBS LMs (or so they seem)? It'd be the spot of the year here.
More old, abandoned cars and a couple of ones that work:
Renault R8, week after this pic was shot it was gone.
This was odd, a 1971 El Dorado with the 500 cube engine (500+ lbft) converted to a pickup, the engine was just huge:
In the same place, a 1967 Pontiac Le Mans ragtop with a one-barrel small block... needs a 455:
Again in the same place, Willys wag:
mid-50s Mercedes near my work:
Behind the stupid GP, 1953-4 Buick:
Now, on with the cars that work,1941 Chevy with 17-inch American Racing 200S imitations:
1967 318 4-speed Barracuda with wheel test:
PRISTINE 1929 Ford Model A Coupe with rumble seat:
Dispointingly blurry Carrera 4, I had this by my side like a whole minute and could not get a decent shot of it:
Then this passes by and for the hell of it I shot and snap a very good picture, needless to say I was pissed off, this should have been the Porsche, not this hulk of thrash:
there goes.

Is it just me, or is that R8 positively dwarfing the CC?
Doug...er...nice Enzo? Dunno what else to say. "Spectacular." Yeah, that works. Anyway, of lesser interest, I'm sure:
Saab 9-3 Viggen convertible
No idea Saab did a Viggen convertible. As expected, it's driven by a baby boomer. With leather elbow patches and a pipe, I'm sure.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
A quick shot for me, as I heard it but could not hear where it was coming from.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante
Another nice find in the parking lot where I work.
BMW M3 Sedan
Had no idea any version of the M3 was out yet. Nice to see, sensibly driven...especially with the toddler seat in the back.
BMW M6
Okay, now that they're finally showing up around me, I'm officially underwhelmed. Bloated, tubby, and too slow for 500HP. Nice boulevardier, but that's it.
Maserati Gran Turismo
Another underwhelmer. Lack of coherency, lack of lightness. Can't blame them for trying, though.
custom hot rod
Wanted to race. Not interested. Could have destroyed it in the STI, but given it was Memorial Sunday...no. Just...no. I'd enjoy this day better without the police.
Dodge Charger R/T 1967
I'm starting to really like muscle cars, if only because of their rarity here. But I guess salted winter roads will do that.
Pontiac GTO HO455
From the House of Blurry Photos, we have one of many that was headed to a GTO gathering up near Brewster. (Lots of American car gatherings that day. Two generic muscle car club meets, one Solstice/Sky meeting at the Red Rooster on NY22, and the GTO meet.) I also have a photo of a large yellow dot that I promise is a Dodge Viper.
Ford F-150 Lightning
Given it's location and the awful modifications, I have major doubts as to this thing's authenticity. But who'd copy the old Lighting? So few even knows about it.
I mean, seriously, those wheels.
Ford Mustang Bullitt 2002
The only Bullitt I've seen on the road, fake or not. Best-looking Mustang of that generation, Cobra R aside.
Ford Mustang Saleen S289 Convertible
Tried to get a better shot, but he backed out and sped away. No big loss, I'm sure.
Honda Civic Si Mugen
Or, we finally tracked down one of the many who've stolen the Mugen parts!
Ferrari 328GTS
Saw this thing from at least a mile back, through traffic. No idea how. Must have been the way-too-short red block hoovering around.
Lamborghini Murcielago
I saw this guy out of the corner of my eye, and the second he came into view, he sped off. I mean, chirped wheels and revved engine. Sped. Like I caught him doing something bad. The red light made the image, though. That and I knew a shortcut to get photo #3...not that I did much of a good job with it.

The lightning is not real, and the Charger looks awesome with the dog dish wheels and white stripe (:
And no, you wouldn't have destroyed the 32 Ford, it would have let you for dead, about 2200 lbs and V8 torque (and who knows what V8), andthose things handle well... not STI well but you would have been very surprised.
Edit: Welll... is your STI modified?

Other people aren't crazy about it, but I love the Mugen.Honda Civic Si Mugen

Not just a coupe - you've managed to spot one of ~800 Viper GTS ACRs. That is an incredible sighting and even considering harry's Murcielago and the recent 612s, that is the spot of the hour! Very cool exigeracer!!!

I love shots from Mexico! Believe it or not this 'mid-50s Mercedes' is actually an S-class if you can believe it! '54-'58 and the first gen. I see them once every blue moon so thanks for the photo, despite the crappy condition!
Mine 2nite:
These were within a block of one another - I wonder if the presence of the other made either one's driver switch his choice for dinner - btw the gray one is F430 #45 for me ... and believe it or not I've seen more Spiders than coupes (by seven!)

Thanks, I snapped it because they are also relatively rare over here, I usually dont shot abandoned mid-60s "fins" Mercedes because they're everywhere, but these aren't that common, thanks for identifying it, I'm not Mercedes expert and had no badges -_-
As for shots of Mexico, you'll get plenty more, one my defunct website's main sections was the one with all the abandoned cars, wich you find even in the best zones ofthe city.
