A Subaru 360!
It was only going about 60mph.
I've seen one of them before, it was doing about 80kmph up a hill, almost as slow as caravans

Here we have more from me.
This dodge Van painted like a Dalmatian with real Cragars, it looked really curious and come on, you’d drive something that is painted with black stains.
This little Renault pulled up when we were waiting for the bus, it was pretty well preserved and had those aggressive, drag-like wheels; me likes:
Then we have this cool Malibu that boasts some custom touches like the hoodpins and the “350” scripting, and I really like the wheels, a cheap-ass pseudo muscle car but these are very fun to drive with a small block, and I later saw this car at the local drag strip and the cam sounded pretty aggressive, so it’s pretty hopped up.
Next, this VW transporter wich is good for only sitting there as it’s rusted beyond repair; it’s still where I found it about 4 years ago, rotting.
Severe identity crisis… wtf…
Nice 28 I think Chevrolet 4 door humpback, wide whites and all
Near the Chevv, this 59 Ford Ranchero, extremely rare here as Rancheros were not sold in Mexico, and this one was in pretty good shape too, I tend to think these two were friends who were just cruising together:
A nice 67 Mustang hardtop with side pipes and fale Cragars; needs more tire outback (like 12 inches wide) and a tunnel ram poking trough the hood to complete the “street freak” look.
Check out this table for a small coffee jaunt,it was once a Bug but now you can comfortably sit in it and enjoy some cookies.
56 Ford Fairlane with some custom touches like the Appleton spotlights, the slightly dropped stance in the back and the wide whites with hubcaps, only thing missing are the lakes pipes and some pinstripping to be perfect… and a multicarburated Y-Block; in the background there’s yet another Ford in progress:
1954 Plymouth Belvedere 4 door, very repairable if you can find everything that’s missing… but check out the dog chained to the bumper! It was more scary being there, it growled pretty damn hard.
I think this is a 1940 Chevrolet Buick; dunno, but it was being used for a school spring carnival and looked cute with all the paper flowers; the car is nicely restored tough, and a rare ragtop model.
This thing was THE fun, it’s a train of sorts that takes you on a tour of a local park, but the “loco” was awesome, formed out of what I think was a Nissan pick up sometime, then added those riveted panels you see in the picture… oh, come on, it’so cool!
The spot of a lifetime for me: my now-wife-then-girl and I are waiting to cross the street, she had the Camera hanging from her neck when I see it; I just tell her “the camera, gimme!” she turns around and sees it and tries desperately to give me the camera quickly but the car passes by us; fortunately, it has some big zoom and so, here is the only picture I could take of one of two Murcielago roadsters in the city; it almost crushed my feet when it passed by, it sounds awesome.
I had already posted this 75 Camaro but here is a better view of the rear of the car and the false Cragars; it’s a very local car and I know I have more pictures of it, it’ll keep appearing here.
Riced Golf, sorry.
Then comes this red Thing with a hot wheels sticker and a flat; did you know that VW Things are Mexican?
This is, I think, 1949 Dodge or Plymouth, I’m not sure but it was undergoing restoration; sadly, it remains the same today as when I took this picture about three years ago; another stalled project.
Horribly flamed VW Pointer, check out the BMW e,blem at the front.
1941 Chevy cargo truck, a really big one! And its pretty well restored as well, it’s rare to see something like this around, most of these trucks are severely dilapidated.
A Renault 4 Cargo van, and yet another one of those that’s nothing more but a pile of junk.
By the look of the car, yes, ricers are like that.
A very strange one, surely the first one for everyone to see one (but not the last thanks to me), this thing is a VW Hormiga (Ant), a workhorse developed by VW Mexico for cargo duty; it had the engine under the cabin making it a very hot and loud environment, and they seemed to be made of rust! They simply fall apart in pieces, so I was surprised to see one in such good shape.
And finally, the crowning touch: a riced-out Sunfire, as if the car was not ugly enough:
Enough now, more later (:

I did not have a camera yesterday(as always) so I will provide images from the internet.
1970 Pontiac GTO Sport Coupe(saw it after leaving the dinner yesterday)
1960's Buick Invicta(caught a sight on the fins just in time)
1970 Corvette(it had a huge engine block)
I saw another car but I can't find it. I also saw 2 Hummers today. It seems since that gas prices has dropped in the US to $3.50 that people are willing to drive them now.

Care to explain to me how someone who's 20 owns a Ferrari 430 Spyder, especially in my area where people have a hard enough time getting a job at all? Either it's his dad's or his dad bought it for him, considering the insurance alone on it would cost more then most kid's cars do.

So because your life has worked out quite so well as someone else's and other people you know that are a similar age then they surely couldnt have afford it themselves? They really do need an envy or a jealous smily on here.
Ive met people not that much older than me who have owned and race cars like 700bhp evos,gallardo superleggra,360's/f430's etc that they have paid for by thier own money which they have earned.
Even the guy that owns facebook is 23/24 (?) and hes worth over £1 billion.True it might only be an extremely small number but they do exist.
Hell Miley Cyrus is 5/6 years younger than us and she has earned more money in 2/3 years than you and me combined would in our lives.

The percentage of people in the area that could actually do that is so small (even smaller given his age) that the chances of him driving a car bought by daddy is substantially higher then him buying it himself. Yes, I live in Oakland county which is the 26th wealthiest county in the United States, but anyone that has money owns something American because they work for one of the Big Three...that's the entire industry here. Z06's are big with kids here, whether they buy them or their parents do. There are probably 8 or 9 that I know of in my university's parking lot.
Where would a kid his age get the kind of money to buy a car that costs as much as a 430 Spyder? It's what $220,000? A similar car has been seen at a business around here with a grey haired guy wearing the most ridiculous Hawaiian shirts behind the wheel, but I can not confirm that they are the same vehicle. Given the amount of Ferrari's seen in the area on Michigan plates it seems likely.
I don't think you seem to grasp Michigan's economic state right now though.
Thanks. It appeared to be targa, if it's there tomorrow I'll look closer. The guy that owns that place has a couple older sports cars that puts out front from time to time...although this one was for sale.

I would have to agree, and I absolutely love even the rusted out vans and what not, but the rice definitely belongs in the questionable mods thread.

ooook ok, that's three people that ask about it...come on, the ricers are fun! most of the times they always make me laugh, that's why I post them here; I know about the questionable thread but I like to post them here
Exige, great pictures of the GT3, but Cybog GT's big-block 79 Trans Am takes the show, awesome car!!
The latest alfa more-door is horrid, but cool, haha!
- 5,987
Eh... I love my muscle cars, but the GT3's pretty amazing.
I just saw a Lotus Esprit (no pic though)! It's my favorite spot yet.
Thanks guys! I've been seeing Esprits every now and then, but haven't had a chance to shoot one. I came across the perfect Esprit Turbo HC a couple weeks ago, sooooo ready to photograph but didn't have my camera on me. I still go by every couple of days to see it, but no luck! It was so nice, vintage badassery! It was the Lotus equivalant of that 240Z I shot at the start of the summer, all alone and downright grimy, glorified by the setting sun...

Well, I finally took the time to take a few more pictures of my car and made a thread here:

Funny how you chose to snap the V8V instead of the DB9
He made the right choice! always hit the rarer car...
- 5,987
I was actually trying to shoot the DB9 as a good photograph and the V8V passed, so I took a quick snap of it. The DB9 alone didn't make the cut, just a boring photo, so I posted the only shot of the two of them.
But more astonishing is the fact that the Vanquish I saw was the second in two days... Not only is it just luck, but they're popping up more and more often. For the record, the split between 9 and V8 sightings is right down the middle; leaning towards more V8's if I had to decide.

The Lincoln MKS is an absolutely beautiful car, I really want to see one up-close now.
The MKS is just brilliant. I can't wait to test drive one and the new MKR with the EcoBoost. Lincoln/Ford is really starting to make some good stuff.
I saw a '64/'65 Mustang today but didn't have a camera ready.
The paint looked brand new!
