Acura NSX 1996
Maybe I should skip the Miata and go straight to the NSX when replacing my Civic.
Aston Martin DBS
First road-registered one I've seen, and it's at some mundane gas station.
Audi R8
For some reason, I couldn't tell what I was looking at, but I knew it was something good. Black on black makes it seem even smaller than it is.
Audi S6 2010
Minor update for the V10-engined mid-size sedan.
Bentley Flying Spur Speed
Another first-in-the-wild for me. New Bentley's of all types are everywhere, but the Speed's...well, they're a bit rarer, thankfully.
BMW Z8 Alpina
I had seen this go by about a half hour earlier and I was sure I'd missed it for good. On the return trip, I saw it parked in what must be a grocery store that hasn't been updated in at least 50 years. It actually looked space-age.
(the store, not the car)
Caterpillar Fifteen
No idea on how old this is, but if the crank up front is anything to go by....
Chevrolet Bel Air 1955
Modified, but not loud. Probably because he was just cruising.
Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 1966
Neat thing found in the back of a gas station. You can find all sorts of things behind gas stations. Wow...that came out wrong....
Dodge Challenger R/T Petty Blue
Between this and the 2010 Mustang's Grabber Blue, are Lemon Twist and Go Mango far behind?
Ford Mustang GT500
Doesn't the Cobra look killer in black-on-black? Oh...you were expecting lighter colors....
Ford Mustang twins
Bought at the same time, just slight differences in trim. I can't wait to see how they dress their kids on Christmas.
Hummer H1
Been a while since I've seen one, but I could do without seeing one again. Monstrosities, they are.
Mercedes-Benz 260SL Automatic
Reminds you that Mercedes was once truly elegant, not just expensive.
Mercedes-Benz Automatic
(See what I mean?) Not sure the model, but seemed about the same year as the 260SL.
Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG 2003
Never understood this model: a 2-door S-class.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class RennTech
Unexpected, but not sure what RennTech brings to the table. If it's like Carlsson, then it's kind of useless, yes?
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG 2004
A better use of AMG's efforts. Not great, but better.
Porsche 924S
Still looking for a 944/924 turbo.
Noble M12 GTO-3R
For those who need their regular dose of Noble. Like me.
Alfa Romeo 8C
I've heaped praise on this car plenty already, but I just can't help but photograph it.

your unknown MB automatic looks like a 220 SE, great spot on the 8C! I could look at that car every day.

I didn't see too much good today, but I did see something extremely bad*. A red Mustang with a semi-bad-fitting body kit, bumper canards,CF hood scoop (99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% chance of being fake), "tricked out" interior (which you could barely see through his gangsta tint), cheesy "carbon fiber" spoiler, the works. A disaster. It looked more like a space ship than a Mustang from the back end with its extremely weird Altezza lights.
And it had a VERY high quality
windshield banner reading Team Unlimited. More like Team Dipweed.
*I saw **** My Ride reruns on the Speed Channel today, so that goes without saying. But that's beside the point.
P.S. I'm going to a GoodGuys rod meet in Puyallup tomorrow - through the 26th if I'm not mistaken - so I will see lots of good then.**
**Pro Stock 63-67 Novas don't count as good. You see so many that it's hard to get excited about them now. Plus, that vintage of Nova, which looks good ordinarily, is just plain ugly dechromed and fitted with Pro Stock aero bodywork. Unfortunately, there will probably be a lot of them there.

Saw this Ford GT. Luckily I had my camera and I was a passenger.
And I saw this Noble M12 GTO in NH.

Been at Oulton Park today for the Formula Palmer Audi event, obviously saw some racing cars but I'm not going to post them all (the rather common Porsche 911 GT3s etc) but the less common ones:
Ferrari F430 Scuderia:
Lotus Esprit (Turbo?):
Maserati Gran Turismo:
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray:
Chevrolet Corvette GT:
Ferrari F430 GTs:
Dodge Viper Competition Coupe:
Obviously ignore the date on the photos, firstly I forgot to alter the date and time on the camera and secondly I only figured out how to turn it off from sticking it on the photos after the event
