Forgot to add my spot, however you'll just have to take my word for it.
An 09' or 10' Cadillac CTS in white, and even better, in school grounds. However it's a shame I couldn't take a photo of it since teachers were around. Looks absolutely stunning in white. 👍
(Looked just like this one)

I couldn't. It was too strange. Actually, I did. I'll have mine with the Pinto engine....
I posted one a few weeks ago. If it came out last year (and was significantly cheaper), Pontiac might still be around now. Releasing it days before closing its doors, however....
NOOOOOOO WAAAAAYYY!!!!!
Thanks.
I hope it's real, unlike the Countach I spotted a year ago. Then again, who mocks up a Jalpa? I really should have taken more pictures, but, like so many other of my spots, I see them on the road to somewhere else and often don't have the luxury of stopping for a few minutes for photos. When I can, though, I definitely will. Sharing is caring!Look for my 'white' series below. For some reason, there were quite a few rarities in white, all within 48 hours.
Ford Model A 1930
I posted this before, perhaps a month ago, but it's nice to see it gets around a bit.
Chrysler 300 1967
The first of my white series. Not sure of the trim, but it was long, low, and in need of a little care. I bet it's a daily driver.
Scion xB 'harlequin'
My instincts tell me this is just a home-built generic Scion, but I just figured I'd ask: was there some special edition of the xB that gave it this awful paint scheme?
Audi RS4
Not incredibly special compared to some other things that are posted here, but I had yet to see it in Nogaro Blue. I had seen so many S4's in Nogaro that I assumed this was just an S4 as well. Also, I posted it because I really like Audi.
Cadillac CTS Sportback
Obviously not an on-road spot, as it's still got the sticker in the window, but since I rarely post in the Event & Showroom thread, I hope it's okay here. For some reason, it looks much better than when I saw it at NYIAS.
Cadillac XLR 2010
I dig the exhaust, as it's a much better fit for the rest of the origami/stealth fighter-inspired design. All it needs is a -V.
Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG
When I took this photo, I realized that the CL must be the least-popular model of all of Mercedes' cars. It's got the interior space of the CLK-Class, but the footprint of the S-Class; it's a bit challenging to look at; and it's so god-awful expensive. Add to that it's got 'AMG' on the back, and CL65 must rival the SL65 Black for lowest production.
Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate
Part of my white series. Without the M5 Estate and RS6 Avant stateside (and the Magnum SRT-8 discontinued) Mercedes has the uber-wagen thing all to itself.
Ferrari 575
Caught waiting at a traffic light, the predecessor to the 599.
Ferrari 599
Caught not waiting at a traffic light, the successor to the 575.
Nissan 370Z Nismo
Another in my white series. I saw this peeking above that stone wall, just barely visible on the road on the other side of that wall. The first 370Z I've actually been able to get a good look at, and it's a Nismo.
Pontiac Solstice Coupe
The last in my white series. This guy was flying up the Taconic Parkway, and I don't really blame him. It's a fantastic road. The convertible may not really be up to it, but perhaps the coupe is. It looks like dealer plates, so while it's an on-the-road spot, it's not road-registered. Oh, and my girlfriend took the last photo. She wanted to join in the fun. She's so cute!

Right, here are some cars RUE and I saw yesterday at a parking lot in a ridiculously wealthy area of Hong Kong.
I've also uploaded some photos and videos of the Auto Mall on the DYSAGT Events & Showroom spin-off thread, do go and check it out.
I'll try to borrow my sister's digicam more so I can take videos on roads etc.
Big
Newer and equally big
Wrong footware...
AR Sportwagon
Aristo with huge brakes
White 430 Scuderia
Mercedes CLK AMG Black, in Black
And for all NSX lovers
And Porsche lovers
This sort of thing happens so often here I'm beginning to take them for granted...

I seen this beauty last month, some of you are probably thinking " ive seen those out a few times" well to see one in Alabama, US that is just nuts! I pulled up at wal-mart to get a few things and what do i see as i step out of my car but a freaking Skyline, and it was legit too, right hand drive and all wheel drive. The tag reads, godzilla, cute.

I haven't even seen one. 
In fact, I haven't seen any generation. The closest thing is a R35 (Not a Skyline.)

If someone told me they saw a Skyline in Alabama I would imagine it with a really exaggerated raised up suspension, mudding tires, and some mud for decor.
Something like this
Great spot, though! The only Skyline I've seen in the US was an R33. And I hate how the R33s look.
R32/R34 FTW

It is very exciting to see a Skyline that was not originally imported to the United States isn't it? I spotted a R32 not too long ago and was absolutely thrilled to see a Skyline on American soil. Posted the two or three pictures I took of the car in this thread. Very cool! 👍
OMG
The lack of the Mercedes star on the front grill makes the car look a bit odd. Otherwise, very cool spot!

Long-overdue post because Id been busy as heck. But now, lets start with an array of rare cars. First, a concours-ready MG TF I think, absolutely no idea of year but it IS a real MG and not a VW-powered kit car, it is clearly evident, that and the fact tat the thing was absolutely pristine. Impressive.
Yeah, the Mercedes is incredibly mint too, check out those whitewalls, but what is behind it is incredibly cool and incredibly rare for Mexico!!! 1957 Chevy Nomad, I know this car, it appeared in the magazine I work for, its got a 327/4-speed combo out of a 60s Corvette and a nice street rod vibe with Cragar wheels, I think it also had 4-wheel discs too. Awesome ride. Nomads were indeed sold here, but only a fistful country-wide, as they were the most expensive model in the line. Finding one today is like a needle in the haystack.
1968 Vette with luggage rack and t-tops, Rally wheels too, in such a cool color. I wish I was closer so the pics were better. All four previous rides were in the surrounding area of the largest classic car show in the country, so that explains why all the awesome machinery almost together (come on, you did notice it was the same road):
Nearby., this GMC three-ton flatbed was just watching all the concours cars pass by, but I thought it was cool enough to snap it too. Hey, its in pretty decent shape.
Can anyone tell me what the heck is this? Its a car I had never seen before. Im guessing mir-80s Accord, but I dunno.
A mere Cherokee SRT8 is still a spot here, greatest parts car ever produced. Yank the engine, suspension bits, brakes and even wheels and slap them in a 70 Dart or 72 Mexico-spec Super Bee, and blamo, an awesome daily-driver street machine.
Cute little Fiat ragtop in decent shape, it could use some tlc to be pretty much perfect, and it is a very rare car to see around here. I like the black on black on black.
Aaaah YES, mid-80s Datsun Wagon, a bit lowered, stock wheels, questionable color but what the heck, it looked nice and, come on, when was the last time you saw one that wasnt half rust? Neat.
At first, I thought this was a Mexico-only Chevy Nova Rallye, because of the wheels, grille and other tidbits, but nah, it was just a normal V8 Nova with Rallye stuff bolted in. It lacked the hardcore 12-bolt rearend and ther stuff to be a real Rallye. Cool though.
Another deceiving car, this 1971 Chevelle had a very muscular look to it with the lowered stance, fat meats and slot mags, but it was just a 6-cylinder wheezer. Loads of potential, though, Im all for a big-block/6-speed/12-bolt swap on this.
I had already posted some lousy pictures of these two cars, they have been there for at least 5 years, but I suspect its been way more. First is a 65 Thundervird in incredibly good shape for being just sitting there, the vinyl top is good, the chrome is nice and all there, and the interior is just as complete, it has loads of potential:
The same cannot be said for this very very VERY rare little DKW that was rusted beyond belief, all covered in murky yellow paint. The only one I have seen and probably Ill ever see, it has a complete interior and even the original wheelcovers, but its so violently rusted it may be beyond salvation.
Cute T2 Bus with two-tone paint, white bumpers (it actually pulls that one off pretty well) and whide whites. It needs curtains inside, but no ones complaining.
Really well restored base-model Mustang, maybe a 1972. Its horrid, look at those wheelcovers. Grandpas car for sure.
Another grandpa car, but way cooler than the Mustang, even bein a 4-door, this gargantuan and very well kept Impala with wide-whites; maybe it seems cooler than the Mustang because the Mustang can actually be a good looking, aggressive car but in grandpa livery it is horrid, and a 4-door Impala like this one looks right at home. And now that I see it, its not even a Impala
OK people, double treat: This is a Mexico-only VW Hormiga (ant), one of less than 400 made, and really scarce right now. This is the only place where you will see live-pictures of Hormigas, so weep at this thing turned into a taco-dispenser (Hormiga Taquera = Taco Ant) and then shamelessly abandoned. Its sad, it s apiece of VW Mexico.
1966 Ford Galaxie hardtop in decent shape, a little rough but itll all buff right out. Ready for a 427 transplant and a 4-speed.
1975 Firebird Formula, complete with hoodscoops, horrid crash nose and what I think are Oldsmobile wheels. Indecently rare car here and very sought after, this one seemed to be full of potential, but I did not get closer because I was in a part of the city I do not know and I didnt want to chance it, but it sure was an interesting car.
This one was awesomely weird, its a Galaxie ambulance, and for sale!!! And it IS an ambulance for real, its got a stretcher (I know its not that, but I could not find a better translation for it, the thing where you lay the patients in ambulances) and the lights all work, its awesome!!! If it wasnt so incredibly unpractical, Id ask how much.
This next car is one of the spots of my entire life, and may be the most awesome European car Ive ever spotted, and maybe Ill ever. When I saw this Alpine I almost fainted.O talked to the owner, its a race car registered for the street (it actually races in the Vintage category, where it eats Porsches and Alfas), its got a 2+ liter engine with two Webers that makes 200+ hp, coilover suspension, gutted interior, 5-speed box, full cage, the works, and the guy runs the race tires on the street EVERY FREAKING DAY. Heck, he takes out the passenger seat and carries paper boxes for his business. I loved this car to death. And of course, Ill be shooting it for the magazine in the short future, so keep an eye on it. He also has a built, 300-horse Renault 5 Turbo and is just finishing a sick BRE Datsun tribute with the only 510 two-door Ive seen in Mexico.
I assume this also belongs to the Alpine owner, its always in front of his printing business.
Now, the rice!!! Check out well, everything in this poor duster that has had Super Bee hoodscoops fitted and well, the paint, the graphics, the wheels, the scoops and it not bein a Super Bee its horrid.
As if having a Fiat was not enough
Crossbreed a Ka with an SRT4 and this is what you get, install the ugliest wheels ever and youre set.

Actually they're just mid 80's Camaro Z/28 wheels.
