So Lancia Fulvia (thanks Marco)

Then she probably should have tried the local pet shop. That 328 GTS you posted is gorgeous!

Couple of motors taken through the window of a bus.

New CLS. What do you think? I much prefer the outgoing one.

A Nissan Frontier. Surprised you think it's worthy of posting, they're incredibly common in this country.

Well obviously as I didnt know what it was I wouldn't know if it was worthy of posting on this forum! I do wish people would read!! And it may be common where you are but not necessarily here! Where are you in the world anyway?
 
England.

If i wound down my window and spat at every Nissan Frontier i passed on my short journey to work every day. I'd be severely dehydrated by the time i got to my desk.

Spot of the year though goes to this,

Auto Union DKW F89

Holly crap, dude!!!! Do you have any idea of how DISGUSTINGLY RARE that thing is in this side of the world? And absolutely pristine too. AMAZING, EPIC spot. It's like someone saw a Whippet in Germany. Amazing yet again bud.
 
Saw a Nissan GTR this morning, Ferrari 348 on the way home and a Rolls Royce Phantom came rolling down the street when I was out front with my dog.

The Phantom though, it was.. poo brown. No other word for this color. It looked like my dog's food after it's been partially digested and brought up on the driveway. I really hope it's not a new addition to the neighborhood, because it was just depressing.

Just again to remind people this is the way to do it:

Sunday week I went on a motorcycle drive and saw this Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in a block where you strike lucky regularly car hunting:

a few days later shopping on foot this Citroen 2CV made me smile:

Story + picture or just enjoy looking
I also see a lot I can not post under these rules, I´m lucky to have so much that I can miss an opportunity, even several.
 
Great spot with the DKW 👍

Must be incredibly rare in the US. The only one i've ever seen in Europe was on the race track.

I think it's a DKW 3=6/F91 rather than the earlier F89.

Ah, thanks. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for other then an Auto Union. I was amazed when I saw it, at a home improvment store of all places.

I figured it had to be rare here. I almost ran across the parking lot to make sure I made it incase they were about to leave. I think I walked around it about 15 times within a half hour just to get a good look, since I'll probably never see it again.
 
I'm seriously wondering what in god's name is so hard about grasping the concept you need to post a picture with your spots? It isn't a hard rule to follow and almost every mobile phone now has a camera on it, and if not almost everyone has a digital camera in this day and age.

I can tolerate the "meh" spots as long as there is a picture attached to them.

Anyway....

The ever rare and bizarre GMC Envoy XUV. I don't know how many were produced but I hardly ever see one on the road, and outside of this one I couldn't recall the last time I had seen one.

The Fiat 500 NISM0 spotted, I don't believe it's an Abarth, but I'm not sure.

A 300ZX that hadn't been modded, that's almost unheard of around here.

The 2011 JCW MINI Cooper S with the new Chilli Red/Midnight Black combo. Looks fairly ace.

I don't know, I'll wait for Cano :lol:

Well im sorry but Im fed up with silly comments that seem tantamount to baiting!

The title of the thread is "Did you see anything good today" NOT "Did you see any pickup truck with a massive nissan badge that you couldn't figure out what it was today." This could be for many reasons, it could be because nissans are as common as dirt and the frontier is their only pickup, or it could be simply because noone would open a thread with a name that long. I'm not sure, but I do know that I can't remember the last time you posted something "good."

As a separate note: I have like 10 photos for viewing pleasure, but need to buy a cable to connect to the computer :(
 
Not epic, but nice! From the side bright red brakes added to my wow moment.

Okay, just checked VW website and this is actually totally stock, thought maybe the wheels were a sign of a fancy trim package at least...

MN must have been one of the few locations those things actually sold as I've seen quite a few around here. Didn't know they were that rare, but I can see why people wouldn't want one.:lol:

The concept behind them was cool enough it was just poorly executed. I was always curious to see how one worked but not even my GM family friends had one for me to play around with.

The concept was cool? I disagree, I really can't see the need for having a little extra vertical room in the back 22 inches of trunkspace. Whoever did the convincing that something like that was apparently desired didn't pass the message on to marketing. The ad campaign was for going antiquing and buying an armoire. Really?
 
So what makes a GMC Envoy "good", Joey?

I explained it. It's a bizarre vehicle that is also pretty rare. It was an interesting concept that never sold all that well. It's not a good car, but it is interesting and something you don't see everyday. And at least I provided a picture.
 
Then what if I told you that in my opinion, the Envoy, despite how rare it is, isn't a "good" car? Would your answer clash with what you said previously in the other thread??
