Im guessing classic oldsmobiles are very common in the states then and not worth seeing?

They are not common at all, much less that year (1960 I'd think), it's only that no one knows what they are; I, however, apreciate the spot a lot, I love seeing cars in places where they aren't expected to pop up.
Nice muscle cars Joey and Nismo, the Trans Am Rustang is particularly meaN.

From a few weeks ago before my vacation to S.Korea.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6.5
Nissan Fairlady Roadster
I just got back from a week long holiday in S.Korea, what a beautiful and colourful country! I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the cuisine.
Now, talking about cars, there are a fare amount of cars that will gave me sore eyes, but there's a few hidden surprises when I did look. I didn't have a lot of time to spot so there's only a few. But I hope it is a good representation of some of the cool local cars there.
Hyundai and Kia, you're doing great!
Unknown awesome little bike
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X - saw this on my first day, Japanese cars are far and few in between so I couldn't resist.
Renault Samsung SM7 - VIP style
Kia Morning - funky looking little thing
Kia Sorento - Really like the look of these
Hyundai i20 - the Korean Civic?
Hyundai Accent - not sure about this latest update
Kia Forte Hatchback
Kia Forte HYBRID
Kia Forte Koup
Kia Morning - Our rental car for the trip in Jeju Island
Hyundai Genesis Coupe 380 GT (s)
Hyundai Coupe Extreme Rice Edition
And on the last day, a big surprise - Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Ah, another case of a car in a place where it isnt expected to show up, nice Dac. The thing has the ram-air hood but I really doubt it came like that from the factory, judging by everything else
it isnt a Firehawk for sure. Too much yellow, though.
Time for a post from me, its been a while. This little Fiat roadster was spotted near work, cheap tires and all. I had already seen this car in another place but didnt have a camera at the time, and it had disappeared when I went looking for it, so it was a welcome sight to re-catch it.
This customized BMW 3 sat in the same spot for months, just deteriorating. I had already posted a picture of it when I first noticed it and it was bright and shiny, later on I passed by the same place and saw it in this sad shape. Stupid. It has since then disappeared, hopefully to the hands of a caring owner.
MG kit car in a VW chassis putting around work, I just managed to take the camera out in time to grab it.
It might not be anything special, but I snapped this pic when this generation of TT had just been released. Yes, old.
1970 Ford Falcon in pretty good shape, lowered and wearing a set of fake American Racing 200S wheels. Get out of the way, missie!
A 3-series coupe with some cool wheels and a good drop, its all it really takes to get one of these things to look pretty good, actually.
A mexican Monte Carlo SS with fake Cragars. As Ive stated before, the Mexican model is way rarer than its US sibling, it was only offered for one model year and had a 350/Muncie 4 speed/Dana 60 combo instead of the puny drivetrain of the US car, making it a GREAT base for a serious street machine. They are highly sought after here and are becoming real collector cars. Finding them in decent shape is already incredibly difficult. This one lives near work.
Nearby the Monte sat this lifted Chevy truck with some off road stuff but seemingly no front differential, so bleh:
Another 3-series with a low job and some jumbo wheels. Those multispokers seem to be very popular with BMW owners, but some of them like these- look plenty cheap.
Guess? Another BMW! I dont think Ive ever had as many in one post. At least this one is a real M3.
Ah, these. I dont even remember how, but I ended up in a street in one of the most dangerous parts of the city, and found this bunch of Citroens. The guy that had them talked to me a bit, said he had had several along the years and that these are the ones I kept. It was evident that he could barely keep them running (the ones that did), but it was really cool from him to try to maintain these things functioning, given their complex mechanics.
He was working in this one when I found them. His daily driver, he said.
Its engine. When was the last time you saw a DS engine? Probably never, if youre like me. At least not outside a show.
This one was in the worse shape of all of them, but it wasnt thaaat bad and seemed to be fairly complete. Id imagine getting stuff like chrome trim or parts for these must be a pain.
Inside his house was yet ANOTHER one, that seemed to be somewhat stripped. Was it being restored?
I loved this thing to death, Ive always been a station wagon dude and this thing was just right, even all the patina and wear had a special charm, and the pneumatic suspension still worked. The guy told me he uses this one a lot, too.
Turning the corner gave me these two that were in a lot better shape than the others, outside a shop that had other two inside, but I could not get a picture of those.
Lots of rice this time, starting with this Matiz dressed in stupidity. I didnt even know the rice aftermarket made pieces for this car. Dig the wing.
Custom bodywork? Yes please. Just take a look at that front bumper. Wait, what bumper?
The fact that this thing has real carbon fiber panels doesnt detract from its rice factor. Later on it gained a giant carbon fiber wing.

Trans-Ams came with that hood from the factory; GM called it the WS6 package. The Firehawk is a completely different package and was not done by GM, but instead SLP.
EDIT: I just found the article from Motor Trend I remember reading years ago.
1998 Motor Trend Firebird Firehawk Article

There's an SLS that's not more than a fifteen minute walk away from me that's a daily driver. I just saw it now, actually. Silver, I've got a picture on my phone if anyone thinks it's worth posting.

I actually saw a couple of cool cars today. And yes, one of them was in the Home Depot parking lot! (I really did need to go there, honest)
I forget, Boxter?
Nicer, Carrera 4? (at Home Depot)
Sweet! S5, finally an Audi that's not an A4 or A6. Wait, think I saw an A3 recently, too..
And then there was this:
Saw a great classic ute, some other cool old muscle, but no photos...
Edit: think I like my old cameraphone better. Time to get a real camera finally perhaps...
