      Permanent Car Spotters

      By Robert Hall · Posted

      On my vacation of the last week (9 days, 7 states, 2300 miles) I did see a variety of interesting cars.   I saw a number of ‘tuner’ style Japanese sports cars/etc on the road an in parking lots the last few days in the Outer Banks of NC.  Some slammed, some with cambered wheels, custom paint, giant wings.  Acura NSX, 3 Mitsubishi 3000 GTs—incl a beige Spyder and a black RHD GTO, a couple Evos, a gray R32 Skyline GT-R, lots of Civics.  Must have been some event going on.  When I was in Myrtle Beach last week, I found out had been Mustang Week—-saw a bunch of sweet Mustangs of all eras on the way into town.    Saw a white Ferrari Roma today, first I’d seen.  Saw a minty gold ‘83 RX-7 on I-64 in VA (guessed it was an ‘83 because the plate said ‘FINE 83’.  Also saw a couple nice 90s 993-era 911s in traffic.   Saw a gorgeous white w/ turquoise interior '66 Eldorado convertible rolling top down in Murrell's Inlet SC. I did see a Bronco Outer Banks edition in that sweet green in, of all places, the Outer Banks (Corolla, to be specific).  I also toured a car museum outside Myrtle Beach, 100 cars from a collection, heavy on the Mopars..several late 60s-early 70s Hemi cars.  Some that stood out was a red '69 LeSabre convertible, an unrestored Verduro green '69 Grand Prix, and a turquoise '63 Catalina 2dr SD.  2300 miles of driving over 9 days and 7 states, alas most of the freeway traffic that I saw was pretty boring.    I only saw 2 CT6s--both pre-facelift, one gray, one white.  A few 2nd and 3rd generation CTSes (no Vs, coupes or wagons), a sharp dark blue ATS-V coupe, a light silver blue CT5-V, a couple regular CT5s.   At a rest stop, a mint condition silver early '00s DTS pulled up beside me as I was getting out, older couple...I said 'Sharp Caddy' to the driver, he said the same to me about my CT6.  Talk about stereotypes--I was walking on the beach at Myrtle Beach state park and came back to the lot and there were two C8 Corvettes parked side by side--a black convertible and bright blue coupe--both drivers looked north of 70 w/ white tennis shoes, jorts and polo shirts..they were chatting about their cars..

      Before my vacation, I had created a playlist on Amazon Music with 12 hours of tracks from the 70s to today, mostly 80s New Wave, 80s pop and rock, '90s grunge/alternative...heard of a lot of my favorites..when I was in areas w/ poor cell coverage (no streaming) I listened to Sirius XM 80s and 90s channels or podcasts I had downloaded.  Thinking I may need to subscribe to OnStar data so I can use the car as a wifi access point.

      Back home from my vacation.  9 days, 7 states, 2300 miles.  The CT6 performed flawlessly and proved to be a great road trip car.  Got a lot of rest and relaxation, a lot of beach time.  Enjoyed Myrtle Beach and Charleston, SC, loved the Outer Banks of NC.   First pic is in Rodanthe in the Outer Banks after driving through torrential rain (AWD and traction control helped a lot), second pic is this morning in Maryland.  Saw a lot of interesting places, lots of good food.
