[Northstar]

I saw a bunch of stuff today, I probably forgot a bunch of them too, but here goes... Sweet 06 blue SSR at the dealer, killer color and some 06 DTSs at the dealer, also a Cobalt SS (non SC) at the dealer. Not at the dealer, I saw a Mitsu Raider, new Eclipse, RL, H3 with some nice mods, 06 Impala, Accord Hybrid, and some stuff I don't remember.

[Sixty8panther]

I saw this Unimog right by my house today, then I checked out the WWW that was listed on the windshield header.... and found this pic on their website. :)

I love Unimogs!

Just for BV, I saw a Fiero. Nothing new, really, I drive by it all the time, the person who drives it works at a day care on a fairly busy road. What was unique this time is that I saw the driver. She's kinda hot.

Everyone's hotter in a FIREo. Its da bomb - KA-BOOM!

[bobo]

A Mercedes G55 AMG. It had big chrome rims, probably 24".

[Satty]

I finally saw an Elise, it was dark green and had the toupee on it, kinda goofy looking. I also drove by the exotic car place very rapidly, it looked like there was an EB110 in the middle of the showroom, I could be wrong, I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

[LosAngeles]

This post is simply to note that Morgan I saw on Sunday.

[Cory Wolfe]

Is it strange that I haven't seen anything noteworthy at all... for like the past few weeks. Not even any Grand Ams... wierd.

[ToniCipriani]

Saw an '06 Civic Sedan on the road. Looks like a bad chop between an Alero and an A6. I'm starting to not like this, as the population seems to ramp up faster than the Cobalt/Pursuit twins.

[Cory Wolfe]

Finally... I some some things that were interesting. A G6 Coupe. Second ever. It was red and parked in a lot. Didn't really get much of a look at it. I could have turned around to look more closely, but I didn't. I also saw a Fiero. Yay... it's been a while.

What the hell do you even check for, is what I wonder....what do you actually notice? You don't see one 50s or 60s or 70s vehicle? No sports cars? Not one top line piece or a Euro something something? Do people drive nothing but Grand Ams, Impalas, Camcords, and F-150s in that town?

Where is Brookville anyway, is that in the dead middle of the state?

Not here to bust your balls or start the next great C&G beef, it's just somethign I've wondered for a long time...

[NOS2006]

saw a new Miata, thought it was an old Miata.

Still no Solstice sighting  :angry:

[post="25402"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

I saw about 5 Solstices last weekend on the street :P

Dude, it's like a small ass town. I doubt there's a bunch of "mainstream" or "sweet" cars out there much.

This thread is dedicated to Brookville. It'll tell you just about everything you need to know...

Anyways, No... I rarely see any 50s, 60s, or 70s vehicles. There is one, a Nova SS, that some kid drives to school, but other than that... Basically nothing but old beat-up pickup trucks. Also, no sports cars. A Mustang is a sight here.. as is a Camaro or Firebird. Vettes are extremely rare. I rarely see any sports cars other than those when I do see one. Also, no top line pieces... Ever. I think the most expensive car I've ever seen here was a BMW 7er... the last generation at that. Very, very few Euro vehicles. Very few Asian vehicles, too.

Basically, most people around here drive Grand Ams, Grand Prixs, Sunfires, Cavaliers, Impalas, Blazers, Silverados, Tahoes, LeSabres, Caravans, or F-150s. That's it, for the most part. As I've said in the past, the only new car dealers here are GM and Chrysler... Meaning Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrsyler. You have to travel roughly 20-40 miles for anything else.

Sly Solstice at the local dealership. A stunner for sure.

2006 Mary Kay DTS.

Yeah. Don't worry, Satty, you should get your Summer Blush Makeover package in 7-10 business days.

You already will. This thing has sex appeal written all over it: B)

[LosAngeles]

First ever 06 Miata two days ago....the fender flares definitely help it out lookswise. Figures I'd spot that on streets out here before I would a Kappa.

[z28luvr01]

Sat in an HHR at the dealership this morning waiting for them to fix the alarm that they so cheesily installed. Anyway, it was a blue LT with grey cloth interior. It had the rear seat folded flat, and it was downright cavernous in there. The inside overall was nice...about as nice as my car. There was also a gorgeous amber bronze Impala LT. That color looks great on the car. Though I didn't care for the tan color on the inside (dark grey or black would have made for a sweet combo with the bronze), it looked and felt very nice in there. The switchgear all felt substantial and high quality. The Impala looks a lot sleeker in person. I take back any comments I may have made about it looking similar to the 500.

[ocnblu]

Agreed, z. The '06 Impala is a goodlooking car, substantial and big looking, yet sporty.

[Teh Ricer Civic!]

i saw a new miata today, it screamed "eh" to me

[CaddyXLR-V]

I was car shopping with my parents a few days ago, and went for a ride in the HHR, Equinox, and Malibu. They were originally going to get a new HHR, but the $5000 markup changed their mind on that. They ended up with a used 2004 Malibu LS V6. I liked the Equinox the most, I love the interior lighting on the dash. The HHR is really tall inside, but narrow. I hate the exhaust tone on the 2.2 in the HHR. I sat in the STS, and if I had the money, I would own it right now. But as for car spottings, I saw a new Maserati. Looks nice, but for the price I would just get a Ferrari instead.

[mightymouse]

I saw a Holden Maloo R8 297 with LS2 6.0 Litre tags. It was really dark purple, had same exhaust tips as a GTO in back, 4whl discs, 245/75/ZR19s. Unlike the other Maloos I've seen around the Tech Center in Warren, this one was LH drive! I've seen many kick ass El Caminos, but looking at this thing made me feel weak and dizzy. Oh yeah, it had a decal on the rear window, that said: " HSV ~ I just want one" no joke.

[z28luvr01]

Yep, that's it! I like that color much better than the standard issue rental-fleet-special beige. It's almost like the dark bronzemist that was offered on the GP and Intrigue back around 2000 or so. GM can come up with some really nice colors when they put their mind to it.

[LosAngeles]

light yellow XR Ford Falcon (meaning about 1966)

[ToniCipriani]

Oil change at the dealer, saw 2 Solstices. Couldn't sit in them because they were sold. Although... One of them the top was down. My only gripe about it, the door panel is HARD PLASTIC, although much better than my Cavalier, but you can still see the edge of the plastic popping out. My friend (who has a Mazda3) pointed it out to me. And surprisingly, the G6 seems to have better materials. Edited October 14, 2005 by ToniCipriani

[LosAngeles]

This weekend's spots: -third-gen Camaro (yeah, whatever.....except for the fact that it loked nice on the 20s it sat on, even though it was primer gray) -Dodge Challenger (yes, the version you care about) -last-gen Riviera with this weird blue two-tone -Aston Martin Vanquish ...figures I would forget the last one.

[Sixty8panther]

Keep forgeting to post this. I saw this Elise at a carshow in Westford Mass. (Kimbal Farms Thursday's Cruise Night) First one I've seen in the USA. I love this car... Someday I'll buy one wiht a blown engine and throw in a Ecotech or if it's possible a 215.

[mustang84]

Late 70s Olds Omega sedan Some mid 70s GM coupe...I'm still trying to figure out what it was because it was too dark for me to see, but it had squarish taillights and a narrow opera window...I'm guessing it was an Oldsmobile. I know it wasn't a Cutlass because the taillights were square and the car seemed a little longer, but I'm almost sure it wasn't a Ford or Chrysler vehicle.

[LosAngeles]

Remebered after I posted....it was a 74ish Chevelle 2-door on 20" wires. And last night, spotted another one that didn't have the full greenhouse, but the rear slit windows instead....weren't those called Malibus to differentiate? Or were those all simply later-cycle models?

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw a new DTS with a vinyl top...

Figures one would throw the vinyl roof on it that quick.

[Robert Hall]

I saw an Envoy XUV tonight....maybe only the second one I've seen outside of a new car show.

[pow]

Another Honda Jazz with black tape covering the Honda logos.

[ToniCipriani]

Intrigue Final 500. Sad chapter for Oldsmobile :( A Crown Vic Police Interceptor doing a bootleg turn and a short burnout at an intersection. V8 POWER BABY! Chevy needs the Caprice! Edited October 19, 2005 by ToniCipriani

[Cory Wolfe]

Forgot to mention that I saw a Prowler yesterday. With its top down, I might add.

[LosAngeles]

-67-72 Chevy C-10, dropped on 20" chromes, but used as a work truck -Mitsubishi Raider on a car transport with a bunch of Eclipses. -Two Northstar Eldorados in a row in the left turn lane, both white. -60 Cadillac hardtop 4-door -54 Ford 2-door -red Viper GTS And I've been seeing new SLKs all month long

[NOS2006]

An IROC dodge car the other day...

[I hope GMRULES again]

Saw a 86 4 door Cavalier in excellent condition yesterday driven by an old man, then last night I saw a 88 4 door Cavalier RS in very good condition. Saw a 1980 Buick Park Avenue for sale in front of the local service station. The owner of the garage bought this car brand new so I guess he's finally decided to sell it. I might check it out tomorrow. Went by the dealer today to pick up some plugs and sat in an Impala, HHR, and H3 for the first time. The H3 looks like a big Jeep Liberty.

[LosAngeles]

And oh yeah, an 06 Civic coupe driven by what looked to be a high school chick. The front end on that car ain't half bad.

[bowtie_dude]

Pulled up next to a Fiero today. Didn't recognize it at first though...it wasn't on fire. ^_^ :lol: *runs away from blackviper!*

[Cory Wolfe]

*BV punches bowtie_dude* *BV then kicks bowtie_dude several times* *BV finally says "f**k you f**king Fiero bashers... stupid f**kers* *BV then apologizes for his language* *BV is proud of his new sig* :lol: :D :P

[ocnblu]

That is a totally awesome sig, Vipes. bowtie, are you ok?

Yes, LA, the smaller quarter window was a later development on A body coupes, from what I bemember. I preferred the bigger quarter glass though. The '76-'77 Cutlass 4-4-2 looks good, with the big triangular glass. I like the '73 Chevelle and Laguna though, I think they got uglier as time went on, until the perfectly-sized '78 Malibu.

Yesterday there was a pristine early 80's Civic (low roof at that time) wagon in our parking lot, silver/red mouse fur. How they've kept it from disintegrating from rust escapes me, but there ya go.

[LosAngeles]

-Mercury Lynx -first-gen Escort wagon

[Enzora]

Yesterday, I saw a new Fusion and new Civic sedan for the first time. The Fusion looked pretty good, but the Civic surprised me. In pictures it looked fairly stupid, but it was much better in person. I also had a fun experience with a Honda Element. As I was walking to class (I live in an off-campus apartment) two guys in an element pulled up and asked if I wanted a ride to campus. Naturally, I said yes. After sitting in one for a few minutes, I can now see why people buy them. It's a really comfortable and spacious car. Though people who buy them for looks still baffle me.

[ToniCipriani]

- Late model FWD Toronado Trofeo, I was at sort of a distance but I can see it's really clean and near mint - A truck carrier full of 300Cs. The truck had a problem and was pulled over to the side of the road on the 401.
