The Latest Fall Fashions

[Lamar]

For the past two days I've seen a Lamborghini Gallardo (Superleggera? couldn't tell) parked in the main lot of my school.

Also, saw the new Audi A4 on my way home tonight. Looks like the XF from behind with the lights on... I couldn't tell it was an Audi until I passed it and saw the LED headlights. Nice, though.

[LosAngeles]

Another Ford Falcon, about a 63 2-dr sedan.

And in another smh moment, that same Travelall has been apparently SPRAY-painted royal blue. Overspray all over the grille. Tragic.

From the "You can't make this sh*t up!" file:

That's a mid-90s Seville, with a complete bedroom ensemble attached to its roof. Yep - a night table, dresser, and a desk were all there. So was the mattress and boxspring. The trunk (as you can see) and the back seat of the car were filled to the top with junk. The body was just about resting on the wheels. Such a shame - I still like those cars.

BUILT CADILLAC TOUGH!

I can tell fall is here---the convertibles have their tops down, incl. a bright red '80s Avanti. Saw 5 convertibles with the tops down tonight coming home from work, the arrival of cooler weather (highs around 100 or less) is bringing them out. Another sign of fall is the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks...enjoyed one this morning from the Starbucks in City Hall..

[LosAngeles]

50s Rambler. A compact from when America didn't care for compacts.

What I believe to be a 53 or 54 Chevy.

Yet another Falcon....seems enough were bought back then (just like Darts) for thousands to still be on the road.

A Saleen Explorer. I don't think I've ever seen one. And two of those new Saturn hatchbacks, both black 4 doors. Also, a black '68 Torino coupe with gold GT stripes, but no other GT markings. It was NOT a fastback, but a notchback coupe. I don't know that much about Fords of that era, I am thinking it must have been a clone of some sort. Was there a Torino GT notchback in '68?

Saw my very first G8 today, a black GT.

[Sixty8panther]

HarleyE:

Ifor one, am not that impressed with the new RR, or any RR of the past 4 or5 decades.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a couple silver Porsches this morning when out running errands--a Cayman S and a late model glass-top 911 Targa. Saw a clean off-white '65 Mustang, a rusty, well worn '70s Nova Concours sedan (lt green), and a black G8 GT...

[ocnblu]

Gray G8 GT with vanity plates out of Maryland: "G-WHIZ".

Yes, there was a Torino GT notchback coupe in '68 and '69...rather rare, I think. Mercury also had a Cyclone notchback coupe in '68.

[LosAngeles]

Suicide door Continental FOR SALE!!

If only I had the cash for a good date car.

[Lamar]

The '01 Bonneville that I wanted is still for sale at the same place... for about $1,400 less. And my wife now says it's ok if I want to get it.

Only things I'll have to do/have done to it is get the passenger front window motor fixed and put a CD player in.

[LosAngeles]

First brand new Pilot on the streets. I think it looks better than the old one.

[gm4life]

Saw one of my first Lincoln MKZ's on my street today it was is a nice looking car, wish it was an MKS tho. Also saw a super clean Chevy Bel Air sedan.

[ocnblu]

Went lot hopping today. All-GM car show at a nearby Chevy dealer... lots of SWEET old GM vehicles to gawk at. Two '80 Chevy A-bodies (Malibu Classic and Elkie) with the sportier, horizontal bar '81 grille installed in both. Listened to a '25 Chevy at idle... a mechanical sweetheart. Saw a new black Cobalt 1LT there, in black with the chrome package, a nice upgrade. Two '09 Focus coupes, at 2 different dealers, they've done a good job with a minor restyle, and the car is value-packed for the price, more features for less money than a Cobalt on the versions I looked at. '09 Mustang GT in Vapor Silver with Glass Roof The Patriot's new interior is much nicer than before, you won't cut your fingers on the dash anymore. And a SPUNKY '09 Fit Sport in light blue... with the usual "SOLD" tag on the dashboard, at "my" local dealership.

[Oracle of Delphi]

On the German Autobahn today, two cars racing at about 120 MPH (estimated since I was going about 100), a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda and a Ford Mustang GT 500. Both cars were sporting GG tags which means they were from somewhere around Rüsselsheim, Deutschland, or in the surrounding Groß-Gerau (district).

'09 Mustang GT in Vapor Silver with Glass Roof

Cool..didn't realize the glass roof was out yet.. by the way, are the car dealers closed on Sundays in PA? That was one of the things I liked in CO, the ability to wander around the lots without being bugged by salesmen. Not like that in AZ..open 7 days.

[ocnblu]

Sunday is my day to lot-hop because yes, they are all closed.

[Satty]

Plymouth GTX, I totally smoked it off the line.

I've seen one glass roof Mustang, it was yellow, and I liked it a lot.

Sorry, "Grabber Orange" looks like yellow in the dark.

Saw a black Cayman this evening..2nd Cayman I've seen in 2 days.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a black Challenger SRT8 in traffic this morning--goregous--with a license plate reading 'NOT2GRN' and an Obama 08 sticker on the bumper. Woo hoo!!! Supreme coolness.

Saw a yellow w/ white top 'Banana Boat' '78/79 Caddy Coupe de Ville lowrider this morning and this evening...very clean shape.

Saw a silver '72 Impala Custom Coupe w/ a white hood sitting at a gas station, looked solid.

Pristine 1966 Mustang

Some sort of 60's Dodge 4-door hardtop.

[Robert Hall]

Also saw a sharp red '80s BMW 635Csi and a white current style M6, with huge (22 inch or so) chrome blingtard wheels.

[Robert Hall]

Since I work downtown right by city government, county government, and state government offices, I see a variety of official vehicles..saw several city Fire Department cars today--ranging from a '90s Lumina to current Impalas and an Intrepid w/ chrome wheels, all bright red. The city vehicles range from Impalas, Crown Vics, Colorados, Silverados, F150s, to a fleet of Priuses (!). On the street beside City Hall, there is a '95-97 Crown Vic police car that seems to be in the same spot everyday..odd to see such an old car still in service.

[§carlet §wordfish]

Royal blue '65 Pontiac Star Chief 4-door hardtop. My neighbor just bought it for $1000. Got a few detached pieces of trim, but it runs well and won't take too much to clean up.

Spotless dark blue A-Century

White Sterling Bullet

[Satty]

I saw an Edsel today! I thought I was hallucinating at first, seeing a vagina coming towards me, but as it got closer, I realized what it was.

[ocnblu]

An exceptionally cool Cummins Ram with tool boxes on the bedsides and a Nobama bumper sticker. Not sure why, but it just struck me as uber, uber nifty for some reason.

[Z-06]

Exceptional Red Chevy Nova modded with a 427.

[LosAngeles]

Yesterday morning's commute yielded a 67-68 Bel Air 4 dr.

Another '55 this morning.

[Robert Hall]

Saw two vintage Cadillac 2dr hts, no vinyl tops (Calais?)...a sharp black '69-70 and a lowered, primered '71-72...so big..they really stand out amidst the usual traffic of Priuses, Camrys, SUVs, and other generica...

[Robert Hall]

Another sighting today was a Crown Vic in the city parking garage with 'Hydrogen powered' logos on the doors.. I'll have to stop and look at it closer next week... something in fleet use by one of the city departments.

[AAS]

This sighting is not so much about the car, but what I saw on it...

2 gen back Accord with Florida plates.

On the right side of the bumper was one of those religious fish things, except it was being eaten by a dinosaur. Then on the left side of the bumper was a sticker for Hillary. The kicker, in the middle of the bumper was a sticker for McCain/Palin!

So... the person sides with science/evolution over religion... liked Hillary... but now sides with the super-religious?

[Z-06]

4-Holer 2008 Sentra.

Maybe 2 people... I've met couples were there the spouses were politically quite the opposite from each other...strange, though.

[LosAngeles]

Some hot rod on the freeway, might have been a T-bucket. I usually assume Ford for those kind of cars.

Also, an early 50s 2-door, might have been a Chevy.

A 55-56 Buick Special last night.

And a car show of air cooled VWs, mostly Bugs of course, a few Buses, and one Karmann Ghia.

And lastly on the freeway, some douchebag popping a wheelie on his crotch rocket.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a white G8 GT when I walked to lunch..sharp. Saw a dark red '66 Caprice tonight..very sharp.

[Satty]

Saw another Challenger. It looked fat.

[caddycruiser]

While Malibu shopping this past week and weekend, of course saw the first Traverse arrival on 3 of the 5 lots.

Before that, saw a white Traverse LTZ strolling down the highway as I left work, with an out of state dealer plate...I think a dealer on a beach weekend.

Cool look, and that great Lambda presence & quality aura. I like them.
