Car Spotting

[zoomtm]

make sure you get black or dark red paint and some nicer rims ;)

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw the car in my sig... Blue G6 GTP sedan. Ahh... :wub:

[Paolino]

Okay, so I figured I'd put it in here... saw a car yesterday--NO idea what it was. I am really good with telling cars from their brake lights in the dark, but this was daytime, and I hadn't a clue. It was a wagon, sleek, rounded back (like instead of having a vertical rear window, it was angled in).. it was kinda like the color of the LaCrosse's Cardinal Red Metallic... the directionals were amber - I'm just trying to give you as much detail as I can. The logo was chrome, about the size of the dodge logo. If it wasn't going like 100 on the LIE, then I might have had a chance seeing what it was. Any ideas?

[Cory Wolfe]

Um... Mercury Sable? :P

Audi A3 :unsure:

[ocnblu]

G6 GT coupe in Emerald Green... NO options. Looks great in that color, but the base wheels look small compared to the 18 inchers on the GTP. I'd love to see a green GTP coupe with the ultrabright wheels.

[bobo]

I saw a red convertible '78 or '79 Cadillac Seville today, possibly a Milan conversion. Yesterday I saw my first 2006 Malibu on the road. I like the old nose better.

[LosAngeles]

Today on Car Spotting: -new Montego -Marauder -80s Lincoln Town Car limo, painted with a leopard print scheme -A4 Jetta wagon with a Golf front end -X-Type Sportwagon

[ocnblu]

'06 Sierra Hybrid. Extended cab 4X4, Stealth Gray over Silver Birch. $37k. Salesman landed on me like a hawk until he saw my shirt with my company name on it... then he quickly walked away. (They are a competitor.) Mileage figures look the same as a regular 5.3, if I bemember correctly. Edited September 21, 2005 by ocnblu

[LosAngeles]

-59 Cadillac coupe -Alfa GTV -A tow truck hitching up a white Trans Sport, with a silver Trans Sport right behind it with hazards on (weird)

[HarleyEarl]

I've seen the Chevy HHR in dealer lots. Today I saw a copper colored one on the street. It was in a sea of bland, boring econoboxes. I now see the point of this vehicle...it has style in spades. Makes all other cars in this class just look washed out and faded. Way more presence than a PT Cruiser...and well, doesn't look like a mini-hearse.

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw my second HHR not on a dealer lot today. Copper colored in Dubois. An LT. I also saw the new Jeep Comander. Wow... huge... old... boxy... looking. :blink: Ugh... I also happened to see my first G6 with the three spoke steering wheel. A GT sedan in red. Still haven't seen a coupe yet. Which sucks... but I just my parents had the money to replace the piece of shit Blazer with a G6... coupe or sedan... Oh well. *sigh*

[ocnblu]

'73 Nova hatch, painted all black except for the rim of the grille and the rims, looked and sounded good. Pre-'73 Maverick coupe, gray metallic, looked and sounded good, nice rims.

[Flybrian]

A couple Commanders and the dealership. Looks like crap. Oh, and get this. A black sedan spec'd out pretty nicely - low-profile tires, blacked-out rims, chromed exhaust tip, lowered slightly, driven by a young person, about 25ish - car looked very, very hot. It was a Buick LaCrosse CXS.

[LosAngeles]

Someone at a neighbor's house had a real Ferrari Daytona.

[bobo]

Saw a red Ridgeline with a billet grille today. I'm seeing about one Ridgeline a day now.

[LosAngeles]

Forgot the following: -CTS V-series (#5, I think) -73 Delta 88 convertible -something else I'm struggling to remember...[edit: now, I remember....gray-silver Viper GTS] Last night, a white stock 69 Camaro with a black vinyl roof. Continental GTs are now off my spot list, as are stock 06 Impalas This may have been a week ago, but I also spotted a B-body Chrysler wagon, probably 78. Edited September 26, 2005 by LosAngeles

[Teh Ricer Civic!]

i saw a Carmenghia (spelling?) AND... an old Mustang (67?) with a 289 AND a manual... i rarely ever see those.

[Paolino]

Um... Mercury Sable? :P

[post="16853"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Audi A3  :unsure:

[post="16866"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Okay, definitely not a Sable wiseguy :P
As for the A3... possible.. I thought the taillamps were Audi-esque, however, the chrome logo was too small and square to be the audi four-rings.

Suzuki Reno?

[Flybrian]

[LosAngeles]

Gelandewagen last night.

[Drew Dowdell]

Saw a valiant attempt at an entry-level luxury car V-Series. No, I'm serious. I assume it had the Stealth Group package, which includes truck rack, three-out-of-four wheel covers, and a vinyl top.

I'm thinking of making my Aurora a 442 for fun.

[post="16806"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Uhm.... 4 valves per cylinder, 4 speed auto, dual exhaust. :P

[LosAngeles]

Also a white H3. This was just to run my post count artificially into SS Member :P

[AAS]

During my trip to Havasu I saw countless GM and Ford pick-ups and SUV's, but i'm most happy in reporting that I saw ZERO ridgelines. To continue ripping on the ridgeline... I have seen the same handfull of ridgelines for sale at a honda dealership for almost 2 months now! :D

[LosAngeles]

Trying to remember it all.... -yellow 55 Chevy 4-door -Crayola green last-gen Celica on black rims -Ford LTD vert -73 Century -another 06 Sonata -another new Maserati Coupe -some 60s Mercury vert (intermediate with the red "390" badge on the side)...might not have been a Mercury, but actually a Fairlane.

[Satty]

I saw a Fusion this morning.

[Variance]

I've never seen so many different/interesting/expensive cars in my life as I have today. Aston Martin DB9 Merecedes-Benz CL55 AMG, SL500, SL55 AMG, CLS500 Jaguar X-Type wagon 2006 Subaru Forester First generation Pontiac Fiero in color-shifting paint Ferrari 355 2006 Ford Explorer BMW X5 4.8is First generation Dodge Viper 2006 Honda Civic

[Northstar]

Saw a silver M3 accelerating pretty quickly today. Sounded schweet.

[LosAngeles]

First Torrent on the street and what I believe to be a 65 Galaxie sedan.

[bowtie_dude]

Saw a first-gen Pontiac Grand Am today. All black. First one I've ever seen. I also see the same red SL500, silver CLS500, and Blue Steel XLR everyday. My commute to work takes me through one of the wealthiest areas of Lexington, which leads to some awesome car sightings on occasion. Edited September 28, 2005 by bowtie_dude

[bobo]

Saw a Catera today. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those. And yet another Ridgeline.

[LosAngeles]

The most memorable were an Aston DB9 vert and a 73 Cutlass Supreme.

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw a white 95 GAGT like mine in absolutely perfect condition for sale. I also saw my second HHR on the road. With a spoiler.

[Sixty8panther]

I don't usually post in these threads unless I have pics to acompany the list.. here's a review of some of my spots from this summer:










My own car at the Worcester Summer Nationals this July.... and some other interesting cars:

[Flybrian]

That's a tasteful Fleetwood limo, except for the misaligned door. More handsome than those gaudy Prommobile Town Cars everywhere.

[Northstar]

Today I saw a red CTS-V. Yesterday I saw a yellow xB TAXI :lol:

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw a white 5th gen GAGT sedan... going f**king 20 mph under the limit. OMG... if there was ever a time when I needed my goddamn horn. Stupid thing still isn't working... Flashed my headlights over and over again, but either that bitch didn't see it or she didn't care. The road was too narrow to pass. Cost me about a half hour...

[balthazar]

1966 Eldorado convertible, registered but parked & for sale. Power windows (including vents), power bucket seats, console, power top w/ glass window, heated seats, A/C, cruise, tilt & telescopic, leather upholstery & real wood trim (not shellaced to death until it looks every bit like plastic, like all modern cars have). Have to call and see how much- am betting it's around $15K.

[bowtie_dude]

Sixty8, whats that big primer black car?

[Northstar]

Forgot to post this earlier, but I saw an M Coupe today. I only ever saw it from the rear, but it was really weird with the fender flares sticking way out. It was hella fast though.

[bobo]

Saw a black HHR today. I still think it looks spectacular. There's no other new car on the market that has me smitten like this.

[Sixty8panther]

[post="22250"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

1966/1967 Oldsmobile Toronado. The one with a HUGE displacement V8 and FWD. It's been chopped by several inches and has a custom Billet Aluminum Grille. :)

cool. the black primer color makes it more intimidating. i'd be tempted to leave it as is.

[Cory Wolfe]

Um... I had a very Lincoln day. First I saw a 90's Mark-whatever coupe as well as a 60s Continental.

[LosAngeles]

To close out the month, I've seen a leopard-print painted Sentra and another two-door 55 Chevy.

[Cory Wolfe]

Can't believe I forgot to tell about my trip to the dealer. Got to get up close and personal with the new DTS. As well as a G6 GT and some used cars. :P First the DTS. It looks good. I wasn't sure how the fascias would look with the body, but they go together great. Much better than the original. The interior looks good too... very luxurious and better than the STS. Next the G6. It was a red GT sedan. The reason I'm telling you guys this is because I noticed some things. First, it didn't have a spoiler. Are they now optional? If so... that sucks. Second, the interior... the center stack looked different. I studied it and guess what, the plastic is the same as the dash unlike the 2005. Did anyone else notice this...?

I've seen a few DTS rear ends and they actually look better than the pre-2006s.

[Carguy]

06 Impalas ((EVERYWERE!!))---And most of them are BLACK and look pretty GOOD!!----Just WISH they were RWD!!! <_<
