Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

@jeffgoddin Old Merc is a late '50s W128. Last one is a Fiat 124 Spider.

That cracking little Honda Z though! 👍

It was time to test out the camera on my new Cellphone. So of course, what else to try it on than some cars.

Oh, this looked like a good volunteer. A Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG.

Next, an EM1 Honda Civic Si Coupe.

I then went walking around and saw this VW Jetta GLI.

On my way back to the car from my walk, I saw the Impreza WRX sti hatchback from last week. So, of course I try for a better picture, but it unfortunately came out blurry. I sort of rushed th epic rather than let the camera focus first. Oops.

With my last spot, I didn't rush it this time. So, no blur. Anyway yeah, it's a SVT Cobra Mustang. I think this might be the one I keep seeing pass by in my neighborhood.

@Dac_Xint for some strange reason, the last time I visited the thread your pictures never loaded, I just saw your post in the last page. Prawn. Welcome back dude! Now bring Rue home.

rallydakar · Dec 30, 2014

I think so!

Wiegert · Dec 30, 2014

@rallydakar Showroom stuff goes here. 👍

Did I see anything good today? Yes, I saw too much as a matter of fact. I wanted to give the camera on my new Samsung Galaxy a test run and so...yeah. I got really carried away with the spotting. Here's the result of it. Due to the huge amount of pictures, I had to put everything in a spoiler so I don't screw with anyone's server.

Yup, a nice start. My first C7 Corvette Z06! 👍

I wanted to go explore around the town Destin, FL. So when I got to an intersection, I saw this Cadillac CTS-V Sedan.

I went walking around this shopping center and saw a few cars there. This Mk.IV VW Golf R32 was the first car I ran into.

I then saw this Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG further down on another street. How about that, 2 SL55s in 2 days.

Nice, a 997 Porsche 911 Turbo. I actually saw this pass by me on the street I saw the Golf R32 at and snapped a picture, but I then saw it parked here. So, I figured I should take another picture.

I'm guessing this FC Mazda RX-7 is a turbo model. I think this is the re one that I keep missing.

I decided to go check out the parking garage to see if there was anything interesting there and there was. I saw another 2015 Mustang GT that's in the same color as the one I saw a few days ago.

Alright, on the next floor of this parking garage; there were 2 Impreza WRX Stis next to each other. One a Blob eye & one a Hawk Eye.

It's been a while since I saw a ML63 AMG. I almost went by it. Odd, I rarely see more than 1 AMG in a day.

This BMW 325 e30 was in the same parking lot as the ML63 AMG.

My first time seeing a 1st Gen Toyota 4-Runner. I figured it would be a good spot since I've seen people post older Toyota trucks before.

I then decided to go check out other places and I pulled in to this surf shop due to the fact this Mercedes SL65 AMG was sitting there. I can't believe I saw one outside of the dealership.

At a bank that was nearby the surf shop, I encountered an e46 BMW M3. I also saw a Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG pass by, but I didn't bother with it. I just figured it was the a SLK55 I saw already.

I went to Best Buy next to see if there was anything I wanted to purchase. I saw a few cars in the parking lot. This VW Golf Mk.V R32 was one of them.

Further up, there was this Subaru Impreza WRX Sti.

After exiting Best Buy, I was about to get back to my car when I suddenly saw a Lancer Evo IX that turned out to be a MR Edition. Cool.

I went driving around another area and I saw this Porsche 911 Turbo S in front of a store that I forget the name of.

I saw this VW Jetta GLI across from the Porsche.

and close by the Porsche 911 was also this Range Rover Supercharged.

Next, I saw a Jaguar in this driveway and wanted to check out if it was a XKR, but it was a normal XK. Though, I also noticed an Audi in front of it and took a look at it. It turned out to be a RS5.

Okay, at this point; I was thinking I was done spotting and just wanted to go look at the Porsche dealer to see what they got, but I didn't stop. I pulled into this parking lot to look at this Bentley Continental.

I saw the Maserati I missed here last time. It wasn't a Quattroporte though, it's actually a Ghibli. This was in at a surf shop that was next to the Longhorn steakhouse that I saw the Bentley at.

After my trip to the Porsche dealer; I saw this Chevrolet EL Camino.

And I will of course end my post of cars with my very first spot of a Mercedes-Benz 280SL. I saw it on my way home.

EDIT: I don't know when I'll ever to be able to make a repeat of this kind of spotting. All I know is I don't want to do it again for a while.

Then went to a bmw dealer saw my frist m235i

ildd · Dec 31, 2014

Haven't checked the thread since Christmas... some truly amazing spots. Nothing extraordinarily rare coming from my end, but a few nice things caught me.

WRX (ok from here on out I'm going to stop posting these and only stick to STis)

Nice little Starion/Conquest turbo

Saw these guys pull in right before my shift ended at work

Jeep Wagoneer

CTS-V

SL65 AMG I almost missed- I think this is my first R230 SL65

GTO sitting outside a Subway/drivers learning school

I think this is an STi... maybe WRX but it looks cool!

jeffgoddin · Dec 31, 2014

Pulled a circle-around trick on this one that I'm pretty happy with, went by me the other way and I saw it turn left a few blocks up as I was still in traffic. I turned right (the same direction) on the next road, knowing that his road was full of traffic. Using my little lady's acceleration I made two straight lights, struggled behind a slowpoke for a moment, through a couple stop signs, and like 8 blocks after turning I turned right again down to the road the Ferrari was on, then right again to catch him oncoming, hoping he'd been held up enough by traffic. He was, yay!

That vette is probably a grand sport it has two red stripes on the hood.

jeffgoddin · Dec 31, 2014

Yeah I was suspicious... C6 Grandsports are actually less common than Z06's, oddly.

RandomCarGuy17 · Dec 31, 2014

Nope, didn't you see the Z06 badge on the side? Plus it doesn't have the GS air vents on the door.

RandomCarGuy17 · Dec 31, 2014

I saw some more things today. Not as much as yesterday, but still some nice cars I believe.

I was on my way to the airforce base and I pulled over to this auto repair shop. I saw this nice '68 Camaro there.

I also saw this '67 Mustang Notchback there.

There was also this dirty C3 Corvette across from the repair shop, just left to rot I guess.

When I got onto base to go to the gamestop there, I finally ran into the Early 70s Camaro that I kept missing.

Then, I saw this nice 300ZX Twin Turbo nearby the Camaro.

Of course, my post ends with this Mazdaspeed 3 I saw when leaving the Gamestop.

Odd, maybe because I switched to flickr and the images that you saw which were unavailable were from another hosting service?

Anyhow, its a new year so let's just look at the new stuff

My first post of 2015, can't seem to stay away from German power

100% sure it's not an STi, the US never got those. It might not be a WRX, but it most likely is. If it's not a WRX it's just a "Sport".

On my trip to Maryland, I decided to use my new Canon EOS M I got for Christmas for car spotting. It's actually a pretty decent camera to spot with while on the road.

I got some decent shots (and some others I need to get on my computer and crop):

Quattroporte:

And the classic Volvo right in front of it:
