Was at an apple orchard the other day and saw the strange looking Mack I've seen. Wonder what it is.

Also saw two Bullitt Mustangs at a car show.

Do cars sitting outside of a car show count...? I need to post this up somewhere. A Lamborghini Miura Spyder showed up at the Boston Commons classic car show. The owner wanted to just look at the cars at the show. My co-worker/friend and I ended up talking to him, turns out it's one of THREE in the world! And he even invited us to come by his collection and write an article on it.

He even let people sit in it.

Edit: Saw a Citroen DS on the way home from Boston!

I saw a DS on the highway like that once! Alas, I did not have a dash cam, and that's an example of why I've considered getting one. Or maybe 3 so I can get different angles! :lol:

A couple more from while I was waiting for show cars to leave, these were late spectators or passers-by going towards the show.

had never heard of a Mercury Cougar Eliminator before, sort of like a luxury Mach 1, the only made like 4000 of them 1969-1970, and they were Mercury's last attempt at a real performance car.

BMW M3 Evolution (maybe)

I say maybe because this example is Right Hand Drive & as far as I know, every E30 M3 rolled off the production line as LHD.
So, the question is, is this a genuine M3 converted to RHD?
Or, an E30 3 series coupe upgraded to M3 specifications?

There were plenty of UK cars that got converted at the time (or since, i guess). If i remember rightly, the biggest issue, and probably the reason why they weren't offered as RHD by BMW themselves, was because the exhaust manifold would have gotten in the way of the steering column.

Without the intent of crushing your spot (since a Miura is still a special sight & catching one of these is even rarer), this car is actually a conversion that a few owners did, as the factory refused to build any beyond the 1-of-1 Roadster. The real Miura Roadster, formerly known as Zn75, is bright blue that has a raked windshield and noticeably larger side intakes. It's estimated to be the most valuable Lamborghini in existence where as these...actually diminish the value.

That explains why I couldn't find much information on it other than that one you mentioned. The owner said his main reason for owning the roadster was because he couldn't fit in his Miura SV. Owner's name is Lance Willsey.

On my drive yesterday after work I saw a Lanica Delta Integrale in Giallo Ginestra, which was AWESOME! Then, I saw a Lotus Esprit V8 Sport in Vulcan Grey. Both stunning classics.

Either there's a teacher that's the envy of their Mopar loving students or, there's a student that drives to school with 707bhp at their disposal in which case, I hate them.

Honestly, I don't know who drives it but I'd like to know if it is someone from my school. Was in a parking lot where the teachers usually park so...:D
 
Without trying I've probably seen 25+ Challenger Hellcats this summer, so I'm at the point where I ignore them now, since they're ridiculous and not in a very good way and not that rare. I've only seen one Hellcat Charger, so those are rare enough to still be interesting, and even more ridiculous. They need to make a Hellcat Magnum, that would be ridiculous enough to be properly cool!

I'd love to see a new Magnum but minivans and crossovers are the future so I highly doubt there will be any new wagons from Dodge anytime soon. It sucks.

I doubt we'll ever see a Dodge Magnum again, the demand for them just isn't there in the US. People seem to be fine with sedans and with the takeover of crossovers, there aren't many people looking for a station wagon.
