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

[playnthru]

I believe that's a Stutz Blackhawk. It's built from a Pontiac Grand Prix.

It's been ages since I last saw his Flickr, but I'm absolutely glad he started to take his skills seriously, as indeed he's a cracking shooter. Awesome to hear that he's starting to turn the hobby into work! I'll throw him a line over there (:

A combination of cars I saw yesterday and today:

Yesterday, I saw this C3 Corvette at my college that's cleaner than the previous 2 C3s I posted.

Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C7 and it's my first non Z06 Stingray that I saw in blue. With that said, now the only C7s after this one I'll post are Z06 models. I just wanted to finally see a normal, blue C7. Now, I'm satisfied with them.

A slightly better picture of the ST162 Celica GT I saw a while back.

Today, I finally got a close look at the white Z32 300ZX that I kept missing. It was also at my college.

Lastly, I saw this red, 1st gen Toyota 4-Runner at Walmart

I hate seeing dealer plates on cars.

it's a thing in CA, the Bay Area at least.... sooooo many cars have dealer plates on the rear and a little licence plate in some window where you can't really see it....

[RandomCarGuy17]

I see 2 other cars in there too. 3x Combo Jeff!

Okay, now it's my turn again and I sort of decided to look around places again for cars. So, time to share what I saw while driving around. I decided to just show one picture of each car so that the server doesn't go blahh so much. The other shots will be on my flickr. Anyway, here's what I saw:

First of all, I know a certain Lincoln nut may like this. It's a Lincoln Continental that I see around my neighborhood often; it was parked by a park I live close by.

Next, a Corvette Z06 I posted before, but I took a pic of it from a window. Here's a better shot of it.

Alright, I went to Gamestop next and saw this Monte Carlo SS that was in very good condition.

Not the best spot, but it's something I like looking out for. A bugeye Impreza WRX and it's blue!

A Toyota Pickup that's not in the best shape, but I sort of like these. So...

Once again, I may have taken a picture of the Mazdaspeed 6 before, but it wasn't that good of a picture. So, I took a picture of it again.

There was a Mazdaspeed 3 across from the Mazdaspeed 6.

I then saw this 2015 Challenger R/T further down from the Mazdas and the Cadillac CTS-V even further down the lot from that.

Last year; I took a crummy shot of a late 60s Pontiac Firebird. Well, time to make up for it. I saw it again at the same parking lot and went for a good shot of it. It was honestly not in the best shape.

Funny enough, I saw a BMW 1M Coupe nearby the Firebird.

Also in the same lot as those 2 previous cars; there was this nice Toyota SR5 Pickup. I'm guessing it's the pickup brother to the 1st gen 4-Runner.

Of course, I found another WR Blue Impreza.

My very first spot of a Mini Cooper JCW GP. I sort of can't believe I saw one.

Right after the Mini, I snapped a picture of this C7 Convertible that I think is the one I saw last year from a window. I of course decided to take a picture due to the previous shot being a crummy shot. Also, the Lime Rock Green C7 is sort of rare as I've heard that 2014 is the only year where Chevy would be producing C7 Vettes in that color.

Finally, I'll end this post with an e46 M3 in a nice blue.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

@RandomCarGuy17 You're correct, that pickup is the same thing as a 1st gen 4Runner. The original 4Runner was simply a Pickup with a removable hardtop and some back seats.

Doog, I have a feeling that your joking, but despite that. I feel that I should let you know that I meant to write another word that is similar to satisfied.
So, no need to be nervous.

EDIT: I just finally remembered the word I meant to use. It was "content".

con·tent
kənˈtent/
adjective

1. 1.
   in a state of peaceful happiness.
   "he seemed more content, less bitter"
   synonyms: contented, satisfied, pleased, gratified, fulfilled, happy, cheerful, glad;More

I saw a Vauxhall Ampera the other day which I thought was pretty neat as they are very rare in the UK having only sold 90!... probably due to the outrageous mark up. I really thought I would never see one on the road!

Looked so futuristic, such a shame they made it look really bland for the new facelift.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

That's a Chevy Volt in the US which is common. Also post a pic before you say that you saw something here.

Beef, I'm sorry, but *facepalm*.
Common in the US =/= common everywhere else. By that logic, Ford Mustangs sighted in Europe should not be good since they're common here.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Havent seen a Vanquish in awhile.

 

[GTboyz]

I didn't have time to take the pics of cars since they were moving pretty fast but here's the list of what i saw during my holiday in Perth:
2 Shelby Cobra kit cars, a 1970 Dodge Charger, a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, a 1961 Jaguar E-Type, a 1983 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (Initial D inspired), a couple of E92 M3s, a couple of R32 GTRs, and a handful of new Commodore SS.

All of which is pretty cool to me since i rarely see these cars and almost all of them are cars that i want in my garage.

Edit : oh oh, i've got one ! I had just finished hanging out at a local mall and stumbled on this beauty

Ah, we need an Aussie spotter in here! So not fair that your got the GT-R's back in the day! Please post photos of them!! And I'm guessing you know, we here mostly don't care to hear what you've seen, we want to see it, too! So yes, lovely old 911 (I love it when they have the rally stickers in them!)

Having said that, I'm gonna go ahead and break that rule myself. On the 80 today heading back to Cleveland, could not believe my eyes, this time of year especially, only 4 interesting cars on the road the whole 2400 miles (well, that part's believable...) but one of them happened to be so special that I have to shout it out there. I saw my first R32!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I love that car, not sure if GT-R, though the front stuff looked just like it should, not sure if the GT-R had a different aero face than the GT-T, etc. So exciting, that moment of OMG, is that???? and than as is went by to see the tail lights!!! Skyline!!!!! Yes, did get off at the next exit 2 miles later and turn around, hoping even if the chance is slim to catch it... but there were a lot of exits, and 20 miles later I turned around and continued on my way to Cleveland. Usually I'd be pissed to not get a photo of something, but the feeling I got from that brief glimpse was so good, not really bothered by that today.

Ah, ok, had to do that. In Iowa just west of Davenport, in case anybody is interested.

and here's a photo of something I saw in Wyoming, more stuff from this property later...

If it's all the same to you, here's a photo of my relative's R32 GTR from Sydney. The first time i saw the glimpse of the headlights from my relative's garage. I've got goosebumps, no joke. Then my relative's said that he's going to take the car out, something that surprised me since it was quite a hassle to get the car out from the garage and he hadn't use the car in a long time. Gosh that RB sounds like boss !

Sweet baby Jesus, the right colour, the mint condition, and those non-oversized, choicely bronze CE-28 rims, even the plate is perfect! Love it!

Yep, people had been saying that my relative's GTR is the perfect GTR. I've ridden shotgun with him once and it was awesome.

That car is such a masterpiece, its looks kick ass even in stock form. You've unleashed my GTR fetish mate, sorry, but time to reminisce:

Yeah the R32 is awesome in stock form. It's my favourite GTR from the skyline family so it's kinda a big deal for me when i found out someone in my family has one lol

Hey amigos! Paul mentioned that I had been brought up here recently. Sorry for being so slack for so long. Paul's right, I have been super-busy with both work and camerabatics. Had a few decent gigs in recent months being sent to a few places around Asia for some motorsports photography with more to come in 2015. Hopefully the start of bigger things. Haven't really done much snapping around town(s), but I guess I have a few things I can share with the class.
