I could see more big boats in the garage that the blue srt6 is by so I asked if I could look at them but the guy said that I couldn't by law or something like that so I guess these are part of a private collection.

@Doog yeah, great thing about Arizona is rust just doesn't happen.

@Gotbeefboy564 yeah, great spotting day in the Midwest. Two local spotter friends have confirmed, best spotting day ever for exotics in both Cleveland and Akron. Unfortunately... I had to work 10 and a half hours today!!!! :mad: And I didn't even get to do many deliveries. So just got out for the last couple hours of daylight. And then stayed out a bit after dark, which is unusual for me, since my camera sucks and taking photos at night. You'll see some of them eventually. But for now, from today, and some from previous days

I've thought about a dashcam... takes rubbish photos, but doesn't miss anything, nice backup for an obsessive spotter like me...

In the spoiler there is a Porsche Panamera. Not great pictures as I was in a moving car but it is clearly a Panamera.

I was definitely spoiled living in Texas when it came to spotting! A lot different in the midwest.

Well, I had to go to another town in order to buy a couple of things at Kohl's, but I also did some spotting while there. Though, I annoyingly missed a Terminator Cobra Mustang and a Yellow Corvette Z06.

First, I parked a couple spaces from this Mercedes SL55 AMG at the Kohl's parking lot.

Next, I noticed when going into the store a 1980s era car from a distance over in another parking lot that looked familiar. It was still there when I left the store, so I went to take a closer look and it turned out to be a S12 Nissan 200SX, the very first one I've seen.

I afterwards went to the Walmart here hoping to see some certain hotwheels cars there. Anyway, I saw this Z31 Nissan 300ZX and it's a 50th Anniversary Edition. The owner was there and told me a bit about his car. It was garaged for 15 years before being given to him and it suffered some rust due to the New Jersey weather. Though, Ii've seen worst rust on other cars.

Finally, I passed by this Mustang at Lowe's and decided to go back for a picture as it was a 50th Anniversary Edition. That's my 4th one this year.

Note: Well, there's still cars to spot in my own town apparently. I think I'll look out for them.

EDIT: A couple of pictures I left out before, but I think they're actually okay to upload here. I'll show them in a spoiler thing though. They're 2 pictures I left out from when I went to an auto repair shop a couple weeks ago.

Unsure if real Mopar edition

It's an actual mopar edition. Oh c'mon beef, you shouldn't have to 2nd guess these! :lol:
Who in the world would try to replicate a mopar edition Dodge Dart?

Also, c'mon; start braving out of your car and taking closer pictures of the cars.
 
This may not belong here, but it's not interesting enough for its own thread, and I want to share.

Today I went for a hike and decided to take the serious backroads home. These are pretty rough, but very twisty and fun. The route could pass for a rally stage. Anyway, I was heading down one rough road and happened to think what this road would feel like if I was in a Cayman or Boxster, as I'm considering getting one. Weirdly, as if on cue I saw a car ahead blocking the road, and it looked like an orange Porsche, not a common sight where I live (it's a truck/SUV/battered Malibu kind of place). As I got closer I saw the driver was slowly turning the car around on the narrow road and it was a Boxster. I followed him along the road for a bit and was tempted to yell if he was lost or if the road was too hard on the car, but I didn't. We went separate ways at a stop sign. So, setting off on a somewhat smoother, but still twisty road, I wondered if I should see that as a sign that I shouldn't get a Porsche, or that I should, or if I can mentally create traffic in odd places, or if it was just an odd coincidence.

I honestly didn't know about them I knew about the challengers and chargers. Also if a parking lot is busy I'll just take a pic from my truck with the window down.

Oh, alright then; I guess I could understand that. Though, you could simply look it up.

For sure, I could understand if there's no where to park that you can't take a picture up close, but I could have swore I saw open parking spaces in some of your pictures where you where taking photographs out of your truck. From there, it just seems oddly silly to not get out of your truck for a better quality picture.
