Doog is not entirely wrong. Potato proof of an amazing spot is okay in my book, of a Thing, yeah, don't really want to see that here myself.
 
It was indeed a beautiful day, but also the middle of summer, when owners don't feel much of a sense of urgency to get out on the road. First nice days of spring and last nice days of fall I come home with 100+ photos, right now I'm averaging 25....

But, I did see some stuff

not sure if real, but this was way out in the country where actually there's a lot of money. Lebron lives out here, for example. if real, expensive car, Boss 302. Parnelli Jones' ride to victory in the 1970 SCCA Trans-Am series. 7000 some produced.

Land Rover Defender at the diner. There's a Ford Ranchero in the background. Couldn't get a pic of it in time.

I also saw a Maserati Gran Turismo S getting gas, but I couldn't get a picture of it either.

I had to drive around quite a bit today, so I figured I could do some spotting.

First, I saw this e30 at my college when I was paying for something there.

Finally, I've missed this Roush Mustang several times and I finally had an opportunity to get a picture of it.

I went walking around destin as I wanted to check out the Bass Pro Shops there for something. I actually almost went by this GT without noticing; it somehow blended in with the other cars well. Maybe it was the color.

My first wild spot of a Chevrolet SS Sedan.

I guess I'll end the post here with this Audi S4.

Note: There's another car I saw, but I'll edit it in later; I need to look it up.
 
@The87Dodge don't make me dig back into your posts, I cut you some slack because of where you are, but you do NOT get to say that to Sean! And how many SVT's have YOU seen? I've bagged maybe 4 total in 4 years of spotting.

Exactly, I've only seen 1 within the past year and this isn't just a normal Ford Focus. They were great little hot hatches in my opinion.

That's a SRT-10, not a RT/10. Dodge only called the convertible Viper the RT/10 for the first 2 generations. After that, then switched it to SRT-10 for their "Street Racing Team" division.

Hoo boy, wasn't expecting that response. I actually see a Focus SVT pretty often, because a guy a few streets away from me owns one. But I've never thought of it to be a good spot, nor do I have a picture of it. And I apologize to @playnthru .
 
I've never seen an SVT Focus in real life and I think they are cool. Just because you think it isn't a great spot doesn't mean that it isn't a good spot to other people.
 
The87Dodge
The Focus wasn't that good of a spot.

No worries, mate.👍

I posted the Focus SVT because they are somewhat rare and people here like them. Feel free to grab a photo of the SVT near you and share it with us! As you can see there are people here who do appreciate them.


Good spotting to ya
