Working at the shop today, easn't able to get pictures of the one guys Mustang II Cobra he built or the '46 Chevy that had a blown Monte Carlo rear end and a 350 but I was able to get a picture of this:

1932 Ford Coupe
Original, but rebuilt Flathead V8 numbers matching
4 speed standard
Original frame
Fiberglass body
Triple deuce but only 1 works
Only downfall is most of it is a kit car excluding the frame, engine etc.

Nice day though so a few older cars drove by as well, namely a late 60s early 70s Chevelle, Vettes and newer Mustangs. Couple rat rods too.

Ohh that S2000, do want. There's something about usually convertible cars with hard tops (see that rare MX5 from a while back)
 
These arent what i saw today, but i have mentioned them to you before, and just now have found some good pics of them: my grandfathers tr6 and mustang...

TR6: hes had it since the early 2000's, and is in love with it. Hes part of the detroit triumph club, and puts this into competitions. It currently has the original paint and interior, and is a very fun car to ride in, along with a head-turner, because, well, not may uk cars are in the us.:

Mustang: this is his 1994 mustang gt.... Original color and interior, in mint condition. (along with the tr6) He bought it when it came out, with only 226 (or something like that) built 100% like it.:

Also, that s2000. Do want. :drool::drool::drool::drool:
 
Here's something you don't see as often as an R8:

Yeah, that's an RS. Can't immediately tell it apart unless it has the fixed wing. Also, something lower end:

Good enough.

What appears to be a new Bentley Azure. If you squint really hard, you can see an Abarth 500 and a Hummer H2 to the right.

Today at the grocery store had seen one of these parked next to me as I was walking out back to my car.

New Cadillac CTS4. First time I have ever seen one. I have to admit the car looks good. I am not a fan of these Cadillac. The way the body design is it is beautiful.

Sorry i didn't get more pictures but it was pouring outside

The 32 and Buick thingie are all kinds of awesome. The black Porsche might not be real, but the cream one is indeed real and a very rare Coupe. Very good post 👍

The Buick was one of the coolest rides I've seen. And thanks! I'll keep my eye out whenever I'm not driving and try to post more.
 
Good first part of the day so far, couldn't get pics because I'm always driving, Saw a orange AAR Cuda, blue and white 2012 gt500 convertible, a orange Lotus Exige there is a dealer by my house but this was on the road, and saw a red Mercedes C32 AMG.
 
Beeph, if you're going to post here you need a pic.

Or at least a really good story...
 
Yeah, I normally take a while to chime in, but I'm pretty sure you've been made aware previously when you've posted with no pics that in DYSAGT you need pics to post spottings.

So since the message isn't sinking in, I'll join Josh in repeating, serious Gotbeef, don't take it personally, we all miss way more spots than we post, but no pic, no post.
 
Bad picture but there was a bunch of beetles and a camper can down the bottom. You can just about see them. Also the rear bumper of a Mazda RX (7/8) I get confused.

Then after a long day I was standing waiting for the bus getting blinded by the sun when suddenly Porsche Cayman.

I'm not bsing about what I see its just I can't use my Ipod while I drve and its against the law to use phones and other stuff while driving.
 
I didn't say you were BS'ing, I said you need to post a pic if you're going to claim you saw something. It says so in the OP.

And I understand how frustrating it is missing a nice car, it happens to me all the time. Excluding my earlier months here as a noob (2011-'12 ish) I've only claimed to see a car without posting a picture once.
 
The other part is my Ipod touch pics won't upload to GTplanet for some reason. I'd rather do videos when I can instead of taking pics.
 
You can get a Photobucket or some other type of image hosting app. That's what I done on my iPod, and then my iPad after my iPod was stolen. And I use Picsay along with DirectImageUpload (I think) on my phone, but it's an Android so it's probably not available for your iPod.


Edit: Sorry for getting off topic. I'll stop now.
 
Late '90s Trans Am, LS1, automatic. Ran like absolute trash. Kept stalling out on the road etc. Looked nice though.

I specifically thought of Cano when I saw this come in for an inspection today. 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 convertible, 4 speed manual, 390 FE V8, the entire car completely original. This is NOT a restored car, but rather well kept, other than the engine. They said it was original but 390's weren't available that year. It has a 59,000 miles on it. Needs paint in some spots but everything was in tip top shape and man she sounded BEAUTIFUL. Highlight of my day here (besides the '65 Mustang down the road at a body shop with a couple other Trans Ams etc).

I see a LOT of old stuff all the time, 99% of the time can't get a picture.

I think that's an LT1 Trans Am.... I wonder if that damn optispark was causing the stalling lol.
