Someone at work showed up with a bugeye WRX, built up with all STI parts. It's got about 100 horsepower on mine. So now we have the full range of US spec STIs basically.

Kind of neat how you can see the little bits of evolution to the car.

I'm definitely noticing the headlights. First era was the bug eyes, then it goes to having a round dot but also has design off to the side, then they made it a little more wavy, and on the newest one they adjusted that wavy design even more.
 
From a few days ago...

This guy customizes controllers and headphones for rappers and basketball players. See? This is America-- you can make enough money to have a cool hot rod truck, and off the silliest of things.
 
A red NSX and a yellow NSX parked in front of one of the auto shops I used to work at. If only I was still working there -___-
 
It sure is, and very cool.

Austin Healey (3000?)

Don't mind the Beamer who's in a hurry apparently

Didn't even think these were out yet...



 
Ohhh, we're getting some awesome pics, love old Bristols (I have one to post up too) and that De Dion, holy smoke!

And this is even tougher:
LuAZ 969M. A Ukrainian lightweight 4x4 utility vehicle powered by 40hp air-cooled V4 engine. Kinda like Citroen Mehari, but even smaller.
They could barely be found on streets 10-15 years ago, but now they are pretty rare.

That XFRS is cool, didn't know they sold them yet!

But as I was driving today, I saw a nice Porsche 924. Then later on, imagine my surprise when I saw it in the parking lot I was in!




Right next to it was this Oldsmobile, anyone know the exact model?
 
1905 De Dion Buton

Holy hell!!! AMAZING SPOT!! You people have been on absolute fire lately. Very cool.

Looks like a 1968 442 to me.

It's just a Cutlass, no 4-4-2. Also it doesn't have a blower or even a tunnel ram, sadly the guy cut his hood to poke out an air intake that's just over the carb. Stupid. Otherwise cool car.
 
That's a 1 of 333 Audi R8 GT! Excellent spot!

Didn't know they were limited. I saw another one exactly the same going to school. I posted a video of it on this thread a while back.

Unknown.
Also, JrDarkness, I asked my mom and it was on 96th street that the FR-S was on.

Yea I knew I was right, looked familiar. I'm telling you. YOU WILL SEE something around there. I saw a NSX today from my drive-thru window.
