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

[ildd]

Finally back at my house (one sore body later) with reliable internet. I can't count the missed spots on two hands but I can name them.
Please note that all but two of these were from over 100ft away, unexpected, and taken at high speeds so don't jump at me for quality.

The white car on the right is a 1st-gen T-Bird, unsure about the blue car.

1965ish Chevy, I believe.

1st-gen Dodge Dart

(above)

Maserati Quatroporte (one of these cars is unlike the others)

Very nice looking 1955-ish Ford.

'68 Firebird

1977 LTD

Plymouth Roadrunner.

I'm thinking Dodge...

Good ol 50's Chevy.

And the only one at a standstill
Dodge Ram Daytona

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Went back to the promenades and saw a CLS63 AMG. Also saw that Murcielago and Boxster Special Edition I posted a while ago.

 

[playnthru]

@ildd your Tempest is a 68 FireBird. 77 T-Bird is just a LTD though. The red car is a RoadRunner I believe.


P.S Slow down!!!

Thank you for the ID's, I'm not too familiar with either one, can't believe I forgot what the Roadrunner looked like :doh:
Oh, and my dad was driving. Trust me, he doesn't need to slow down... it's just a lot of the cars were hidden until you got right next to it, and by then, it's too late. Like I said, I missed spots in the double digits. Or they were simply too far away.

Wow, I didn't even notice the similarities to the Mach 5's color scheme until you mentioned Speed Racer!

haha, yup, but it's most probably just a replica. Ruined by the wheels and that 'SKYLINE' badge on the left front.

Today, I was finally able to recover the files from my old laptop and noticed that there's some other car spots that I don't think I shared on here and I sort of want to. I originally decided to try car spotting for fun just simply because when I use to live in CT; I always would run into something interesting on a day to day basis.

One of my first spots; a blue Evo X taken poorly. It was one of my first times taking pictures with my cell phone.

Acura TL Type-S with a New York plate. I always thought that these were good cars and I had a couple friends that obsessed over them.

A Ford F150 Raptor at a bank with a camper thing on the back.

Pontiac G8 at the mall

A couple of evos from my previous college

Even when I was living in CT, I rarely saw G-Wagons and this was a state that loved Mercs.

A WRX Hatchback, but in WR Blue. :3

I don't remember if I ever posted this Maserati or not, but oh well.

@playnthru if you don't mind me asking, how do you continually find everything good in the car world? Do you go spotting at lunch or what?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Dammit flickr! I had to do some edition, because for some reason; it was defaulting the bb code options to 75x75.

 

[playnthru]

@playnthru if you don't mind me asking, how do you continually find everything good in the car world? Do you go spotting at lunch or what?

Yeah, something like that.

I go for long walks along a great spotting route. It includes a major tourist highway and our scenic downtown. Between the two there's always something good.
