Re: Rare Car Spotted!
Not sure if this would count as "rare" but I saw a Volvo C30 the other day with the Swedish flag painted on the roof. Found an example on Flikr:

^^ Those cars are sooo funky looking. I still can't seem to decide how I feel about them.

Re: Rare Car Spotted!
I didn't get my spy shot on but I was driving to the grocery store in PA when a brand new white GT-R was pulling out of a side street w/ dealer plate on. The guy was eye'ing my forester up and down, too.
First one I have seen in public.

Re: Rare Car Spotted!
It actually belongs to one of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He services all his cars at our dealership (the Infiniti dealer that is). He has an absolutely mental supercharged G35 with something like 600hp to the wheels that amusingly enough has a nissan front and rear end. He already has one of the new GTR's on order and owns a skyline drift racing team. Dude likes skylines....

The VW is sweet! My folks had a '63 VW crew cab when I was in college. A great ride for southern CA.

I always had a thing for those... and for "thing"s too.

Re: Rare Car Spotted!
On the way back from the meet I spotted a yellow Dodge Viper GTS. It was pretty sweet. That is until I recognized the enormous spoiler and the front bumper that looked like a snow plow. Oh yes this was a Henessey Venom. Sweet baby Jesus. Sorry no pics.

Re: Rare Car Spotted!
That is funny...I just saw a Yellow Dodge Viper ACR yesterday. Very beautiful car. It was right next to me at the light but light changed before I could get my blackberry camera in timeBluestreak2006 wrote:On the way back from the meet I spotted a yellow Dodge Viper GTS.

Slightly similar to this but it looked better:

Oh and also the same day I saw some form of 90's Ferrari Testarossa w/ aftermarket wheels and dark tint (in red of course).

Re: Rare Car Spotted!
A dark blue 1960's Aston Martin DBS drove past while I was walking in downtown Baltimore on Sunday morning. he was too quick to get evidence of the spotting, but here's a pic from wikipedia.

Okay, I have seen 12 different Austin Martin DBs in the last two months...anyone seeing a bunch, too? Maybe they are from section 6 and trying to recruit me?

There's two Maybach's the slink around Orange County. I run into them from time to time. Well, I see them from time to time, and I'm happy not to run into them
