Spotted Today!

[thewizard16]

Saw something interesting on the way home today, so I stopped and took a picture since I happened to have my camera with me. I scaled these way down so they wouldn't bog anyone down. Any ideas what these two trucks full of oddly painted Trailblazers would be for?

Wizard is that Kent Ohio?

Nope. Mountain Home, Arkansas. The dealership is owned by a couple named Kent.

Parked (and drove) last night:
S4 convert.
RS6
M-B S600 V12

Got $2 tip from the S4 and S600, and a $3 tip from the RS6

On another note a guy with a 1995ish nissan maxima gave me $10 tip.  Let's hear it for cheap rich people.

:o I'm jealous. The S4 is nice too, and the MB is nice, but I couldn't care less about it. If I wanted to drive a car like that, I'm sure my friend would let me borrow his 760iL for a night. But the RS6... well, for some reason I have a special desire for that car. Too bad they were cheapskates though.  <_<

That RS6 has just an awesome engine note, and I just loved listening to it. I'll admit I'm guilty of sitting in it for a little bit listening to the engine. mmmm Bi-turbo V8

There is a a Chevy/Cadillac dealership close to my house the in Kent. The sign looks identical to that one.

I saw a brand new 330xi driving like such a bitch in the rain I wanted to pass him over double yellows.

Usually when you pass you need a car with adequate acceleration capabilities

:D  

[93JC]

'Cept it was white. Man those things were ugly. The Acheiva and Grand Am too.

Over that fucker?  Sure he may have 255bhp, but he obviously didn't know which pedal he had to push on to use them.  I was in an emergency situation and if it weren't raining I would have passed him.

I found out my mom was in the ER.

I saw one of those (a white one) on fire once. Something in the engine blew up, and it blew a hole in the grille and burnt for a while. I always thought of the Skylark as "the exploding car" after that.

Spotted yesterday in Berlin (o.k. it was a showroom...)

<< Volkswagen Eos >>

<< Bugatti >>

[Raza]

Oh, that's right--I saw my first Fusion the other day.  

[BMWDave]

Oh, that's right--I saw my first Fusion the other day.

I saw one today as well-its a very nice looking vehicle, one of the best looking mainsteam sedans IMO.

I also saw a Ferrari 360 Modena, Porsche 996 Turbo S and a BMW 850CSI  

[TBR]

It seems like I've seen a Fusion somewhere. It is a good looking car.

[Raza]

Yeah, it is a pretty good looking car.  Though I'd still step into a Mazda6 before it.

[Fire It Up]

Grand National
Charger Daytona

[mazda6er]

Yeah, it is a pretty good looking car.  Though I'd still step into a Mazda6 before it.

Me too.  

If I understand correctly, there's a noticeable handling difference, although the Fusion is obviously still more than adequate.

The Fusion is bigger and softer, that's what it boils down to.

I was in  Ft. Lauderdale today and last weekend and saw a lot of amazing cars here are some of the highlights:

Diablo
Gallardo
a lot of 360's
2 F430's
2 M5's
2 Flying Spurs
2 Quattroporte's
SL65
S65
new XK8
STS-V

and a ridiculous amount of corvettes, vipers, 911's, MB's, BMW's, CTS-V's, etc.

EDIT:  also a skyline, and a some car that I dont remember the name of it starts with Magna Avusta or something similar to that.

[JYODER240]

I forgot to mention I saw a lot of cars not available in the U.S. in some of the islands, they looked very similar to US Spec but left hand drive and different front and rear ends.

Wow! That is a list    

[Rupert]

In Vancouver over the weekend I saw a Carrera GT, a few Ferraris, a Ford GT, a Rolls something, a new Maserati 'vert, and a bunch of tacky limos with drunk people in them. The Carrera GT revved its engine a bit (good), and then took off like an old lady while revving (lame-o).

Not sure, I passed it on the other side of the highway. It looked fairly new though.

[Rupert]

This it?

[JYODER240]

yep, it was even that color.

Uses a Cobra engine, like the Panoz (Pay-nose) Esperante.
