Spotted Today!

I thought Clarkson didn't much like the GTO?

Irony?

[Madman]

Dammit, why didn't you turn the camera slightly to the right and get the rest of that gorgeous Volvo 240 wagon in the shot?  I'll expect better from you next time! 

[Mustangfan2003]

Saw a brand new Charger today, not sure what the think about the front end.

I was taking a risk photographing that BMW while driving. It's not easy taking pictures while in motion with the camera of my smart phone! 


Spotted today!

My grandfather had a 450 SLC in that dark blue color.

Sweet! It's one of the most underappreciated MBs ever. Did he have a US-spec horsepower-emasculated 450SLC or a gray market Euro import?

[sportyaccordy]

Yea the SLC is probably my favorite Mercedes coupe of all time. Seriously I can't think of one I'd rather have. HAS to be a Euro import though.

And it has to be the 450SLC 5.0! 

[sportyaccordy]

I have been seeing a lot of SWB new 7 series and 5 series BMWs.... the new corporate look is definitely growing on me, though I wish the designs had a bit more "tension". The general profile and details are fine, but the surfacing is too organic. They look very European though, FWIW... just not "teutonic"...

[cawimmer430]

I also saw a Hyundai Grandeur but didn't get it on film...

[Laconian]

I see enough Tesla Roadsters now that I'm like "mehhhh".

Still don't know any owners though, I would love to ride along in one and experience that dimensional warp acceleration.

I got to ride along in a Tesla Roadster once. It's fast as hell and very quiet. The only noises you hear are road/tire noises and the wind because the car picks up speed so fast. 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds I think.

[ifcar]

I'm expecting to get either a drive or a ride of a Tesla tomorrow at the opening of its first D.C.-area showroom. Should be interesting.

How tall are you? Tesla Roadsters are so damn small it's almost insulting. I'm 6'4" and I felt like a sardine in it. But the drive is pretty cool. Thing seems to handle well and is damn fast!

5'11/6'.

You might just be small enough to label the car as "roomy". 

[the Teuton]

E60 M5 and B6 S4 parked one behind the other at the school library last night.

Also, 1995 Discovery with a 5-speed manual (yes, I have a pic), a Dodge equivalent to the Volare, and a Panamera S.

[CALL_911]

I saw a B7 RS4 on campus today.

Also, this kid in one of my classes drives a C6 'Vette. Pretty cool.

[cawimmer430]

And a last-generation Hyundai Sonata. Damn I'm so the exotic spotter! 

[ifcar]

Two Mitsubishi Raiders in three blocks.

[Mustangfan2003]

Two Mitsubishi Raiders in three blocks.

So you saw about half of the Raiders ever sold. 

[the Teuton]

New Volvo S60. Kinda cool looking.

[2o6]

Dodge Raider.

[Onslaught]

Red Ferrari California

AHHHHH, MY EYES!!!!!!!!

I hope the owner of this monstrosity doesn't have small children.  Imagine their frustration when they try to open the back door and can't find the handle.  When they finally do locate it they will discover they can't reach it because some turtleneck-wearing artsy-fartsy designer though it would be "cool" to put the door handle all the way up, NEAR THE FUCKING ROOF!!!

And if the owner doesn't have children then he never will.  Why, you ask?  Do you really think you're ever going to get laid driving a clownmobile like this?

Saw a new Honda Accord today. But it was a dealer car. 

[Onslaught]

I think the Juke looks ok from the back and side. Not so sure about that front end however.

[2o6]

It's an automotive butterface.

Are your kids infants? The Juke isn't as tall as most modern station wagons.

No, my kids are 13 and 15 now, but for people with smaller children this will be a real issue.  Maybe Nissan is marketing this as some form of population control?  Like I already pointed out, you're never going to get laid driving a Nissan Juke, thus guaranteeing a life of celibacy.  Since you won't be having kids anyway, there's no need to locate a door handle where they can reach it.  The rear doors probably aren't functional, anyway.  Nissan gave the Juke the appearance of having rear doors so that their owners can make a sad, pathetic attempt at convincing others they have friends and a social life.  Of course, they won't have any kind of life because their ridiculous clown car has marked them as a social pariah.

Viola!  Fewer children roaming the Earth.  The planet is saved.  Thanks, Nissan!

I thought I read something about Nissan focus-grouping the styling with men and that men like this.  Clearly they found a unique group of men that doesn't seem to relate well with the rest of us.
