Spotted Today!

Spotted a new GT500 today. It was a few cars ahead of me in traffic. I initially thought it might be a GT350, so I cracked a window to listen to the exhaust note. Didn't sound like an FPC V8 and the upshifts sounded like an automatic (way too fast for an MT being driven gently in suburban traffic).

Saw a Red 2020 Corvette the other day. In a handicapped spot at the Fort commissary.

Amazing machine!

Hopefully it was authorized to park there.

Yup. Thought it was amusing though.

I love that car.

I sat in the backseat of one. It's an unbelievable interior packaging fail..

Massive exterior. Subcompact interior.

Yeah Fiskers are sexy as sex gets on the outside. Saw one parked at a famous breakfast place outside of Nashville- that is so "cool" they had a car charger in 2012.

Literally! "Due to the very small cabin interior volume, the EPA rated the Fisker Karma as a subcompact car."

LOL

I tried to squeeze in the backseat in one. I couldn't believe it. Head was pinned to the headliner and knees digging into the seat. It was almost like sitting in the back of the BRZ

Audi 200. Gorgeous.

Looks like the result of an unholy union of a '67 Barracuda and a '74 4 door Maverick.

Should have worn a car condom!

Jeep Wagoneer Quadra-Trac

^Always had a soft spot for them, especially in the '60s. Don't know what year that one is.

The license plate had a "72" reference, so could this perhaps be of a 1971-1973 vintage?

Not a real Jeep then.

They made those Wagoneers until '91, that one looks like a later model. Like the Plymouth Duster, these are gaining value fast.

cawimmer430 · April 25, 2020, 11:28:37 AM

The condition was superb!

Citroën Traction Avant 11 BL Légère

Porsche 911T Targa in a gorgeous red!

Mercedes-Benz Unimog from the early 1960s according to the driver inside. He still daily drives this thing for his business!

Wow, German does not lend itself well to space efficient labeling.

Haha very precise.

Laconian · April 28, 2020, 07:25:23 PM

The Porsche Targa is a stunner. It's pretty amazing how true the modern 911 Targa stays to the old look.

shp4man · April 28, 2020, 08:05:26 PM

Reminds me of that scene in the movie U-571 where the German-American kid from Pennsylvania translates the sub's controls and valves into English for the rest of the crew.

If there isn't a word for something in German, they literally just combine words that describe it. While precise, it gets really really ridiculous.

We say grocery store. They say Lebensmittelgeschaft, which basically translate to "food business", but Lebensmittel is not even food, it basically says "means to life" or something like that.
