February 3, 200719 yr We are all going to post our best photos in this thread from today's scavenger hunt. It took place from 9:00am - 2:00pm & we ended up partnering up. Marcia wanted nothing to do with it but me & S.P. used the Q45 and teamed up while XP & his G/F Amanda used her 2005 Impala & Dodgefan & his G/F Jessica (notice she joined the forum recently) used the Intrepid. Wait until the 3 teams have posted their best 40 photos and a list of other interesting finds, then choose who you think found the most interesting & bizzare photo ops. & items.

February 3, 200719 yr Yes, I have finally joined.. after hearing about it and reading this forum with Dodgefan, I decided 'what the heck' I might as well join. Plus it is a pretty cool forum. So yeah.. I am pretty excited to see yours and Speeding Penguin's pics, as well as XP's. I have to say this scavenger hunt was a real blast, I am happy that we got in on the fun. Oh and btw our pics look a LOT better when on the comp, the camera just really sucks. lol
February 3, 200719 yr Oh, another BTW our pics won't be uploaded until 2nite, sadly, He just had to go to work too soo. If he had another 30mins, he could have done it but it just was not there. So they will be loaded around 11:00 or so. Sorry but it just happened that way, (and I dont know how to do it and he wants the pics loaded in a certain way so yeah) sorry
February 4, 200719 yr Too sleepy...will post tomorrow...goodnight *falls asleep at keyboard* hhyguj777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
February 4, 200719 yr Author Okay, here are Team Speeding-Panther's official submissions. In chronological order 1. Strangest object we saw strapped to a roof all day. 2. Orphaned Bumper Cover. 3. Yes, I scored me a free snowbrush! 4. Rudolph Crossing. 5. Good Samaritan in a Freightliner helps out a minivan driver. 6. Official plate. It was on the back of this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/ssilvik/DSCN4238.jpg 7. Best "DANGER" sign. 8. Our hike was 85% over, we're almost to the Wrights Observation Tower. 9. Funniest hand-made sign of the day. 10. We went through hell & back to get this photo. 11. --- You just can't make this kind of stuff up!!! A Honda Minivan with dual exhausts, 20" rims & mirror tint is one thing but a sticker on the rear window of Calvin taking a leak on the HONDA emblem? AWSOME!!! 12. Busted up Camry. (it's not my surcharge so it's funny) 13. "C. BUTTS REALESTATE" Edited February 4, 200719 yr by Sixty8panther
February 4, 200719 yr Author 14. Cop car parked illegally. Typical Boston, (Medford Technically). 15. Fuselage Body Mopar, SCORE HUGE!!! But I forgot to include those in the final list, DAMN. It was for sale too. 16. This '67 Camaro was not for sale but Z-Lock was in LOVE with it. I would not know anything about being obsessed with 1st gen F-bodys 17. Double whamy. It's a bustleback Lincoln & a "Presidential Edition" canvas top. Lincoln really is the O.G. of tacky. 18. Skion Taxi... you just can not make this stuff up! There's so many things I have to add to the revised list for next time. 19. Broken Down Tow Truck, another item that was on the original ball point pen "hardcopy" of the list but I somehow missed when putting together the fianal version. No matter. BTW: As far as the little Pig, Marcia has an obssession with pigs, she drives the Q45 more than any of the other vehicles so that's where it stays. That pig has sat on many a dashboard, from her Mazda MX3 GS when I met her to 4 years in the STS. 20. Of course after we saw this & laughed about it some hot bubble-but girl was walking down the street & I made the ubiquitous "I'd love to give HER a big load" joke. 21. Okay, okay.... it's no Dodge Omni Shelby GLH but when is the last time you saw a first gen. Plymouth Laser in this kind of condition & wearing its original paint & sport stripe? I bet many tired old 1970 Hemi Cudas were traded at the Plymouth dealer for one of these marvel's of modern engineering. 22. Six door funeral coach? This would have been a touchdown if it was RWD. 23. Oversized American Flag. We got lucky on this one, that's the very first time I ever saw it there... Good eagle eyes Mr. O'Shea. 24. BUNKER HILL COMMUNITY COLLEGE Shazzaaaaam! 25. Civic "Mini-Minivan" Station Wagon riding on some super classy 17" rims. 26. Toyota Cressida 2nd gen. Basically a Camry with an inline-six & RWD. If Toyota still made affordable sedans with RWD & inline-six motors they would be about 1,000,000,000 times cooler than they really are.
February 4, 200719 yr Author 27. You wanna see a brass-era Kissle-Kar race car? Bring $5 to the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum in Brookline Mass and you will not be dissapointed. There's only about a three dozen "vehicles" in their collection right now but they are worth every penny of your $5. 28. Yes, that's right, it's a blood red STUTZ race car! 29. Renault Town Car (1912 IIRC) I'd LOVE to buy & register this car and drive it exactly as is, except with a BB 454 and T10 tranny. On a side note only the damn French would mount the radiator BEHIND the motor. 30. French cars are worth 10 points, but this is not a 1991 Peugeot. This however, was a Citroen (x10) and pre-war (x10) so it's a cool 1000 points for this puppy. 31. This buckboard certainly was NOT "horseless drive". 32. I'd love to try riding one of these someday, but only if it involved wearing a tuxedo, monacle & tophat while sporting an elaborate mustache. 33. One off prototype built in Wolfsburg by VW in 1972. This was to be a sports car based on the RWD, air-cooled H4 powered Beetle design. I guess it's the grandfather of the much less cool Scirroco & Corrado. 34. --- Back on the road here's a GMC Suburban DIESEL! 35. This poor Special has been crahsed, alowed to rust & daily driven in Boston. How sad... no 1960s Buick should be subjected to this kind of abuse. 36. I wish my house had a giant fiberglass Cow's head on it. 37. There was a live dog inside the Excursion & the rear tilt out window was flapping in the breeze like a white flag in Paris. 38. In Dorchester you have to be handi-capable to vote. 39. Accordion Bus! 40. Two door B-body? Baaam! x10 because it's in motion in the photograph? OH YEAH!
February 4, 200719 yr the pic with the honda and the sticker on it was fun as hell! and hey.. what is funny about the Scion xB taxi cab? lol.. (btw i LOVE xB's!!!!!)
February 5, 200719 yr Author It's a car that should be driven by clowns in a circus, not on New England roads as a taxi. I sure as hell would expect the fare to be damn cheap if my Taxi cab is a Scion! The xB is the only semi-cool Scion though, cute as a button. Who Knew Mrs. M. Cooper & Mr. C. Astrovan would make a good looking baby!?

February 6, 200719 yr I HATE THE MINI COOPER!! EWWWWWWWWWWW O well though.. and the ASTROVAN... that is all I have to say.. lolyou hate mini coopers, but love your prizm?
February 6, 200719 yr Author DF, Jessi: Throw your photos up here when you get a chance. Top 40 or whatever. Where the hell are XP's photos? Is his G/F still having computer problems?
February 8, 200719 yr Hey.. no one is supposed to vote until ALL votes are in, right? so yeah.... And hopefully XP will be getting his freakin pics up soon..?
February 15, 200719 yr Author Wow... no joke? Damn people in the early 20th century hated change huh? Great story but still, placing the radiator there MAKES zero sense. Maybe in the Yukon or Siberia it makes sense but not in France! Edited February 15, 200719 yr by Sixty8panther
