This morning I saw a beige '74 or '75 Catalina 4dr w/ dog dish hubcaps..odd sight to see in the commute. Saw a sharp brown Enclave in the parking lot at work w/ a temp tag, someone had a Merry Xmas.

Toyota Estima, Honda Stream, Nissan Micra, Brilliance BS6, Buick GL8...

Hmmm..you in Asia?

Went out for some take-out Thai tonite and on the way home, saw a goregous '69/70 silver w/black top Olds 98 4dr ht cruising along...pretty cool to see a car as old as I am on out and about.

My Grandparents' old 2001 Caravan Sport being sold @ a GM Dealer for more than it's worth.

I've been seeing lots of GMX322s and Malibus.

Saw two Malibus recently...one at home and one on the road.

I'm starting to see more Focuses, too.

Also, early 90s Honda Accord wagon on the northbound side of I-35 last week...burnt to a crisp.

I've been seeing a lot of Caravans/T&C's and a few Focuses too.

Also, I got the chance to see the interior of a few vehicles today.. One being the Malibu. Great feel to it, and I was very impressed. I had a feeling it was still going to feel cheap and whatnot, but I was very enthused with it.

The second was the Challenger interior. Well, not the full interior, but enough to judge it. I'm not impressed, and it's IP material feels cheaper than the Malibu's, though it does have a thick padding to it. Oh, and don't expect it to look exactly like this:

Two '77 Coupe de Villes, one blue, the other I forget but it was still ugly

Brown/woodie AMC Eagle wagon

Today I saw a nice black Buick Enclave, with the chrome on that SUV and the glossy black paint I looked wonderful.

75 Impy...many 08 Bu's....

a burgandy Tiffany

a white '74 Coupe Deville

-1968 Buick Wildcat two-door

-Early 1980's Pontiac Parisienne station wagon that looked like it hit everything but the lottery

Today I saw a nice black Buick Enclave, with the chrome on that SUV and the glossy black paint I looked wonderful.

I just saw a white one...

Local dealer has two Astra 5-doors. One silver base (the wheel covers scream WALMART), and a blue XR. The silver car was totally coma-inducing, in and out. The blue one, only slightly less boring. The interior is perfect for a funeral, very plain and very black. I mean, I have black interior in the Sierra, but it seems nowhere near as sad as the Astra's.

Hmmm..you in Asia?

Yep. Add to that list the new GT-R, new M3, new A4, new Evo..

I'm never going into a junkyard without my camera phone again.

The SHORT list:

1964 Ford short bed (with a 3-speed on the column and a dent in the door)

1970 El Camino SS

1974 Malibu Classic sedan in pea soup green

1978 Chevy C30 tow truck with no doors, windows, or front clip, still being used daily to drag wrecks around

1991 Suburban sitting on blocks with fresh (December 08 expiration) inspection and tags, front clip laying on the ground in front of it

Lots of 08 Malibus. Two XLRs, lots of Caravans around here (they look kinda nice, but I dunno, little too boxy for my taste), lots and lots and lots of Acadias, couple of Enclaves (I really really really like those). Unfortunately no classics spotted yet, but I'm keeping the eyes peeled for them.

1980s Autocar 10-wheeler dump

1968 Buick Wildcat hardtop (same one) red/black

1990s Mitsu 3000GT with a rear wing that was about 3 feet tall

1972 Cadillac deVille 4-dr hardtop (UPS drivers'daily driver year round, I see it everyday)

1973? BMW 2002, safety orange

1963? Ford Falcon two-door hardtop white/red

At the junkyard:

1986? Chevy Caprice Classic 2-door

1978 Datsun King Cab pickup 5-speed... complete

three 1980s Mercedes hardtops from the 1990s (two 300CEs and one 560SEC)

1976? Pontiac two door fullsize

too many semi-complete B-bodys to list

1976 Corvette (rotted to death, fiberglass body in pieces)

1961 Mercedes sedan (with the goofy tailfins)

three (or was it four) 1980-85 Cadillac Bustleback Sevilles

1980s BMW 635, pretty stripped

Went out for some take-out Thai tonite and on the way home, saw a goregous '69/70 silver w/black top Olds 98 4dr ht cruising along...pretty cool to see a car as old as I am on out and about.

I'd love to see that... I miss my '64 Super-88 Holiday.

Had some fun roadtrips in that car, now it's the Netherlands.

'79 Caprice Classic coupe in gray/black two-tone with red interior... sweetness.

Silver '07 Mercedes-Benz S550

Maroon w/ white vinyl roof AMC Eagle sedan

Late-model Grand Prix GT with two rows of four stick-on portholes per fender, for a total of... 16!

Pre-1998 facelift Police Interceptor, still on patrol duty. That thing has to have half a million miles on it by now.

Two-tone gray/silver four door 1977 Caprice

Late-model Grand Prix GT with two rows of four stick-on portholes per fender, for a total of... 16!

No no... you have it wrong, that's definitely the blue devil Cadillac Sixteen mule!

Yesterday, within a mile, I saw a brand new CTS, Malibu, and HHR SS. I was happy.

I saw the new 09 Dodge Ram...not bad, the not out yet 09 Dodge Journey, and a funky M-Class Mercedes with an m-plate on it with some weird hump on the hood. It had to be about 6" tall.

Where'd you see the Mercedes? I saw a similar thing on a Mercedes and BMW last year in the area I work, which is right down the road from the GM/BMW/Mercedes Hybrid Development building.

'07 MB CLS63 AMG, silver

70s-80s (not sure) Jaguar XJ6... with four flats

Dodge Neon SRT-4, white

Got to drive an AWD 300C today.. very nice.

Y'all gettin snow up there?

Not earlier, but it did rain after I was done driving the 300C around. I have no idea what the forecast is though...

I saw a Mini Clubman on the road a couple of days ago.

I had seen 2 at the dealer when I went there to say 'hi' to the sales lady (If you saw her, you'd know why I always go there to say 'hi', hehe) and after seeing it on the road I still think it's cool, but in a weird way... I prefer mine over the Clubman.

Is she your client?

saw a new Liberty while I was in Arkansas. Lots of old Chevy pickups and old Rams too.

Lots of old everything for that matter. It amazes me that what looks like rusted ass up in New England looks very good down there.

About 5 FWD cars stopped at the bottom of a snow-covered hill, afraid or unable to make it up. Of course I squeezed by them in my REAR-WHEEL DRIVE GMC SIERRA WITH G80 LOCKING REAR END and 200 pounds of landscaping gravel in bags in the bed. Yeah, baybee!

So it's all fixed?

Oh yeah, I've had it back for a while now.

saw a red BMW M3 get by a mid-90s Vette this morning, saw a gaggle of turkeys this afternoon in the woods, not much else though.

G6 GXP. 'Nuff said.

Late model Plymouth Volare sedan, in black, with chrome, fullface wheels (about 16", not huge) and a Cadillac V-Series (or G6 GXP) style, mesh crosshatch grille.

1973 Chrysler Newport sedan, in perfect period brown, in beautiful condition, cruising silently, 440 and Torqueflite ready to come alive and pounce at any moment.

A Renault Van in the O.C.

Some retard in a black S-10 with big Suzuki badges on the tailgate and be sides.

Is she your client?

:rotflmao:

no, she's cute

Red Qvale Mangusta.

Cavalier fastback <3

Grey Magnum with Allroad badge on the side O.o

Lot's of Corvettes (two of which were Z06's), 5 SSR's and 4 OUTLOOKs over the weekend.

A couple of uber-rarities:

Mazda 929 with a rather awkward Jaguar leaper hood ornament

Audi Q7

Performance Red G6 GT coupe with Street Package. Looks good, imo. It consists of the Bugs Bunny front fascia, side skirts and rear bumper of the GXP version of the package, but with last year's GTP 18" machined-face rims. The package really brings the car to the ground... so glad it does not include the ugly wing. Also saw some G6 sedans with the Chrome Package, which really brightens up the front end of the car. It consists of chromed lower grilles and a thicker band of chrome around a deep-set upper grille. Looks nice.

Red HHR SS (another autotragic) at the local dealer.

White BMW M3 totally destroyed, sitting at my family farm.

Forgot to mention... black 3 door Astra XR with no options at local dealer. I like the styling of the car, especially from the A-pillars back, and the 17" rims look good. That interior is really blah, though. Looks well put-together, but it is really somber, and the cloth upholstery looks chintzy, imo. Maybe the leather would make it more appealing.
