Sry about the lame thread title this month, but nonetheless, let's "hunt" the yard (and highways) for some tasty morsels. Have you spotted any cool cars? Post your spots here.

'68 Chevelle SS hardtop, metallic green, Magnum 500s, gorgeous, rolling.

Believe it or not I saw the same car in Mesa at Christmastime...

Cool...both times I've seen it I've seen it in Chandler.

Saw this little ION Redline just the other day. So I took a picture.

'66 Plymouth Satellite hardtop, white, tired & sleeping on side of house.

Plymouth Prowler, 'black cherry', rollin' past my house.

50s MG in red, top down and rolling at a good clip - looked primo.

Perfect '50 Ford Tudor, black, stock, parked.

'29 Ford Fordor, grey & black, mildly rodded, rolling.

My neighbor just took his Ford GT out for a blast around the neighborhood - Man! does that thing sound fantastic!

Saw a gorgeous mid 60s Dodge Dart convertible out and about today, top down, red/red/red. Saw a sharp pale blue '66 Mustang coupe, a yellow/white Metropolitan conv, top down. Saw a dark gray new Maserati Gran Turismo convertible, top down, tan interior.

'61 Ford Fowl-coon, 2-dr sedan, bright orange, perfect shape, happily cruisin.

'62 Chevy II four door sedan, Marina Blue with late model Rally wheels and the rear door handles shaved.

A REALLY old Pontiac (I'm guessing from the '30s). Kinda looked like a Series 603.

First car I ever drove.

Saw a black '10 Camaro driving along missing the rear bumper, left rear quarter smashed in, big scrape and crease over the wheel arch, big dent in the driver's door..duct tape on the driver's mirror housing. Interesing.

Didn't take long for the F3 Camaro's traditional owners to hear that a new model had been released, did it?

saw my first crosstour... and a camaro that was green w/ black hood stripes.... the camaro looked kinda bad ass. lol

This is crazy BUT...a white Buick Terraza. A few things:

(1) they are fairly rare, it seems,

(2) if I had to buy this genre, it would be this (since the Silhouette is gone), and

(3) I was looking at the grille...and the blacked-out treatment, contrasting the white paint, looked great. I wish they had used this treatment for the LaCrosse instead of the bright chrome featured in the grille.

Saw a very clean black Tahoe LT 4x4 2dr w/ barn doors, late '90s. Really clean condition, looked nearly new. Tinted windows, gray interior.

'68 Delta 88 convertible.

Newish Aston Martin

Yesterday I saw my first new LaCrosse on the road that wasn't silver.

Come to think of it, they've (2010)all been silver. I'm having a tough time digesting this new car.

Saw a dark gray one yesterday.. quite striking on the road. First one I saw on the road a couple months ago was gold, and maybe 3 silver ones so far. I like the profile and rear moreso than the front end.

'95 4runner SR5 Limited with Gold Package, bright red. Tiny older Asian guy driving it. Had light rear end damage over crappy prior bodywork. I chuckled at his "MADE IN JAPAN" bumper sticker and "Calvin peeing" decal on his tailgate (I assume he is peeing on anyone who disagrees that Japanese products are top notch).

I'm so happy we have to peel those off in order to paint his tailgate after repairing it.

Yesterday...unbelievable and very funny...

...a 1970-ish Dodge Dart coupe, in baby blue, with white upper paint (not even a vinyl top) in MINT condition...I was waiting to see who was driving the car and it was a 20-something (very)red-haired chick who worked as a checker or grocery clerk at the very Safeway I was going into for a deli sandwich.

From last weekend, out errand running & shopping.

New dark blue Sonata at Wal-Mart. Great lines. Not a great color and doesn't help it stand out, but a looker regardless, for a mid-size sedan. Well, in any other color but faded dark blue.

White Diamond Tri-Coat '10 Malibu 2LT V6 at a grocery store. Local "old lady" car, equipped identically to the Summit White '09 I had for a brief time, but in the fancy color. I like. High class.

Then a black '09 CTS-V with MD tags firing & backing out of a space at Wal-Mart as I walked from my truck. Hot.

Yes ...................... pictures.

Another. Went for Chinese yesterday with co-workers. In the parking lot, one goes "hey, park next to that other Avalanche" and then they commented on cladding being ugly, etc. After we came back, a 3rd had showed up to make a row and there was a black '08 LTZ with a lift kit right behind mine. Great shot. Av family.

"The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning. Watch for whiteout conditions, with triple the chance for an Avalanche..."

'02 T/A, yellow, shoe-polished numbers on the rear glass, rollin'.

'72 Cutlass coupe, gold, excellent shape, taking a long drink @ Hess.

'70 Mustang convert, red, very nice driver, in parking lot w/ top down.

'68-69 Chevy C-10, beige roof/bronze body, beauty, aftermarket rims, rollin'.

'68-69 Chevy C-10, white w/ white steelies, real solid but unrestored, parked & for sale.

'68 Corvette, bright red coupe, perfect/stock, rollin'.

'66 Charger, pale yellow, perfect, factory spinner 'caps, rollin'.

1st generation Dodge Viper in red. Nice!

New 4 Runner. Not nice!

Also on Friday, the day of rain to start, followed a black Viper convertible to work. I think I've seen it once before. Whoever it was, seemed to have just decided it was Viper to work day, rain regardless. In all black, takes you getting up close for it to stand out.

Went to the Copperstate 1000 road rally starting event and car show this morning at Tempe Diablo Stadium. Went last year, bigger turn out this year.

Some absolutely incredible cars this year-- a couple dozen vintage Ferraris (a '63 Lusso, a '56 Superamerica, a few 365 GTB and GTSes ('Daytonas'), a couple dozen Porsches (356s and 911s), a '66 Ford GT40 427, Aston Martins, a one-off Bentley fastback from the '50s, a Fiat Zagato, Jag XK-SS, several Jag XK120/140/150s, an Austin Healey 100, 2 Mercedes SL gullwings and 2 SL convertibles of the same vintage, several Cobras (289 and 427), several '65-66 Shelby Mustangs. A '38 Cord Winchester sedan, a Packard 120 Darrin convertible, another Packard 4dr convertible, a '70 Trans Am. Probably $20-30 million or more worth of rare cars out there today, actually being driven around AZ... a kid or other clueless person had dropped their ice cream cup on the hood of a silver Aston Martin DB6 convertible.

In the car show in the parking lot, cars not in the rally were pretty interesting also...everything from a very clean silver blue '62 Impala, a blue '61 Catalina convertible, to a couple '80s Testarossas, duece coupe hot rods, '55-56 Nomads, a 39 Pontiac street rod, a Milner coupe replica, a 1930 Dodge roadster w/ a 30 Cadillac V16, etc.

A good car geek experience.

Sheer Silver 2010 Colorado Z71 4X4 extended cab at a local dealer.

Darn it, I want a truck.

Charcoal grey and silver Audi R8 in the maze of my friend's cookie cutter suburban sprawl new subdivision in Burlington where no home is worth more than 700K.

Predictably red Ferrari Mondial- top down, cruising.

Late 50s Chrysler product ( a Desoto, I think)- 4dr., Black and silver, clean, cruising at a good clip.

75ish Chevy Nova - dark blue or black, rally wheels, clean, cruising.

Saw all three within 20 minutes this evening.

This morning it was a factory stock '57 Bel Air post sedan in yellow with white top. This evening it was a cream color Jeep Comanche Pioneer in really nice shape.

Today, a 1977 Mercury Cougar in tri-cream, with the padded landau roof, in MINT condition while I was parking at the post office.

I nodded to the person who also got out of the car and he proceeded to tell me that he inherited it from his mom, that it had the 400 V8 and not the 351 V8, and that it ONLY had 73,000 miles!

He said it's a hobby car and that it's not his daily driver.

I had forgotten how long the hood is on FoMoCo personal luxury coupes of those years. Yikes.

They did have a huge snout.

1958 Cadillac Coupe de Ville in Cochrane today...

A pristine early Baracuda in red, out for a saturday cruise.

Another '61 Fowl-coon, 4-dr sedan, primer, missing grille, on trailer, sad.

Saw a clean '49-52 Chevy 2dr fastback in light blue, good condition. Drove past a driveway w/ an interesting mix of oldies--a '66-67 Riviera in primer, no windows or bumpers, in progress...a clean faded gold '66 Toronado, a small '50s car in primer (I think it was a Henry J), and a clean black '67 Eldorado.
