March 1, 201115 yr Saint Patrick didn't have a decent car, so he moped around with his head hanging down. That's when he spotted a four leaf clover and his luck changed. He got a great deal on a Clover Green Holden Cruze v. 2 while he was on tour in Australia, and the rest is history. SRSLY. March yourself right in here and post your lucky little pots o' gold.
March 2, 201115 yr Saw a Lumina sedan with a large 'GM' white decal on the backlight. I've never seen a 'GM' banner on a car before. Also saw a real sweet '55 DeSoto Fireflite sedan- bright turquoise over white over black. Wish I had gotten a pic.
March 2, 201115 yr A Fusion in Geico livery An old lady driving a Crown Victoria towing a Ram Van full of stuff First new Explorer Edited March 2, 201115 yr by §carlet §wordfish
March 3, 201115 yr A new design Porsche Cayenne, temp tags. I see so many "old" ones, a new one was very apparent. Dual rear axle Escalade limo. Strange.
March 3, 201115 yr Last couple of days have been good for seeing old Ford trucks. 1st was a '59 fleetside, white grille and bumper, body panels in 4 different shades of primer---gray, dark gray/black, primer red, and flat olive green... next was a '68-69 F100 w/ fleetside w/ the neat integrated tool box, kind of an aqua blue and white, very clean shape, probably an older paint job..had vintage gold on blue California plates..next was a '73-74 F350 Camper Special w/ the funky special wheelbase the Camper Special used, in a great '70s two-tone brown and tan..very solid and clean w/ a bit of oxidation..
March 3, 201115 yr Dude in my neighborhood just got a 2011 GT500. Blue, white stripes, red accent striping along the racing stripes. Looks and sounds amazing.
March 5, 201115 yr Author New black Jetta with a buckled hood and broken grille, parked along the street. Must be a pain in the buttocks to wreck your neu car. Also been seeing some of those goofy little chipmunk Outlander Sports. They lack the polarizing looks of the Juke, but they're small, I guess they're perfect for ppl who want to sit up high, have AWD, but don't need something gigantico.
March 5, 201115 yr Saw a white CTS coupe today w/ large black wheels w/ chrome rims. Looked good even though I still think it's too thick and stubby in rear quarters..
March 6, 201115 yr 2nd porsche pan-enema in a week. 1st one, white, was in an industrial-zone of Trenton, pulled over & getting a ticket. 2nd one , dark blue?, was in a tiny rural town, picking up 2 pizzas. porsche officially builds land yachts now- these things are huge & quite bloated.
March 6, 201115 yr Well it is ugly, but land yachts don't handle like Sports cars. That's the one thing I'll give it.
March 6, 201115 yr Wish I could've gotten a pic. White Riviera and white Eldorado in formation with me on the highway. It was early 80's luxury on parade.
March 6, 201115 yr Author EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Fiestas @ the local dealer has the dreadful autotragic transmission... and 4 out of 6 are bright green. I cannot fathom the mindset that lends itself to a small, supposedly fun-to-drive car without a manual transmission.

I cannot fathom the mindset that lends itself to a small, supposedly fun-to-drive car without a manual transmission. It's not a particularly fun car to drive with a manual transmission..... and it's missing a gear when equipped as such.

I cannot fathom the mindset that lends itself to a small, supposedly fun-to-drive car without a manual transmission. That's what I find at every dealer, most are that lime green or that burgundy.. for awhile I thought the Fiesta came in those two colors
March 7, 201115 yr 1959 or 1960 Buick: Cropped: Caught this while I was waiting at a light on my way home from work yesterday. Not a great shot, but at least I got one Edited March 7, 201115 yr by GMTruckGuy74
March 7, 201115 yr A really clean two tone (cream and dark blue) mid '80s 4dr Regal (last of the RWD ones)..
March 8, 201115 yr Beautiful 65 degree spring day today..great convertible weather. Saw 4 interesting GM convertibles out and about, tops down, 2 factory and 2 well-done aftermarket---a red Solstice GXP, a black XLR-v, a dark red late model Eldorado ETC convertible, and a medium red/tan interior current style DTS convertible (1st one of those I've seen in person)...also a couple classics--a clean, unrestored looking '67 Mustang convertible in white w/ a white top, and a sweet pale yellow '66 Impala convertible.
March 8, 201115 yr Saw 6 new Crown Vic "Black & Whites" travelling the opposite way on the local highway followed by a Econoline van... funny seeing them all in a line, no markings or lights but ready for install. I guess a local police dept is getting a new shipment of Ford cop cars. Also saw heading southbound on Route 295 (opposite direction) a mini car hauler with two '80s G-body Buick Regals - one was a black GN, the other a white T-Type, both looking pretty sharp.
March 10, 201115 yr Black Camaro Convertible, freshly delivered, in view of my desk window at the Chevy lot that semi shares a lot with our Acura store. Wowza.
March 11, 201115 yr Stunning new white '11 Durango Citadel turning onto the street & heading past me on the way to work yesterday. Few new Chargers and a 200 out front of a Philly Chrysler dealer I passed today. 200 change is huge, regardless of what some think. Similarly, was beside/behind a new white '11 Avenger Tuesday heading to work--not as much of a change, but somehow paint or otherwise, looked better finished than earlier models. Also a new '11 Journey at night near work, beside me on the road--that huge new 8" screen glowing in the center of the dash. Chrysler week for me so far.
March 11, 201115 yr Just dropped the wife's car off for maintenance- red Camaro RS convertible and a silver CTS-V coupe were there, both looking bitchin'. CTS coupe up close looks better/smaller from the rear than in pics. My spontaneous comment: "It's a friggin UFO", and by that I was very impressed. 'Dynamic' doesn't cover it. There was a dark blue Cruze there- but I didn't have time to check any of them out.
March 11, 201115 yr Picked up the wife's car- CTS-V and the Cruze were wearing Michigan plates. CTS-V is truly an amazing sculpture. Had the black/yellow interior trim. Cruze looked pretty nice, tho not outside of it's segment, IMO. There was a Volt in the service bay- first I've seen- seems a lot more detailed & unique than the prius. I'm going to assume those front grille inserts are plastic, but they were firm & solid enough to make one consider them being metal.

Saw a really clean '74 Malibu 2dr yesterday, white w/ a red interior... I saw a really clean 75 ish Pontiac two door, full size, red with a white vynal top and interior. Parked next to a Miata in someones back yard...
March 14, 201115 yr Saw the above Monte Carlo on the failblog website...I miss the old RWD GM stuff....
March 14, 201115 yr Saw the above Monte Carlo on the failblog website...I miss the old RWD GM stuff.... I always loved these checkerboard rims.
March 14, 201115 yr A black Panamera has started parking in a driveway near my house. I think the same guy also owns a red 911 GT3.
March 15, 201115 yr This certainly tested the braking ability of the Toronado as I drove by...... They are ALWAYS having some sort of tool sale. One near me does quite a few sidewalk sales during the summertime. Unfortunately, they are generally not the greatest tools... or the greatest savings on their tools.
March 15, 201115 yr Ferrari 458 Italia I forgot - Black Audi A7: photographs like sh!t, but it's an amazing-looking car live.
March 15, 201115 yr Dealership less than 5 miles from my house has a sweet looking white Typhoon. Wish GM would bring back a nice two door AWD Performance SUV like that. They mgr at the local Dan Fast Muffler just picked himself up a Black GMC Syclone. Very sweet also.
March 15, 201115 yr Near perfect condition blue Pontiac Sunfire convertible pulling into parking for the Columbus blue Jackets game tonight....
March 16, 201115 yr Lots of Grand Cherokee SRT-8s around lately Same here. 3 in 2 days, all black, all different.
March 16, 201115 yr Lots of Grand Cherokee SRT-8s around lately Same here. 3 in 2 days, all black, all different. I didn't notice how similar the GC and Durango are from behind until I went to the Chrysler dealer a couple weeks ago...
