February 1, 201214 yr I think we have an extra day in February this year to post some cool and unusual vehicle spottings, but don't wait 'til the 29th, why not start now? Put down that Whitman's Sampler, and post away right here!
February 1, 201214 yr Surprisingly, never noticed this on the Yukon XL headlights: (sorry for the crappy cell camera shot; I'm referencing the GMC logo on top of the turn signal unit) Edited February 1, 201214 yr by GMTruckGuy74
February 1, 201214 yr Cool, I a going to have to go back and look at my vehciels and see what kind of special details like this they have. Thanks for sharing
February 2, 201214 yr The Yukon XL was still parked near my Envoy, so I got a closer and clearer picture: I know the Terrain has the GMC logo in the tail lights, and many of the past couple of years worth of concepts had it in either of these places (Sierra HD All Terrain has it in the headlights, the Denali XT had it in the tail lights). I wonder if the Acadia or the Sierra have logos on them? I will investigate this over the weekend when I go to the Philly Auto Show
February 2, 201214 yr on two separate occasions, three different CTS coupes at the same intersection. (none the same one twice, I am assuming.) Sales of those things must be really starting to pick up as of late. Haven't seen any V coupes yet though. Edited February 2, 201214 yr by Turbojett
February 3, 201214 yr Cruising into Philly my 2nd time today, behind a gold STS, this black STS-V came up beside darting around everyone. First V I've seen in a long, long time and looked great with chromed factory wheels and blacked windows.
February 3, 201214 yr I don't know how many Pintos are running around here but I saw another red 74 hatch back with historical tags being the white with green text. the last one just had current OH tags and was rougher this was a clean one for sure.
February 9, 201214 yr Whilst rolling home tonight, saw some drivers were out enjoying the cool winter weather in their oldies...saw a lowered aqua and white '59 Buick 2dr (on large wire wheels), a dark red w/ black vinyl top '67 GTO, and a gold '71 Caprice..all hardtops w/ all the windows down. Edited February 9, 201214 yr by Cubical-aka-Moltar
February 9, 201214 yr (2) new 2013 Malibu Eco's rolling off the delivery truck next door at Chevy, mixed in with other base model 2012 Malibu's. Red and a white one. Now, how long until the current/old ones are renamed Classic like last time... Edited February 9, 201214 yr by caddycruiser
February 9, 201214 yr Saw an old DeSoto today on Highway 99 near edmonds. Sure do not see to many like that anymore. Needed some TLC, but over all still in pretty good shape for as old as it is.
February 9, 201214 yr (2) new 2013 Malibu Eco's rolling off the delivery truck next door at Chevy, mixed in with other base model 2012 Malibu's. Red and a white one. Now, how long until the current/old ones are renamed Classic like last time... ...and the time before that

February 10, 201214 yr On the NJ Turnpike yesterday a little past the Newark airport, coming home from a 2-day offsite training in NYC, I spotted a car carrier with two new 2012 Fisker Karmas - one white, the other a silver-gray color - int he Trucks/Buses lane. I still love the look of these very expensive cars.

I still love the look of these very expensive cars. Cool. I want to see one of these on the road...
February 14, 201214 yr Black Lacrosse Super...haven't seen one in SO long...or this might actually only be the second one I've ever seen driving. On the road in Philly Superbowl Sunday. Then this past Thursday, driving back from Atlantic City a big black Hyundai Equus rolling along the Expressway. Big. Also the first I've seen in motion.
February 14, 201214 yr Saw an Original 70's era Datsun Pickup Truck. Looked like it had just been repainted and was in awesome shape.
February 14, 201214 yr Was behind a very clean '77 white w/ red top Buick Electra 4dr this morning on the freeway...
February 14, 201214 yr Watching a train of New 737 bodies going by on a train bound for Renton Boeing Plant.
February 14, 201214 yr Went for a stroll at lunch today and saw a couple blocks from my office a ZipCar site being set up in an ASU parking lot...had a car hauler unloading Focuses, Civics and a Tesla roadster w/ ZipCar logos...interesting..
February 15, 201214 yr Then this past Thursday, driving back from Atlantic City a big black Hyundai Equus rolling along the Expressway. Big. Also the first I've seen in motion. That looks like just west of exit 9B heading westbound on the North-South Freeway, not technically part of the Atlantic City Expressway. ;-) Oddly, I saw my first Equus the other day... BRIGHT white, driving past the WTC site. Was a pretty nice looking car. Unfortunately, the driver was a complete idiot.
February 16, 201214 yr shadowed/flyby'd by a pair of riced out RX8's. farting the whole way, no less. way to ruin your seals guys.
February 16, 201214 yr an amazing 60 impala sport coupe crossed my path today. sky blue, white trim and interior.
February 16, 201214 yr 1976 Oldmobile Station wagon with fake wood grain on the side in pretty decent shape. Brings back memories of growing up sitting in that rear facing 3rd seat.
February 17, 201214 yr extremely clean and incredibly unremarkable '79 LeMans sedan, still wearing factory wire wheel covers, FAR out in the HD lot to avoid door dings.
February 17, 201214 yr Author Silver Fiat 500 with chromium gas door. Yellow Fiat 500 @ the local Enterprise office. Miniature. One of those dumb iQs at the local Scion suppository. And, at the Datsun dealer, a new blue Leaf (it blows.) I wish somebody would turn over that new Leaf.
February 18, 201214 yr '64 Impy convert, black over yellow, fresh from paint; missing all it's trim bits.
February 18, 201214 yr Author '63-'67 Corvette roadster coming toward me, blue, sans hood. Prolly on a shakedown cruise. Not long after that, a dark gold '66 Cutlass coupe.
February 18, 201214 yr Saw not 1 but two very clean and sharp late '80s Camaro convertibles today, tops down. A white RS and a black Z-28, both w/ aftermarket 18 inch or so IROC-style wheels.
February 19, 201214 yr Walking out of a restaurant today and caught a Jaguar S-Type R (My personal favorite) Also, Alfa Romeo Giulietta while on the interstate
February 19, 201214 yr Author Silver Datsun X-Trail with stuff on the roof rack and indeterminate license plates. How it got in northern Maryland is anyone's guess.
February 21, 201214 yr Silver Audi RS parked in front of my work place, very clean and detailed, the rain should muddy it up later today here in Seattle.
February 21, 201214 yr Noticed the front row at the local Chevy store this morning--2 '13 Malibus--one white and one dark red (like the magazine road test cars), a bright red Camaro LS, a black Camaro SS convertible, and a black Volt...
February 22, 201214 yr Was sitting at a light and glanced to my right and spotted a dark red Jensen Interceptor coupe and a white British convertible of some sort in a fenced in lot behind a strip joint...
February 22, 201214 yr Speaking of leaping, I caught this Jaguar X-Type Vanden Plas (it said so in the pin-strip) with rear mounted hood ornament just in case you forgot it was a Jaguar when the old bag behind the wheel passed you.
February 22, 201214 yr Speaking of odd badging, was behind a current style F150 today that had Z71 decals on the rear fenders...
February 22, 201214 yr Speaking of leaping, I caught this Jaguar X-Type Vanden Plas (it said so in the pin-strip) with rear mounted hood ornament just in case you forgot it was a Jaguar when the old bag behind the wheel passed you. Not the same Vanden Plas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanden_Plas_%28band%29
February 22, 201214 yr Saw a red Scion iQ this mornign...strange tiny car. Also saw a very clean pale green w/ black top '74 Olds 98.
February 23, 201214 yr Speaking of leaping, I caught this Jaguar X-Type Vanden Plas (it said so in the pin-strip) with rear mounted hood ornament just in case you forgot it was a Jaguar when the old bag behind the wheel passed you. I wouldn;t be surprised if it was aftermarket. car mascots, much like flags, are always supposed to be charging.
February 23, 201214 yr Saw a red Scion iQ this morning...strange tiny car. Also saw a very clean pale green w/ black top '74 Olds 98. And saw a white iQ this afternoon, along w/ a bright green Spark...

I wouldn;t be surprised if it was aftermarket. car mascots, much like flags, are always supposed to be charging. Most likely...pretty sure the Vanden Plas and 'VDP' badging usage are bogus also, IIRC Jag had a Vanden Plas version of the XJ but not the X-type....and Vanden Plas was a coachbuilder and a car brand long ago..
February 23, 201214 yr Got my first good, long look at a Ford Fiesta... wow they are narrow from the rear.
February 24, 201214 yr Saw a solid, straight '64 Olds F85 2dr sedan this afternoon...could have been the original light blue paint, w nearly 50 years of sun fade...
