May 1, 201312 yr I predict some tops will come off this month. Have your eyes ready! Post your interesting and unusual vehicle spots right here.
May 1, 201312 yr 1957 T-bird, white over light blue, had the optional 312, dual quads, optional race kit high-po cam, 1of 8 so equipped. Excellent original condition, 1,300 miles, drag strip car, really cool.
May 1, 201312 yr May Day is electric and hybrid day so far... saw two Tesla roadsters w/ tops open, a black Tesla Model S, a Leaf, a dark red Fisker Karma, 3 Lexus HS250hes, a 1st gen Honda Insight (badging removed and a Transformer badges added along w/ 'ASU' in chrome letters on the rear) and my coworker's new silver Honda Insight (replaced his silver Civic Hybrid that got totalled recently).... all within a 1/2 mile of my office.

May 2, 201312 yr Also saw a Tesla S today, white. If we weren't opposite each other at a light, I would never have noticed it- pretty generic.'50 Merc 2-dr, black, chopped & shiney, Fing sweet, motorin'. I love these, HAVE to get one someday. '66 LeMans 2-dr hardtop, aqua, buddy bought it & we trailered it home. Needs a motor/trans, but is pretty solid for a Jersey oldie. Looking forward to getting a nice 389 in it.
May 6, 201312 yr Saw a white '14 Grand Cherokee on the freeway this morning...didn't realize the '14s were out yet. New headlights are a bit garish w/ the light pipes.
May 6, 201312 yr Good Lord! Forgot that the Renault 19 was sold as a 2 door/convertible in the US. Renault has come a looong way since then
May 6, 201312 yr I haven't seen one of the '80s AMC Renaults in ages...can't recall the last time I saw one.
May 8, 201312 yr Noticed the '14 Impalas were in stock at the local Chevy store..they have 3 in front of the showroom--black, dark red, dark blue. Sharp.
May 12, 201312 yr In a center city parking lot today, another Regal GS with NY plates in Black Diamond, as I left. Rare birds. Earlier on the street walking, a Murano Cross Cabriolet with all windows and top down, just sitting there in a space. Talk about wide open space from above...
May 14, 201312 yr Saw a black & red Ariel Atom in traffic this morning...first time I'd ever seen one on the road...what a cool car. Though I think it would be much more fun on a winding backroad than in 5 lanes of morning rush hour traffic.....also saw a white and gold Dodge Ramcharger, battered and worn but still on the road..one of the last sold in the US ('90-92 or so).
May 15, 201312 yr Black 2014 Acura RLX rolling down the highway yesterday. Not sure if it was one we sold or from elsewhere. Jewel Eye lights look great doing down the road.
May 20, 201312 yr Ocean City MD Endless Cruise weekend. 3200 registered cars, easily another 1000 there. Overload.
May 20, 201312 yr Author OC Spring is always a real treat, after the doldrums of winter. I wish I could have gone this year, but I had stomach problems last week and didn't feel like traveling. Dad and his wife were there in her green '72 LeMans. Thanks for posting, Balthy!
May 20, 201312 yr Very cool OC car cruise sights. Even living near for years, I've never been but my brother goes every year and enjoys. Got rainy over the weekend throwing event off a bit, but great photos above. Edited May 20, 201312 yr by caddycruiser
May 26, 201312 yr '75 Pontiac Trans Am, 400/4-spd car, no powertrain, bad body cancer, stripped. '66 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special, all black, crusty from sitting but savable. '64 Pontiac LeMans 2-dr post coupe, extremely rough, no motor/trans/title, asking $1500, I wouldn't spend over $250 on it. '61 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 sedan, all black, factory air, rough & rusty, interior gone.
May 26, 201312 yr Author My first new Impala, a gray LTZ in the gymnasium parking lot. Such a quantum leap over the outgoing model, full of presence. Beautiful inside and out.
May 26, 201312 yr I haven't seen one this clean in a long time. The sticker on the back of the car showed that it had come from a dealership in Portland. That would explain the lack of rust. I'd love to have this car. Edited May 27, 201312 yr by NeonLX
May 27, 201312 yr Author That is a nice one! After a disastrous start with the FWD X-bodies, these A-bodies just ran and ran. I still see a lot of these on the road, even here in PA, where rust usually cuts a good car's life short.
May 28, 201312 yr Two oldies on my walk to work this a.m.: That Catalina Safari is unbelievably clean. Even the original interior looks great.
May 30, 201312 yr Saw 5 Tesla Model S in the commute tonight...white, silver, dark red, dark gray, black.
May 30, 201312 yr Last week...forgot...a white 2006 or earlier GMT-800 Silverado Extd Cab 4x4 Hybrid. Totally looked normal until I saw the green "Hybrid" badges on the front doors. Little old man driving it from the gas station. One of the first, before the new gen switchover. Don't know if I've ever seen more than 2 of these total.
