I saw a Jeep Liberty, Grand Cherokee (new bodystyle), and Commander all in the same person's driveway..

holy crap i saw my first fj cruiser today...my eyes still hurt...funny thing is that there was like a 75 year old guy behind the wheel

Saw a brand new red VUE Redline today (with the new Redline badge). Looks like the owner is just 4 houses up the street from me, unless it was a visitor.

saw a black TB SS...that thing is hot.....if i had the cash i would go get it right now.

Um... I saw a slick GAGT. :D And that's about it............ :P

I saw an early (taking a stab at saying '52 or '57.. I don't know Impalas well at all) Impala Coupe the other day in two tone... red and white. Looked sharp.

Oldsmobile Cutlibu. Second time in Canada, closer this time.

It actually doesn't look that bad in person, other than the fact that it's a N-body Malibu.

2 Saab 9-7x's

2 new Tahoes

2 new 9-3's

A Solstice

All in the OC

Brand new, white SportCombi parked along the street (not where it lives) with the right front corner destroyed. Next day, it was parked about 30 feet forward from where it was. I guess the owner tried to move it and couldn't. Next day, it was gone.

Red Volvo T60

previous gen Red Audi S6 with custom body work that looked REALLY good

Blue Cobalt SS Supercharged

and I saw the same blue FJ Cruiser I see all the time.

07 Camry's are becoming more and more common as the weeks go by, no surprise. Saw a red XLE today with dual exhaust. Bad as I hate to say it, the car looks pretty good, especially in darker colors.

Oh, I've seen a few Yaris's as well, a black one in mall parking lot and a green one today on the road.

What else? Oh, an older Bentley Continental and an Rolls-Royce, not sure what year, but probably older than the Bentley.

Also, over the weekend I saw 7 separate Tahoes. 3 silver, 1 white, 1 dark red, 1 dark blue and 1 black. The new Tahoe looks fantastic in the darker colors. Red is especially becoming.

Also saw an 07 Denali today, and the local GMC dealer has the XLs in now.

I know there are 11 FJs roaming my area. The Toyota dealer has already sold out their stock. They had 11 but they are getting more. The black looks really nice on it. My Mazda dealer also has an 07 silver CX7 and my Chrysler dealer has a Torred Daytona, Heritage edition 300C, and a 2006 Charger SRT8 (Black Beauty). It has been there for a little bit and I love it. The Chevy dealer also has a new Avalanche and a used Solstice. It is silver or grey.

Saw a highly modded Prowler (we didn't race but it was almost as fast as the GTO... he floored it so I followed suit behind him in the same lane, and I was pulling on him a little). I think that's the first Prowler I've seen here, though I've seen Prowlers elsewhere (Chicago and Michigan).

And in the Best Buy parking lot I parked next to a black CTS-V. The guy came out about the same time I was walking in so I talked to him for 5 minutes or so. He had a Maggie on it and was pushing 550HP.

A Prowler, a damn-near mint '57 Belair for $4500.00 OBO, 70 SS396 Chevelle, 78 Firebird Trans Am, same red Solstice I always see, lots of new Tahoes, Suburbans, and Yukons, nothing else anymore spectacular.

Two things... a black SRT-8 Charger on a truck (with a bunch of 300s and Chargers) and a real rarity.. a VW Phaeton. :o

A specialty used lot, you know the used dealers that sell used imports, mainly BMWs, Mercs, Audis, Porsches, etc, has a used Phaeton on their lot now.

Interesting siting today on I-75N.

Stopped at a Shell station on the way out of Lexington. Saw my first Chrysler Aspen, Dodge Charger SRT-8, AND Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. Kind of an odd thing to see at once yeah? Apparently they were doing some kind of testing for Chrysler, they all three had Michigan Manufacturer tags and all three had funky looking equipment in the vehicles and dashboards. Left the Shell station before they did and sure enough by the time I got to Covington, KY, they passed me all at once.

Pretty neat day for me.

Oh, forgot a couple of other more sickening sightings.

First, a deep purple Chrysler 300 with gold trim, gold rims, and a lavender cloth top. Blegh!

Then, not too much later, a champaigne Lucerne with a brown cloth top. Just...ew. Driven by Methuselah, no less. Or someone near to the same age.

Picturing....

...puking. :puke:

There was a parade for some retarded town holiday today, and there were some cool cars, a Prowler, a Hennessey Viper, some Model As and Model Ts, a slew of '50s domestics and a couple of Austin Healy Sprite, which I might add are f@#kING AWESOME.

Picturing....

...puking. :puke:

Yeah, it was bad.

Only thing that evened out the day was the SRT-8 Charger and Grand Cherokee I saw earlier in the day, that I mentioned above.

I tell ya, I don't care which is faster, but the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 is one awesome looking SUV, much better looking than the Trailblazer SS, of which I saw TWO of today, oddly enough. Low-slung, wide tires, big rims, and centered exhaust. MMmmmm...

The Charger was awesome too, but the Charger is such an aggressive looking car anyways, you can't tell a difference unless you look really close. The one I saw was all black except for the rims.

And the Chrysler Aspen is the most ridiculous rebadge ever. The Mercury Mountaineer is more differentiated.

Saw a yellow Lambo Countach yesterday afternoon. 8)

Also saw a new GTI.

Seeing a crapload of the new Camries... and a bunch of the Yarises. The first Yaris hatch I saw in person almost induced vomit.

Yeah, new Camrys are becoming more and more common here in Lexington, the number I see increases daily.

And Yarii are becoming more numerous as well. Hell, at least its better looking than the Echo. :Toyota:

new Sedona, Yaris, Fit, 5 '07 Tahoes, '07 Yukon Denali, 3 Prowlers, FJ Cruiser, and Camrys...lots of Camrys

Saw a Viper GTS today, drove alongside it for a bit on the highway.

1938 Indian motorcycle and a 1954 Pontiac Star Chief two-door; what an awesome car! '66 Buick Skylark GS convertible yesterday, too.

G6 convertible at a dealership in Elkton, MD, on the way back from the beach. Looks good. It was red with tan leather.

More Fits. Most godawful front end.

That's probably because Honda grafted an extra 6" to comply with US crash regulations, kinda like the CSVs.

Two firsts:

2007 Yukon (I still prefer the Tahoe)

2007 FJ Cruiser (silver, not bad)

2007 FJ Cruiser (silver, not bad)

Saw my first one of these today, too. It's.. weird.

This had to happen. A beige HHR with a "woody" kit, at the Elkton, MD dealership where I saw the G6 convertible.

I'd rather see a panel version, painted olive drab monochrome, with 40's style knobby tires and a red cross on the side.

Something you don't see everyday...

The Chrysler TC by Maserati (not the same car but same color).

Saw a brand new Monte Carlo...

With a Continental Kit. :puke:

Saw a Dodge Neon that someone had spent time carefully adding a second rub strip about three inches north of the factory rub strip. :stupid:

-RBB

Saw a couple of Caliber SE's, lots of new Camrys, a Yaris (looked like a shrunken Corolla S), an M-B S550, and a lot of 90s B-body cars.

Saw my first Ford GT today. First time I was pretty close to my house but out of the subdivision and it was going WOT the other way... probably about 80 MPH and it had just started not too long before at the stoplight. I could smell the burnt rubber for a long time after. Then when I was coming home from the dealership I saw it again and drove behind it for a little while. Damn what a sweet car! I love the Z06 but I have to admit the GT is something above and beyond the Z06.

It's nice and sunny out there, and the rich b*st*rds are taking their rides out... :P

Porsche Cayman S

Solstice

SLP Firehawk Convertible

SLP Camaro SS Convertible

Several C3 Corvettes (convertible, hardtop, t-top)

A sh*tload of C5 Corvettes

I sat in a G6 convertible like the sedan better, I saw 7 Avalanches, but they were in dealers soo (all different dealers), I saw a Fit, I swear its rolling on go kart tires, uhh oh the Hyundai Entourage, sharp van gotta say, Escalades everywhere (this gen.) and alot of Yaris', not many classics uhh oh the best thing was a whole group of exotci cars following each other lambo Gallarado Spyder, Ferrai F340 spyder, and a DB9. Oh and an early 90's Viper that I saw this mourning ^_^

Awsome! Looks like it's seen better days. Shortly after I

bought my Maxima I drove through Chelmsford behind

one of these MG/Triumph wannabees with Washington

State plates... it was MINT. They're cute little cars, I just

can't see myself in one becasue it's made for like 4' 11"

tall 105lbs. Japanese guys. :P

Good post Burhan! :D

Right across from the Skydome yesterday, I saw a Lambo Gallardo parked across the grass / sidewalk. $60 ticket in window. Pretty sweet $60 parking space, if you've got the money.

Seen a few Solstices and some butt-ugly 07 Camry's, but EVERYDAY I see atleast 4-5 vettes. Guess us Texans love our Corvettes. :P

EDIT: Theres an 07 Black Tahoe that I see around here often. It's wearing blacked out bowties and black 24's and maybe lowered? I'll try to get a pic sometime, but it looks very nice.
