December 4, 201510 yr I realized we were still posting in the November thread (though really months have little meaning). Saw a very clean bronze '69 Olds 88 convertible today, top down. And did a double take when I saw a gray Pontiac Torrent in a parking lot..forgot that vehicle even existed. Looked like a 1st gen Equinox.
December 4, 201510 yr Thanks for putting this up, Moltie. Last month's thread didn't get a lot of participation, so I was hesitant to put one up this month. Maybe December will be better.
December 5, 201510 yr Author Saw a very clean '80s vintage Porsche 911 Carerra Turbo-look cabrio, in yellow w/ the black centered Fuchs wheels. Top down on a sunny Saturday morning.
December 21, 201510 yr Took a ride with a buddy of mine on a continual prowl for a decent 1st gen Toronado. Small town car lot was advertising a '66… but the amateur restoration still revealed too many concerns to seriously consider. He passed. Jump pack didn't have enough spark to start it, either. A shame of course, 'cause the '66 is rolling ARTWORK. Lot also had a '70 Cadillac SdV, black.
December 21, 201510 yr I think I saw a 16 Malibu the other day on the highway. I'm not for sure if they are on dealer lots yet that's why I'm not 100% sure it was a '16 but I'm pretty confident. It was a dark burgundy-like color. I think on Chevy's website it is "Butte Red Metallic".
December 21, 201510 yr '71-72 El Camino, bright yellow w/ black top, stock & gleaming. '63 Merc Breezeway sedan, med blue, rolling fast down highway.
December 22, 201510 yr I spotted a pair of M-Body Chrysler New Yorker 5th Aves today. I actually pulled into the lot to take a look. One is an '82 with leather interior one is an '86 with cloth interior. Both from the same estate. Paint is a little rough on both as it was clearly an elderly driver parking by braille, but otherwise they look extremely clean. The '82's interior looks just about perfect, the '86 has a few small holes in the cloth seats. A friend of mine like these a lot so I sent the info to him
December 22, 201510 yr Came across a bunch of butt ugly i3 last night at the mall. One is bad enough but when you have multiple together it is a freakin Horror. Who ever thought that styling was cool needs to have a mental health screening.
December 22, 201510 yr Wow, I was reading that and I just had no clue what you were talking about. I thought you said 13 not i3. With the capitalized "I" it looked like a "1". I'm yet to see one in person but they don't look too great in pictures.
December 22, 201510 yr Author I've seen a few i3s around..strange little car. The i8, though, is pretty slick.

I'm yet to see one in person but they don't look too great in pictures. My bad, I have corrected it. i3's are BUTT UGLY! Solid Color one has 16K miles on it and reduced to $32K, is fully loaded but still over priced for what you get.
December 22, 201510 yr ^ They are indeed gruesome. '69 or '70 Mustang Mach 1 fastback, clean, red, must've been 18" wheels, for sale at Ford-oriented body shop.
December 23, 201510 yr A quad of '58-59 Chevy / GMC project trucks, rough, some just cabs, but have only been where they are less than a year. Here's one of 'em : http://cnj.craigslist.org/pts/5310952102.html

They seem kind of neat/quirky in pictures but I have to believe they are a mess in person. $h!, 32k for one of those used? How large/small are they? What would they be compared to? Fiesta? Focus? Spark?
December 23, 201510 yr It must have been old car day today. I picked up my car from the mechanic after inspection and getting some small things done, so I'm riding around in my '81. On the way home I passed a Cordoba, a '78 Coupe Deville, and a '71 Ford LTD.
December 23, 201510 yr Author Leaving work this afternoon, saw an eclectic mix, not unusual for Scottsdale. A slammed white Audi S5 coupe followed by a sharp dark blue w/ white interior '66 Buick Electra ragtop, top down (even though it's overcast and 56), followed by a slammed bright blue Audi S4 sedan. Then in the opposite direction a mile or so later, an orange McLaren P1 side by side with a red Mercedes AMG GT coupe. Then closer to home in Phoenix, I saw a dark bronze Aston Martin Rapide..

Spark? For me they are in the Spark size and yes in real life they are a mess. Neighbor bought one and already decided it was just too much of a mess and limited driving for their use. He had to pay big time to get out of the lease.
December 24, 201510 yr Yesterday while walking around downtown after work I saw a CLS 550 diesel and an E46 M3 in gorgeous condition. It looked a little lowered and almost like fenders flared slightly but I think it was just that generation. Great looking car!

He had to pay big time to get out of the lease. Spark size!?! No thank you, easily. Dang, I wouldn't want to get stuck in a lease with something like that but I guess even had they financed it you'd be out big bucks to trade it in or sell it out right in less than a year or two.
December 25, 201510 yr Clapped-out first-gen 1970's Fiesta, bright yellow with a few rust "waterfalls" in various spots, wearing Escort GT alloys. Now THAT is automotive dedication... or mental instability. In the K-Mart parking lot.
December 30, 201510 yr '76 Cadillac Coupe deVille, tan 1/2-top over brown body, quite minty, parked on street.
