What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?

[OcCoupe]

The illegitimate child of a Pontiac Aztek and I don't know what.

One of those parks next to me every day.

You should really take care of that bulimia.

[John in VA]

What is it?

What is it?

Smart "Roadster Coupe" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) tuned by Brabus.

At the Menard's parking lot today;



The license plate shows it's a non-commercial vehicle; probably some farmer who uses it like a pickup. A three ton pickup.

[MicahO]

A three ton pickup.

Those are nuts. I went past an F650 pickup Sunday but it was going in the other direction, too fast for a picture. One of these, in bright orange and white. Very subtle.

Ha! I'd go for Lookit Me Yellow with a big TONKA logo on the tailgate.

I've seen this thing a couple of times in the last few weeks -- as far as I can tell it hasn't moved at all -- and finally stopped & snapped a couple of photos of it tonight. Looks to be a VW-based kit car, but I have no idea what model it is. There was a local guy who built something like it back in the early '80's and powered it with a small block Chevy mill; he would regularly humiliate guys on motorcycles with it in stoplight drags. I don't know if this is the same beast, but wouldn't be too surprised if it is. Somehow I doubt the duct tape adds anything to its HPs or its aerodynamics.

One of these rocketed by me at a billion miles an hour this morning. Dealer plates, natch.

[tig]

Supposedly this is a $40K engine.



They effed up the new paint job installing it. My paint guy, Ken now gets to repaint the car.



These are sick:

[Jeff B.]

Mercedes 600 limo set up for diplomat flags. The interior was in perfect condition and ready to transport your local dictator or drug dealer.

[wkohler]

That's Eric Q.'s next car right there.

I saw something that exudes the understated elegance of the 600. The Golf Camaro

[Fedaykin528e]

Got a chance to check out a 1928 Bugatti Type 40 with a bonus 1964 Porsche 356 C...

Recent encounters:



I almost spit milk out my nose when I saw this one. I was following it and when it stopped, I had to pull over and take pics. This is just too awesome not to share.




Last night, leaving the Sounders game (where they beat the Rapids 1-0):

^^^ Amazing!

A lifted MK3 Jetta on B4 Passat VR6 Wagon springs...belongs to a friend of mine and he also has a massive roof basket with foglights...looks Dakar ready:



VW T1 & T2 Pickups...so much want:





A mobile stereo made from a '60s Beelte:




A fat-tired FB RX-7 featuring LT-1 power with a cam, stock injection, a quiet single exhaust, and 360 hp, all at 2650 lbs to boot:




A rough-around-the-edges S2 Scirocco with a 16V and side-draft Weber carbs, easily pushing 150 to the wheels:



A very tidy 1989-90 E30 325is at work with an aftermarket exhaust and an unidentified front lip...maybe Zender?...That's my MK2 Jetta in orange beside it...it does have a massaged VR6 under the hood:



A 1964 Corvair Convertible on air suspension:



The first i8 I've seen on the street:



A pair of Maserati GT's on either side of a parts car E30 I bought:




In the same garage, an SS-tribute AE86 Corolla that has sat for some time:




No, I didn't see them all today, but very recently.

[MicahO]

This looked like a fairly normal WRX or STi....


Except that Woody was hanging on to the bumper!



Also saw a pirate ship. AAARRRRR!!!!

[Mike W.]

Saw it out of the corner of my eye and at first saw a FIAT 131, not exactly a memorable car in and of itself, but upon closer inspection no, it did have FIAT genes, but was instead the Iron Curtain version of the bottom feeder 127. The Yugo! This was at Pick and Pull of all places. So, you buy one of the most maligned cars of all time, from a junkyard, only to have to get smog, brake and light certs before you can drive it on the roads. Such a deal...

[wkohler]

That checkered flag suits that car well!

[tig]

How weird is it that i actually want that car?

[kzolee]

I want to read the ultimate Yugo engine / interior thread.

So, do it.

[Karl Grau]

This morning at the Chevron station on CMB at 805.

Pretty sure that's a Sterling kit car.

Saw 2 E28s during my travels today, which is a rarity up here. A nice silver 533i passed me on I-84 east in Manchester around 5:15am. And later I met up with a forum member in his 528e (also very nice condition) to sell him a spare back seat I had. Saw lots of other nice cars and bikes out today in New England but those two stuck out for me obviously

On our way out of town on Saturday, I caught sight of a nice looking Alfa -- I think it's a 1750 GT Veloce -- being trailered behind an e53 X5 (in Avus Blue, one of my all-time favorite colors) at a gas station. No idea if it was a local rig coming or going or just passing through... We were already behind schedule or I would've stopped to chat. I did have time at the stoplight to grab my cellphone & grab a snapshot of it.

[WilNJ]

Breaking the first rule of the thread with no pics but I saw the next 5 or 7 series under camouflage yesterday.

[RossDinan6]

Pretty sure that's a Pinzgauer. Air cooled flat 6 related to Porsche pushes it along.
