Nice my X5 is Toledo blue with sand interior.......davintosh wrote: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.

Nice trunk spoiler on what I think is a real Z3M judging by the tires/wheels and exhaust. Not the finest example with all the duct tape on the window. I guess someone wanted to prove you can be just as tacky driving a BMW as driving a Honda.

True, but some makes seem to draw that sort to their products.Drew in NYC wrote:Tackiness isn't make-specific.Mike W. wrote:Nice trunk spoiler on what I think is a real Z3M judging by the tires/wheels and exhaust.

Couple guys autocross a crappy salvage title one here and they put a big wing on theirs. Made a huge difference. They also used a plywood splitter for a while.
Sometimes it's about function over form.

My favorite was years ago in a Pick and Pull I saw a full bodykit on a Nissan something econobox. Sideskirts and everything. Made out of plywood. Nice craftsmanship, but still...wkohler wrote:Couple guys autocross a crappy salvage title one here and they put a big wing on theirs. Made a huge difference.

You know, the thought never occurred to me. I prefer my E28, honest to Godcrispy wrote:So, was the key in the ignition? Are you driving it now?Drew in NYC wrote:

Saw a black 840ci on throwing stars, has to be the best condition e31 I've ever seen
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Around the corner from my office on the way to lunch.


Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Today at La Jolla Independent.
I know the rational BMW used for never importing the e30 Touring but I've always thought it was a huge blunder on their part.


It's kind of hard to tell from these pics, but the interior is immaculate.

"Under the sea" edition Toyota Corolla at the junk yard.


Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Same damn rationale Audi uses for not bringing the S6/RS6 Avant here. And Merc for not bringing the C63 Estate. Fuckers.Karl Grau wrote:Today at La Jolla Independent.

i say a purple e36 m3 
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Technoviolet? It's a rare color and I think was a M3 specific color.ASCCCII wrote:i say a purple e36 m3
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Carl doesn't know what "part it out" means.
I was thinking today about replacing my E34 with an E30 touring.

Not sure I could see you in an e30 touring, but cool regardless. I really enjoyed my 318i/5 sedan, always wanted a touring.wkohler wrote:Carl doesn't know what "part it out" means.

You were trolling probably.
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
A 40 something Chrysler coupe. A 66 Olds Vista Cruiser . A Cutlass based wagon. A neon blue Morris Minor saloon and a 39 Chevy resto mod. A pair of fenderless T buckets A 63 Studabaker Daytona wagon, . As soon as the road sweepers are done ,out come the summer cars.
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
New, but rare, and since I'm very partial to uber-wagons, I'll mention it.
AMG e63 wagon on the NYS Thruway this morning. Pearly-white, pretty car, I got to ride alongside and behind it for 15 miles. They must have a quality control issue at MB, because I didn't see a single use of the turn signals in six or eight lane-changes.......

Guy on my indoor soccer team has one. Amazing car. Still makes my blood boil that MB doesn't bring the C63 estate here. I gotta get over it, I guess.MicahO wrote:New, but rare, and since I'm very partial to uber-wagons, I'll mention it.

Mike had one of those in his shop for a week or so. Definitely an attractive wagon.
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
I saw this GMC S15 pickup today. You don't see many of those.


Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Saw an awesome AWD Mitsu turbodiesel in Montreal this weekend. Only downside was it was RHD. Also saw a total of 5 VW Vanagons, and each one was a Westy, which I thought was really strange.

Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
Saw an AMX on drag radials and a wheelie bar in NH this weekend. On my way back, I passed a Cummins-swapped Jeep Gladiator pickup
Re: What out of the ordinary cars did you see today?
On Lake Murray Blvd this afternoon. I thought it was a '67 because of the headlights but when we stopped for the light, he said it was a '64 with a 12v conversion.
