Spotting thread! Did you see any special cars on the road today?

Hard to say. 60s maybe.

 

A Fiat 500 Turbo that reminded me that there was a dozen or so color options for the model.

An El Camino SS.

 

Of historical interest here, a 2-mode Escalade hybrid.

 

A Chevy SSR

 

Two interesting BEV's today, a Cyberbeast and a new Charger.

 

Just saw a very clean Gen 5 Prius. Got some nice wheels on it and was minty fresh.

 

15 or so special cars today. Down in San Juan Capistrano visiting friends. See which one you think is/was coolest (in no special order) ;

Chevy's first year impala?


or perhaps something newer like a Rolls-Royce


Classic power? 60s Shelby Mustang


or two-seater inspired by Carroll Shelby, a big block cobra


Very easy to work on, but often underpowered, a Karmann ghia?


Maybe something a little roomier from volkswagen? Any "ID" what it is?


Maybe the more classic look - with 21 windows


Dare not leave out toyota, a very early Corona station wagon


Some of us pickup owners, they often catch one's eye. But a split windshield from the 50s - matching rims to small block head colors? Not to common.


Mom had a black 64 Ford falcon, but in a station wagon?


Ford GT strike you as too rich for yer blood?


Then a McLaren probably will as well.


Or keep it simple with a Fiat 600


Lastly - ostentatiously painted Lambo SUV


Always liked the quite old Ferrari Mondial above all others, but the older spiders were pretty slick too

.

 

Gotta love that Shelby Mustang.

Today so far for me, a baby blue Taycan with some gold wheels (good combo actually), a last gen Civic Si, a C8 Z06 (nice), and a Ford Explorer ACTIVE (?). Never seen that before. Don't know if it's uncommon or not.

 

Shelby Mustang for me. I grew up in that 60s muscle car era. But all nice pics.

 

An Elantra N drove by me at an intersection with some mean pops, wich was pretty nice.
Less nice was a kitted out M4, which swung a turn on a street where I was walking (sped down in my direction with no care). Not only did the driver do that but he had no plates. I swear the guy was probably a YouTuber with the lack of plates and his girlfriend in the passenger seat.

 

An eclectic mix of two limousines (a Chrysler 300 and a Lincoln), an Audi e-Tron GT, an old AE86, and a Marine convoy headed out of Camp Pendleton.

 

A ZDX and Veloster.

 

An absolutely SPECTACULAR Mercedes 300SEL! Couldn't believe it.
EDIT: Also my first two Ioniq 6's, both at the same intersection incidentally.

 

Yesterday I saw a 1stgen Mustang, and I'm pretty sure a Dodge RAM SRT10.

 

Today so far, a Roush F150, my first face-lift Model Y, and two new Porsches, a Boxter and a Panamera.

 

50s Chevy Truck with barely a few inch of ground clearance. Nice cargo bed! .

 

A Honda Insight II, very obviously aping a gen 2 Prius in appearance.

Also a shiny/black Mercedes S560.
