Cars spotted by you?

As of late I have started to snap pictures of cars I see on the side of the road while I am about in my 911.

The other day....GT3RS







And this one was spotted today...Ultima GTR



So what have you nabbed a picture of?

I saw the new Mitsu Eclipse with California plates in Michigan last night. The guy was flying, I was in my old Tracker not the 911, so all you get is this lousy picture.

Interesting looking car, at certain angles it looks like no other, at other angles looks like all the rest.

Very strange.

I saw a Porsche 550 Spyder the other day driving home from work. I was not in the 911, nor did I have a camera with me.
This is quite rare for rural Colorado.
Not sure if it was a Beck or an original. A mint greenish color, I have never seen. Pouring down rain , flying in the opposite direction. Classic !!!
All I could think was holy crap, did I just see that ?

I saw a Tahoe today that had such low profile tires that there was literally like an inch or less of sidewall. Wonder what the ride was like...

My daily commute brings me thru Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica, so I've basically seen everything ever made with wheels.

I saw an Enzo today, some fugly new CL? MB's, a modded GT2, and numerous other cool rides including a very clean maroon 912. The new Maybach is quite fugly too, IMHO.

Cool thread. Here are a few from Monaco a couple years ago:


A "real" Mini convertible and bunch of AMGs.



BMW enclosed scooter:



Rolls convertible? and another big Merc getting a parking ticket.

I took these at an ALMS '04 race at Sears Point:

Saleen S7



Superformance Cobra


RUF 996 Turbo


I'm not sure what type of Alfa this is, but I want one some day. It's just a beautiful car...

It wasn't THIS one, but I pulled into Home Depot this afternoon and there was one just like it. Sweet looking ride, up close and personal...

Lotus Elise

That's a GTV. Gorgeous coupes! The Italian alternative to a 2002.
