Unless there is another one like it that I don't know about. I'm probably a poor thread starter, especially since I don't have any photos, but I was walking through a parking lot today and I saw the following cars, I'm kicking myself for not photographing them but I didn't think about starting this thread till after I left. They're not all that rare so I probably would've looked foolish (even more so then usual) for photographing cars most people wouldn't even notice:

A Ford Thunderbird, the kind they built a few years ago, some people think they look weird (I agree when they have the goofy two-tone interior), they're not particularly fast and they only come in automatics but damn I always thought they looked good.

A black VW R32.. not the most recent kind, but the model before the current generation. I always loved these cars.

Your turn...Go.

The guy I am buying my Civic from has two 69 Vette convertibles (I am pretty sure he said they were L89 cars), a '56 Olds with 17k miles, a Model A, a '50s something Oldsmobile 98 convertible (one of 12 in the world) and two other old American cars.

Rules are simple...it has to be something that is driven, the barn find idea has been done. It can be new, old, doesn't matter, as long as its cool to you, then post your sightings.

Gaggle of Hondas in South Dakota

Hondas

Looks like an 80s Chevrolet or GMC van combined with a boat. Interesting look for sure. Apologies for the poor photo quality but taken through a cracked and dirty windshield. Seen in Sulphur Springs, Texas.

Odd boat van combination

still, in my view, the sexiest car ever built that actually has performance to back it up...

this thing was so massive, my 4Runner next to it looks like a mini. And so clean, not a scratch on it. Clearly never used for hauling, wheeling, or anything other than penis enlargement (driver was about 5'6, I might add).

most awesomest use of a Range Rover for cross-country travel. Note Michigan plates....he was headed that direction...FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

note the custom paint job...

ITR....still the greatest car ever to have come out of Japan. GT-R, NSX, etc....suck it

ok, we were actually driving around in this onw. Owned by a famous bald actor who always gets bloodied in every movie...
