The Sightings Thread

In reply to chandler :

You know, I can’t recall what color interior their E36 convertible had. Could it have been triple green? I’ll have to ask. 

Subaru Sambar Dias Classic–oddly, not the only one that I saw yesterday. 

Was going to post in unicorn but more of a home build I believe.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

If I had a Sambar .....

Here come da Judge!

...when automakers made cars out of memes

A quick, 3 minute slideshow video from some of the pics I took yesterday

I saw my first S15! Holy crap that thing looks even better in person!

Couple Benzes today. First one is the same parking spot at that old diesel Benz from a while back. Guy must have a thing for Mercedeses

Oh, totally. 

Subaru Crosstreks–stock and not stock. (I felt like I was back in Colorado when encountering this.)

Saw my first Cybertruck in the wild today...

I'm glad some people think they're cool-looking. 

I think they look like stainless steel doorstops.

Meh.

In reply to Recon1342 :

Funny, I saw three while returning from visiting my folks this weekend. Yeah, not my mug of root beer. 

Someone was having a bad day

A Mitsubishi in Pentastar clothing: Chrysler Conquest TSi. TIL these had 2.6-liter fours. 

Kustom Lincoln Continental spotted at an I-95 rest area. 

I saw a white CyberTruck in front of a wrap shop. Very imposing. The stainless ones kind of disappear into the background by comparison!

I was going through some old pictures and realized I never posted this here.

Picture taken on March 30 at a McDonald's just north of Ormond Beach.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I don't hate it.

That's also one of a handful of Continentals they made with suicide doors. If I remember correctly, those ones cost a bit more than the "standard" models and still seem to demand a premium on the used market.

We've seen a couple around by now. The kids call them "robot trucks"

In reply to Colin Wood :

And if I remember right the run was sold out fairly quickly.

I didn't know there was a convertible version of the i8.  At the Palm Beach turnpike service center

The same 2.6 as used in a Fire Arrow, apparently, but usually with a stonking big turbo 

Someone who played with them said that their fuel injection setup was truly weird.  The injectors sprayed into a plenum, not the ports, and they sprayed asynchronously relative to the engine.  And then I had deliberately forgotten the rest of the details, something about the frequency was based on the frequency coming from a MAF sensor... really weird.  I guess Mitsubishi didn't want to pay the rights to Bosch L-jet like practically every other Japanese automaker in the 80s.

In reply to Slippery :

When were you in Vancouver and Torino?

Irecognizd the parking in Yaletown and the mountains of Tofino. 

Contour SVT awaiting resurrection
