my new neighborhood has some odd cars

The White Whale lives around the corner from me. Bigass 1950 Buick 4 door, white on white, whitewalls and big chrome wheel covers.

It's for sale so I take the long way around the block.

My buddy offered him $2k on the spot. Got a call back from the seller months later saying lets meet to look at the car-the seller never called or answered his phone after that.

The kicker-the guy lives in a trailer with a tarp on the roof (for about 8 years now)-he could obviously use the money.

Guy down the street has 55 and 57 chevy gassers. Another neighbor has a 66 malibu convertible. The rest are invisi-cars. Oh an acvw beetle with rust polka dots all over the body down the way.

Not too many:

A nice '47 Ford ratty, a General Lee replica, an extremely wicked '41 Willy's, a yellow Alfa, another silver Alfa Spyder, and a yellow early 70's 911 (that a local dweebish real estate agent owns)....

my neighborhood is very grassroots.. across the street we've got a sport bike guy and his brother goes through a variety of honda/acura and other Japanese import on a regular basis, two house down is a chrysler fan, with omnis, k-car wagons, and hes branched out lately with a late 80's vette and an early mercedes vert... on the other end are the truck guys, one with a lifted late model dodge, and another with lifted cherokees and late 70's broncos. go a little further and youll find a dude with two merkurs, another with a bricklin and a 50's olds, and a few houses down from him theres the dude with the mid 60's impalas (x2!) . not to mention the early cougars, chevelles, oldmobile 442, and f bodies. theres even very early and very cool big ole dodge power wagon in one of my neighbors yard that he uses to tow his boats.. quite a mix around here... gotta love it!

Not exactly in my neighborhood, but saw gorgeous brand new Ferrari on a flat bed, painted dark metallic gray. Odd color for one of those. Then a few blocks later I got passed by a big Ford truck pulling a trailer with a drop dead beautiful '63 Galaxie Super Stock drag car. Said NHRA National Record holder on the back. I didn't catch the name on the side, but it was too perfect to be an original. Passed by another new Ferrari a few minutes later, a proper red one. Ft. Lauderdale has interesting cars.

What do I think? I think it sounds like you live in the Pacific NW! As P71 said, we have so many 80's cars around here most of them don't really register for me, and there are a fair number of 60's and 70's cars still out on the street, too.

Kinda fun having odd and older cars around!

We just got some new neighbors and, befitting of the Lower Alabama mindset, they have no less than 5 (!) honda civics of various flavors/years... 4 of which have major front end/sideswipe damage, nasty ricer mods, hideously loud exhausts, they do laps of my culdesac at 2am, and they (naturally) all park in the lawn.... next time they do the loud-pedal to the floor at 2am on my street... they are gonna come out to a lawn full of cars (literally) burning to the ground...

Well in my sub there my C30 which is fairly unusual except there's another one 4 houses down Amazing given the total sales figures! Next door lives a 1955 356, the neighbor to the other side traded her Boxster for an A4 convertible after the engine self destructed, just round the corner there's a 550 Spyder replica. A guy I used to race with used to live 3 doors down but now lives two streets away with his Spec Miata. There's another spec Miata a couple of streets in the other direction. There's a C6 Z06 down the road. Some kids round the corner have a Misterbitchie Starion. There's a lovely Ducati round the corner. There's a mint Model A up the road and another vintage something or other on the street behind. There are several Mustangs around as well. This is within about 1/8 mile radius from my house, expanding to the whole village there's lot's more.
