Notable car sighting thread - Page 16

I got to sit in one of the Zoo TV tour trabants. I was in Berlin last week for some business, and stopped in the Hard Rock to warm up and grab a beer. After a short chat with the Bartender, I jokingly asked if I could climb in the car for a picture. Surprisingly the answer was yes...

I saw a few other trabants in working order around the town, but I thought this was particularly cool.

A 325i with an M badge and wheels from an E60 M5. I wish I could have gotten a picture--the offsets were hilariously bad, and I can't imagine the thing doesn't rub over every bump.

I saw a tricked-out yellow Civic del Sol the other day.

Saw a group that was obviously together (the drivers were talking at a stoplight and 3 of the 4 had dealer plates). The group consisted of:

A mid 90s Supra
A Nissan GTR
A Viper ACR
A F430 Scuderia

Did I mention I've seen a Ferrari 308 and older Lotus Esprit recently?

A silver PT-cruiser limo in the NJ pike. WTF?

Classy.

I saw a Ford Excursion limo the other day. It had lettering on the back that said "Private vehicle - not for hire" and it looked like only one person was in it. Talk about overkill for a commuter car

I've seen one of these drive by a couple of times in the past week:

A prior-gen SRX painted in pink with "MARY KAY" on the back and sides. A quick Google search reveals that it is more common than I thought, and apparently Mary Kay gives out pink Cadillacs as prizes for top salespeople.

I wonder if Cadillac paints them in that color free of charge in exchange for the publicity?

They've done that for generations.

Since 1969, apparently.
