Notable car sighting thread
I'll start it off with a 1st-gen Subaru Tribeca ultra-strech limo (WTF?!).
2 miles later, I saw a Ford GT. Red with white stripes. It was pretty. Sorry, no pics. |

In defense of the photo - I was trying to keep up with a Lamborghini into a tight off-camber turn, while driving a full size pickup with a car trailer and take the photo with a cell phone at the same time. I couldn't exactly control the location of sun.

Whatever kind it was, it had MD State Police tags.
edit: I don't know if it's notable, but I also spotted an F'car and my first Panamera on the road. There was also an Amish couple in a Mazda 626. Last edited by bren; 06-22-2010 at 11:50 AM. |

We don't see many exciting cars in this part of the country thanks to the short summers, but I did see the Panamera and an IS-F (Nick's favorite car of all time) last night. Nothing terribly special, other than being somewhat rare-ish (for now)

Remembered another one....an Elvis impersonator in a Camry. The most notable thing about that was the idiot in front of me in the fast lane who decided to slam on the brakes and get out his cell phone to take a pic.
edit: Actually, now that I think about it, the most notable thing might have been that the Camry wasn't doing 5 under in the fast lane. |

I will take a stroll through the lot parking lot sometime this week and post a list. Everything is in here somewhere. I saw a panamera and an Mx6 or whatever those stupid things are the last time I had a meeting that crosses one lot.
Of course there are beat up civics too. Sort of a complete cross section. |
