Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

Seeing Red.

I wonder if the car in the background covered up because it was insecure about not being red...

So I'm going to post a video that I found very interesting, and I assume as a car lover that you will be as riveted to the screen as I was. Super enjoyable - here it is:

I've been AWOL from this thread for awhile, but there have been some good sightings. What could be better than an Aston Martin cabriolet in British Racing Green? The top should be tan, but hey, we'll all survive somehow.

The second is a rare bird, a second generation SAAB 9-5, which was built for only about a year (2010-11) before the marque finally disappeared. This one was in downtown Philly a few weeks ago. I had a first generation 2001 9-5 Aero, so I was excited about the second generation, and actually took one for a test drive. For such a large car, it was incredibly light and agile, so I liked it, but I knew better than to spend so much on a car with suspect reliability from a brand that was clearly in deep trouble. I bought an Acura instead, and still have it 12 years later. I still miss SAAB though. That 9-5 Aero was an absolute beast, especially on the highway.

My Summer-Sunday ride; an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce, 1985, all original, with 40k on the clock.

Hello again, all.

I've posted pictures of this Lotus before, but it was always parked between two cars.

I was out for a walk, and was lucky to find it parked on a main drag with no other cars nearby.

I stumble on this car about 6 times a year.

I love it.

Enjoy.

Interesting fact. About 50% of the original Tesla Roadsters was manufactured by Lotus.

10 day inspection sticker in the window..... either they just registered that car or there's an issue getting it to pass NYSI.

I just got this pretty cool car from 1987 delivered to me today!

I didn't notice that!

Good eyes, Mike!

I want to talk to the owner about this car, but I only saw him once in two years, and he was with his signifigant other, and I didn't want to bother them.

Maybe in the future.

I have never been a fan of the Monte Carlo, especially not the second generation. But this was very clean.

Just spotted an hour ago.

Does anyone know what it is?

That's a Cayman.

 

[Michael Jewels]

Razman, I believe you are correct.

I stumbled upon this Vet while out for a walk.

More and more, I'm coming across nice cars parked on side streets in my neighborhood.
