Ignore Hambone61 Report Abuse

List a car or truck you have recently seen on the street that made your "car hormones" secrete that special fluid, causing your head to turn and follow that beauty down the street.

Tell us what you saw!

I'll start it out with two I saw this morning going by my workplace.

>> A Yellow Mustang GT Convertible, fairly new and awesome!

gas_phil Champion Author Sacramento Posts:1,577 Points:127,490 Joined:Aug 2012	Message Posted: May 14, 2013 9:44:20 PM Ignore gas_phil Report Abuse I was back at the dealer the other day and saw an M3 Black Frozen Edition. Being clueless I was initially wondering what's up with that strange matte paint job on this car lol. Then realized it's a very special edition and they just had to parked it indoors on their show floor facing the entrance.

Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,193 Points:133,625 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Apr 28, 2013 7:52:54 AM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse Another Lotus! What is it with Lotus lately? This time a Lotus Evora. Just cruising along in the middle lane on the interstate. I have never seen an Evora before. I had to cruise alongside briefly to listen to that beautiful engine note. For a $100,000 car it had the most god-awful paint job. It must have been some custom job as it was truly hideous. No way the factory would release such garbage. Flat, dull,dirty looking. Plus it was a hideous goose-dropping green.

Interesting is the tail lighting on the car. The light looks like it is a string of L.E.D.s that form a kind of long ring around the back of the car, from one side to the other. The lights are bright and don't look anything like conventional lights. Caught my eye!

Hambone61 Champion Author Oregon Posts:14,474 Points:2,509,200 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Oct 2, 2012 9:43:26 PM Ignore Hambone61 Report Abuse Saw a 20's kind of rat-rod on the street today that took some real work to make. The car was painted kind of a dull silver with all the seams in the bodywork painted black, kind of like it was sewn together. What was really innovative about this car was that it was extended like a limo with three windows along each side. The top was cut down a lot making the windshield and other glass much shorter than it was. The front was a traditional oldie with the pod headlights and the radiator surrounded with nickel trim. Like it or not..... it sure got my attention! Kind of looked like some kind of frankenstein car! The car was driven by a pretty blonde lady, not Igor!

manaknight14 All-Star Author Pennsylvania Posts:538 Points:430,210 Joined:Oct 2011	Message Posted: Sep 7, 2012 6:47:39 PM Ignore manaknight14 Report Abuse This was a couple weeks ago, but still a good one. I live in a tiny little town in northeastern PA, so pardon my surprise when I went to the rinky-dink post office on the corner and saw a bright red Shelby GT500 convertible parked outside with the top down. Pretty recent model, couldn't have been more than a couple years old. I also remember seeing a bright yellow Roush Mustang (slightly older model I think) when I was down in Philly. I've seen a lot of Shelbys on the road over the years, but that was the first time I spotted a Roush. Last weekend I also got passed by something really old on the highway. Didn't catch the make or model, but it looked like it was from the 1940s. Fully restored with a nice two-tone paint job.
