Saw what I thought was one of those tiny lotus roadsters in yellow, but I'm watching Top Gear right now and they are building a kit car (Roadsport SV), and I am convinced I saw this kit car, not a Lotus. Interesting coincidence.

The other day I saw a Dodge Ram front end, the back chopped off, A Ford Econoline rear welded on, and some kind of trailer attaching deck behind that.
Some other interesting things I can't remember at the moment.

Possible but I'm not sure if there was a 7 in the grille.

It could have been one of any number of Lotus Seven clones. Without examining the car, it's impossible to say which one you saw. Caterham, Westfield, Locost, Stalker, Leitch...there are tons of them.

Today I saw a white Porsche. No mistaking it, but it was a model I've never seen. It was late 80s style with Testerossa slats on the side. Light housings were not round like others of the era. Looked like a 911 Turbo... but different.

Earlier this week I drove right next to some guy with a gen 1 Beetle hacked on a Harley D.
The very next day I read the paper and there he is on the front. He's on some kind of 50 state trek, and he's trying to get to Hawaii with his machine.

This is me wishing my camera was not broked.

I saw the Porsche again last week and I took a real good look at it. White leather interior with red pin trim. Pretty mint looking.

I went to Wiki and some Porsche sites and I cannot find this model. To me it looks lke a highly modified 955.

Few days ago I saw a polo SVX. It's not a common color up here. Some young-looking kid was driving and he seemed pretty surprised to see me.
It had a modified exhaust with large outlets and made absolutely no sound.

Some guy in a dirty silver SVX stares hard enough enough at my car to burn holes through it.

I waved at him today.
We are always going opposite directions.

Saw a Suburban with a bumper kit and spoiler/wing.
Yeah. Not even they are safe from ricerism.

Not native though, it had a badge looking like it was purchased in Mississippi.

Old thread is OOLLLDDD, but,

This is worth a bump.

Yesterday I saw something resembling a rocket being hauled away from the base. It had a HUGE turbo on it so I'm guessing it's from a train or maybe a test facility. How huge? It [the turbo] was as tall as an SVX is wide.

Today was even better. I was leaving the airport when from the opposite direction a police catches my eye. He's going very slowly and I'm like ****, what's he doing.
Then out of nowhere a semi rig pulling a de-clawed F-15 comes around. There is a guy with a massive grin in the cockpit steering it.

I think the police escort was to keep people from racing it. How many people can say they rolled past an F-15 on the highway? It was awesome. It had a sign on it, seemed to be headed towards the air museum.

On a slightly different note, I saw an F-22 land a few weeks ago and just for a split second I thought it was a UFO, then the landing gear popped out.

Saw a Sunburst Yellow Aston Martin Vantage today. Thought it was worth necro-ing this thread.

WHOA KIDS WE GOT A TWOFER.

I just saw a maroon Lambo Gallardo. I didn't get up close to it so yeah, it could be a Murc, but I doubt it.

Anywya, hooray for my first Alaskan Lambo sighting.
