    V.I.S.I.T

    Vehicles I See In Traffic. Snap a pic of a vehicle that has some significance, is it rare, is it unique in some way or is it something you have an emotional attachment to. Preferably it's something in motion or obviously being used but in a parking lot is ok. It can be a neat old rig in a yard, there's some great stuff just sitting around rotting that needs to be photo documented so put those here too as you spot them.

    I've been collecting these kinds of pics for years but this one today just got me in the feels. It was glorious, my wife thinks I'm nuts Click image for larger version.

    Not that rare really (I don’t think) but it caught my eye. These guys had a really cool Ranchero a year or so ago. I took a pic but I’d have to search harder for that one

    This minty fresh Cordoba was parked in my parking garage for a bit.

    That looks like a car you could end up having a hit out on yourself if you took a picture of it. Watch six man.

    It was parked outside a local pizza place owned by a guy that came up from the Bronx 8 or so years ago. No front plate either so they're either running stealth in the big black sedan with the 2 body trunk or they're from PA.

    Here's another

    This passed through town last year. Started in Germany, shipped to Alaska, headed for the east coast.

    Is this the same kind of car? It was so strange looking I had to take a photo. This was taken in Stow-on-the-Wold, England. I know it's a French car of some type.

    Yes, a Citroen SM which, like most other Citroens, is a completely batshit way to design a car.

    I can't see a French car and not think of this bit of historical commentary:

    I was surprised to see how many French cars there are in the UK, considering their virtual non-existence in the US market. One of my rentals was a Renault Clio which I must say got the job done fairly comfortably and it definitely sipped gas.

    Here's an actual interesting English car I saw in England. It's a Sunbeam Tiger:

    These little roadsters are fitted with a V8 engine!

    Saw this bad boy on a recent trip up north. Impeccably clean Wolfsburg Edition Bluestar Vanagon. Very cool.

    Parked next to me at the Quickie Mart n Gas. Lowered Denali with custom paint is unique around here. I could see it in SoCal. Maybe he was passin through.

    Yup. Amazing car (when it works).

    I would love a Golden Hawk with the supercharged 289 someday Click image for larger version.

    What do you mean? I bet the owner hauls all kinds of stuff in that truck over all kinds of terrain. It looks like a real workhorse.

    Ha! I'm admittedly very jaded against the huge, useless truck trend that's been going on for years, especially here, where the 4 door quad-cab lifted superduty is used exclusively as the family hauler/grocery getter, and the hitch receiver is only for bedazzling with your favorite SEC school logo.

    Even more interesting is that it was built for the American market, so they're much rarer in the UK than here. I don't think I've ever seen a right hand drive one (including that one).

    It's basically an Alpine modified to jam a Ford 260 from the Mustang and Falcon under the hood - but with a 4 speed manual (Mustangs had three speeds as standard). And it is really shoehorned in. There's barely even room to get your arm down either side. For the last year there was a 289 option as well.

    In stock form it doesn't really drive well. The rear suspension can't handle the torque, the diff is too tall, and the stock wheels & tires are too small. Definitely a a cool car though.

    I keep reading the name of this thread and all I can think of is this disc in my car senior year of HS.
