Topic: Interesting things seen on the way to work thread

[tpl]

On College st in Guelph  An old 911, small, narrow, skinny tires,no rear spoiler BRG with a wide yellow stripe across the rear end and over the roof.   Had that old aircooled 6 noise...not 'mellowed' by a turbo I'd say. It was accelerating fast away from me so I only saw it for a few seconds.

I haven't seen it before I wonder if it is local.

Pontiac Sunfire in very good condition. Something like this one but different colour.

Saw three Honda CRZs today.  Haven't seen one in ages and love the looks of them.

^^ They are certainly rare. I have a soft spot for them because they remind me of an 80's CRX. That was when Honda was King.

For two weeks or so there's been a brand new F-250 parked across the street from my parents' house that I walk by on the way to work. Looks to be a pretty loaded up Lariat, no plates, temp registration, and super dirty. It hasn't moved at all since it was parked there. Seems odd.

Self isolating for 14 days?

Still looking in the couch cushions for the $125+ to fill it up.

Saw a newer Range Rover in the most iraqi taxi condition I have seen a vehicle in a long time. Not only was there blue smoke coming out of it, the thing was dented, scratched, and the wheels were curbed bad enough to see from a distance. I'm not really a fan of RR, but I actually felt bad for this poor thing.

Hoovies has some hilarious RR videos

Not at work but came across this old GMC in my travels today.  Old school bus by the looks of it.

A few intersting sights on the 20 (the T-Can in QC from Montreal towards East):

- a '50s Chevy stepside truck, hot-rodded, with a 5th wheel trailer;

- a masochist driving an otherwise sweet dune buggy with canvas top and clear plastic side curtains (wife said: "Never in my life!"  )

OliverD's mini (or what I assume is his). And his new-to-him wagon, he followed me a month or so back for a brief stretch

I think it was a 1 series BMW doing over 200 kph in the dark with only one headlight on the 401 between London and Woodstock.

I saw one of these, same colour, on Clare Rd in Guelph on Wed am.  Was not sure exactly what Lotus until I did a Google later.

Yesterday I passed a BMW M550 on the highway.  It was driven by an elderly lady who was pushed up way too close to the steering wheel and doing ~ 90KM/h in a 110km/h zone.  Not long after that I was passed by a black Porsche Panamera like i was sitting still.  It was moving fast!  Quite the contrast!

Drove past the open service bays at Crappy Tire on my way to the pharmacy, and saw a 650i 'vert in there

Haha! You must have seen my wife commuting to or from work. Kind of impressive because her commute is like two minutes.

That is an interesting 529 horsepower call for that old lady!

Goes to dealership, buys the "best" car because you can't be seen driving anything but the best... doesn't matter if it isn't a good fit. Saw that all the time in my hood in Toronto.

Thats a common scene around here with certain nationalities. Grandma/Grandpa or a 17 year old holding up traffic in an AMG/M/RS because how dare they get the base model.
