Look at the parking lot nearest to you and using only the vehicles on the lot, pick out a car or two that you would like. No rules. If it's auto, you can make it manual. As long as it's a viable option, you can make that change. (OK. Some rules.)
On the lot out in front of me, after one of my partners asked, I picked out two cars. The G37 Sport edition and the VW Rabbit Wagon. It was at that time, we realized we could trade the Land Rover in and get a brand new Corvette and Cobra while still having enough money left over for the massive amounts of fuel we would burn. All vehicles would be preferred in manual, of course.
Yes, I got the crazy look for thinking the Rabbit was cool. But hey, he's a Porsche owner. We'll let it slide.
theres a velostar and a bagged obs chevy truck in thde lowes i passed this morning. thats all i saw that id be interested in.....
The Boxster and the 944 often catch my eye.

Raptor
Scion frs
And more diesel trucks than I can count
Only thing in our lot I would want is a 2011 Camaro SS that a girl here just got or a new Jeep Wrangler with a special package I don't remember.

We have a very small parking lot. I spend most of my time admiring the dumpster.
One of the 4 Volvo C30's out there, oh hang on, one of them is mine.
OK, I'll take one of the BOSS 302's that's out there instead.
Next Choice on of the Miata's
I am doing a job at Goddard Space Flight Center and i love coming in here there are 2002s, e30, old 911s i am always leaving notes on car. These guys love old german cars. My office is across the road from the employee gate and i see some great cars coming out of there
The only thing remotely interesting in the middle school car rider line is the SN195 mustang. I'll pretend it's a manual GT though I know it's an auto V6. Everything else sucks.
There is a 325XiT, Chevy 2500HD and ... oh. That's my driveway. I can see my neighbor's 944S2 from here. May I claim it?

My lot has a brand new Audi S4, an 850ci, 540i, Z3 Coupe (non M) and a handful of other cool stuff including a Veloster Turbo, Volvo C30
Would be a tough call, but I'd have to go with the new S4

Hmm, it's a board meeting day. I'm a torn between the bentley gt, the 2 997s or the R8. The benz CLS looks like a nice commuter.
at work the only car that interests me is the Cayman that comes in on nice days (I have not seen it since fall)

I'll take my Miata and one of the two Subaru wagons but changed to a manual transmission. There's a lot of beige and pickups in our lot.
Since the only parking lot around where I can "car shop" is at the elementary school.... I just can't really find anything there that isn't a mommy-mobile minivan/CUV/SUV.
About the only thing that rolls through would be a nice 4dr diesel truck, except needs it to lose the 4by....
This isn't fair to others... I'm I work for a dealer. Right now, I'd take the owner's Lingenfelter Z06, the 02 orange NSX.... I think that's enough for now.
Mine is the only car out there I want...everything else is pretty much silver Camrys.
In my work parking lot's garage, there is usually a gray GT-R parked somewhere. That is probably the best all-out performance car here. There are a few others I'd like to have though:
-a mint red 2009 Mazdaspeed 3
-a 2005 World Rally Blue STI
-a new Audi S5
-a red 1990 Honda Civic DX hatch with a stick with no rust
Everything else is a sea of gray and beige Camrys, Accords, and Altimas.
Slim pickings here, too. One nice Mustang GT (Coyote, stick). Can I count the Bobcat at our backlot construction site?
Another "slim pickings" office. It's mostly a mix of Priuses and RAV4s...

I work in a downtown and can't see my parking lot from the window very well. In the parking lot across the street I would take the Mitsubish iMiev.
one of my co-workers has a modified typhoon he drives on nice days. thats probably the most unique/rare car in this parking lot.
For some reason everyone here drives a late model Jeep of one sort or another. The only somewhat interesting cars are a clean Volvo 240 wagon and a late model Audi TT, but I haven't seen either in quite some time.
OK I am so going to take a picture if it still hear but I will take the 458 or the FF in the back lot. Bloody Qualcomm people bringing in shiny cars on a sunny day.
