Spotted on the road today

Immaculate Rolls' Silver Shadow in primrose, like this one...

With a set of gold-painted "truck nutz" dangling from behind...

Seen anything odd lately?

i saw a viper in primer and no left tail light. usually people take care of those

Luke: any hillbillies near you have a high-profile lotto win lately? Because that's really the only explanation.

I bet they traded up from a 1976 Holden Ute.

You're probably right, Jay.

The driver was wearing an 'Akubra' hat, and pretty much looked exactly like this guy, stupid grin and all.

that primer viper was probably a kit... they made them for a while. it's a whole body package that drops over a C4 vette...

I heard, then saw a new white lambo under full throttle out my office window on Friday.

Spotted a black(!) DeLorean last week in traffic.

And witnessed a balls out run down an onramp by an orange Gallardo, which is about the last thing I expected to see in my neighborhood at 8am on a weekday. Matter of fact, we get so many open-piped sportbikes on this section of highway that I almost didn't look back when I saw it, thinking it was some squidly assclown - and I guess it could have been, just with a different vehicle. Needless to say, I was surprised to connect that high-pitched wail to a V10; never heard one being driven in anger before.

My favorite vehicle sighting in recent history, though, was a few weeks ago. I have been beating myself up ever since for not being able to get a picture. Let me leave you with a few words to form the epic mental image yourselves: Ford. Escort. Pickup. The Escortamino.

Saturday afternoon in beautiful downtown Tysons Corner, VA I spotted a good-looking late 70s or early 80s Aston Martin in period correct metallic brown. Don't see those every day.

ARG. I have pictures of that thing on my home PC i think.

I flipped so hard over that Escortamino that my girlfriend figures all her suspicions about my craziness are now solidly confirmed. Her barely-bemused glances have increased in frequency and length. All because some guy had the nerve to keep his beer and his sawzall in the same place near his Escort.

There's a Buick Century (FWD) Camino I see somewhat often around my area. Saw it this weekend broken down on the side of the road.

I saw a tesla yesterday, I was driving from STL to FL and was getting gas in birmingham... he got on the onramp in front of me and turned into a beam of light... that damn thing accellerates so fast my xterra (floored!) couldn't even keep him in view going up the ramp! JEEZUS I R WANT TORQUES AT 0 RPMS!

I saw a 4WD Karmann Ghia.

I saw one very similar to this

I saw a "big" girl in very high heels and some seriously stressed spandex fall down a half a flight of stairs. I almost had to call an ambulance. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

A couple days ago I saw a Morgan aero. Real weird looking car.

I have seen these in the last few days:

You do realize you're going to hell for that, don't you? At least you'll be in good company.

Saw a pristine 2CV and a 64 'stang DD (complete with hitch!) on the commute to work this morning. Gotta love this town sometimes:

I saw a duallie Expedition in California. Kind of awesome, actually. And a Ferrari with side strakes (348? Mondial?) which is probably the second Ferrari I've seen here in a decade.

I saw an Esprit Turbo, a Europa TC Special and a Locost Seven.

Cheater....

Yeah, but how many of those were on the road?

Just to pick some nits, that Mustang looks like a '67 or '68.
