Default So today I saw a.......

I got this idea for a thread today and thought i'd give if a try and see if we could all get a good laugh at the expense of others....


So today i saw a..... Really sweet purplish/blue Mustang LX with green undercar neons and extra nice windshiled graphics (in Spanish), some cool 15 in. American Racing (or something along those lines) wheels, if i remember correctly it was sporting a "rare USDM" roof scoop, etc. Thank god someone is keeping Pep Boys in business


Tell us about your "sweet ride sightings"

Today in the Lake of the Ozarks (Osage Beach) I was driving behind a gorgeous red Lambo Diablo spyder when a particular vehicle that I have never had the privilage of laying eyes on before drove past us going the other way - a red (red red) BMW Z8! OMG it was FABULOUS!!!

Although I assume nothing like Cali, Miami, etc, the Lake is a mecca for great cars! At the outlet mall this week I saw a Continental GT, Elise, tons of 911 cabrios, a brand new Jag convertible, etc! I was in heaven!

Where's the "useless without pics" banner when you need it! That Mustang sounds sweet

Just to be clear, that was sarcasm on my part. I can only imagine the pain that you suffered having to look at that thing

So today I saw a bright pink Chevy Lumina with about 20 inch spinners. I wish I'd had my camera! Oh my eyes....

Hmm reminds of a powder blue honda civic with bmw m3 front fenders, IS 300 tailights, spinning hubcaps, and a 2ft high wing, with some decal on the front, and side windows talking about ugly, and no taste.
