What neat car did you see today?

[bbhaag]

Saw this really well done custom Batmobile on the way home from work today. Pics don't do it justice because the amount of detail was insane.







Fat fingered the interior pic....which is a shame becasue the detail inside was incredible.

Found another one for everyone to check out but a little back story first.

We just purchased a '99 Honda Accord with 60K miles on it. It's for our youngest son who turned 16 back in March. So we decided to take it to the local dealer to have it looked over and some basic maintenance done.

Anyway, while we were waiting I spotted this neat little '78 Honda Civic CVCC and just had to check it out. Thing was clean as a whistle and only has 9.9K miles(15K km)on it. What a neat little car!

So I spotted this turd while having dinner tonight. The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet was one of the most perplexing vehicles Nissan ever manufactured. It's a rare gem that cost over $47K new in 2011 so that equates to over $65K in todays money........for a Nissan Murano.






For the Doug fans on the forum of which I am one of them he ripped the shit out of this thing 7 years ago when he reviewed it.

It looks to be a well taken care of example.

Odd vehicles like that tend to find odd people long down the road for unreasonable amounts of money.

I saw a Corvette today, with a personalized Montana license plate. Said BOBA something, and it was outside a boba tea shop lol. Kinda odd seeing a Montana plate in Milpitas though. Whole thing was kinda funny.

That's the car my dad had when I was a wee one. Mercifully though, it wasn't brown.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Saw a McClaren of some type on the GW parkway yesterday. Couldn't tell exactly which model though

Sorry it is not a good picture. The picture was taken from the back seat of our car. Unfortunately you can't see the red interior. Dude was loving life driving this beauty around.

I remember seeing one IRL a few years ago & thinking it's one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen in person. And yet the people who have them ADORE them lol!

Of course it is parked terribly barely inside the lines of that enormous spot. Hard to believe anyone actually paid money for this POS

 

[desy]

Was a old hot rod like this driving in front of me at dusk the other night, one of his taillights were burnt, looked like led aftermarket

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Just my car, when I looked outside. (I haven't gone anywhere today.)

I mean, it's not like, fancy or anything, but I still think it's pretty neat.

 

[Ackmed]

Went to Gatlinburg, they have a few car displays. One has over 50 cars from movies, F&F series, Gone in 60 Seconds, etc. The other is super cars from today's times. Our youngest is a car fanatic, knows so many makes an models. He had a blast, here are just a few. Two of my top 3 all time favorites, one of the Elenors, and Ford GT. Ford Cobra is my other favorite. Above all else.

Saw one of these in Scottsdale recently. I'm surprised there aren't more of these types, since people want high riding SUVs but they also like convertibles, and there are still some people that don't need to play tough guy with a big squared off Jeep or Bronco. Actually I'd even go so far as to say its a missed opportunity by GM to make a modern Aztek that's basically a Jeep but doesn't look like one. They could make it more aerodynamic, potentially more practical as well. The name would be a tipoff that its meant to be ugly. Hire Breaking Bad duo for the marketing campaign and it'd do well enough if done worthwhile. Maybe make the Volt as it was intended (i.e. electric drive only with small engine purely for range extending/in this instance double as like off grid generator).

You know why? Lots of wealthy people register their expensive cars in Montana for tax purposes.

(ignore it saying page unavailable, the link works)

Wouldn't surprise me that even 2 bit small business owners with wannabe aspirations of being ultra wealthy are doing the same thing. Hopefully other states start clamping down on this BS, but well its been going on this long (that article is from 2016), and Montana has intentionally setup an entire racket around it so doubtful. Wonder how long before the wealthy start paying a foreign country to give them special status and then register their cars there so people can just commit automotive crimes (getting parking tickets, speeding, etc) with impunity.

Name this car! Hint, they literally had the first customer delivery this week.

tax loophole, very common with high end cars.

faraday something? thought they died due to lack of funds.

 

[NutBucket]

Yep. Indeed it is a Faraday Future. One of the few times I literally had no clue what it was until I saw the badge. This one had MFG plates.

Also to avoid those pesky CA emissions...which is why I would do it.

Really? I'm surprised you think this way. The Murano CrossCabriolet and the Pontiac Aztek were abysmal failures. They may have a cult following now but at the time of their initial launch both vehicles did not sell very well and were cancelled within a few years.

I'm not saying a vehicle like these wouldn't succeed today but I can certainly see why automotive manufacturers would be hesitant in bringing one to market. But who knows....Ford brought back the compact pick-up truck and it has been a runaway success.

nah that nanny state doesn't recognise out of state smog test results. not sure how they can track the vehicle but they probably have their methods down to nail your ass to the wall and fine you thousands if you fuck around.

 

[NutBucket]

That's the point. You register you car in Montana and emissions tests don't matter.

Unless you're a moron and attract attention, nobody will care.

 

[AdamK47]

Saw a low mileage red (real color: Some Like It Hot) manual 2017 Chevy SS with Holden badging a couple of weeks ago.

That's a car that can still sell for well over it's original MSRP. Will probably continue to do so.

The 2015 manual SS I had with LSA blower, cam, headers, and full exhaust would have held its value well... had the person I sold it to not totaled it.

 

[Fenixgoon]

on Sunday, I saw two neat cars.

1) pretty sure it was a new (C8) corvette Z06
2) fisker karma


edit: looking up prices, the fisker karma almost looks like a hidden gem? 2012 models going for 30-35k. uses a GM engine, and the battery pack I would guess is swappable with more recent Karma Reveros (the continuation model under new owners)
