Early 70’s BMW 2002 parked on the street in Harvard Square. Lovely looking car, I’ve never driven one.
I know that particular gentleman. He’s got come amazing stuff tucked away in his garage.
I see a Tesla sitting at the local power company’s charger almost every time I drive by. I wonder if it has the range to get out f the lot.
I’ve got a '63 “one owner European Delivery” 220SE for sale, cheap! Not far from the Bay Area! PM me!
I’ve also got a '71, not for sale. Don’t PM me. ![]()
I will let you drive it if you bring beer.
Luckily, I have. They were amazing for their time and are still a treat - provided the owner replaced the original, horse hair stuffed seats. Darned uncomfortable for a trip across the country.
Strictly speaking, this isn’t a car, but I saw one of these, in Arlington, VA yesterday evening (April 7th): Polaris Slingshot. Decidedly striking, in a sea of typical cars and SUVs.

1963 Plymouth Belvedere.
Not common!
A Rolls-Royce Wraith.
A Formula Junior
I live in South Texas where basically any car that isn’t a large pickup, a very large SUV, or a muscle/pony car stands out. Today, I was behind a very small Smart car for a while!
I worried about the driver being blown off the road by some of the neanderthal vehicles that whiz by. It takes real guts to drive a car like that here.
Aston Martin Cygnet
Had never heard of it, but Aston Martin Badge looked so out of place I had to google it
£30,000 for a car with a top speed of 106MPH & 0-62 in 11.8 seconds :eek:
Wow, that probably qualifies as one of the rarest cars seen in this thread. There are, apparently, only 143 on British roads.
I remember reading about the Cygnet on Jalopnik a few years back. I really liked the headline on their article.
Saw a local guy’s '48 Jeepster in his garage. On nice days he tools around the island like this one. Same color, too.
On vacation last week I saw an Astin Martin Rapideparked on the road in downtown Melbourne, FL. Sharp car!
A few minutes ago in Kettleman City, a main stopover along I-5:
A 1970 Chevelle SS396.
I used to have one. I miss that car!
Jet black Aston-Martin DB2 driving down a main street: every guy stopped in his tracks to dribble. And a rather nice sky blue Sunbeam Alpine was parked up outside my local garage when I took my car in for a service: looked unrestored and original, but in great shape.
Do you live in, like, 1957 or something? ![]()
Well, nothing as cool as most of these, but I saw one of my favorite cars from when I was a kid…it was a 1970 (or '71) Dodge Challenger. It was in gray and black and looked like a retro-mod with nice fat tires on the front and back and a cool spoiler and hood mounted air-intake. Damn it was nice.
Saw a 72 Olds Cutlass driving home from NH this afternoon. The windows were down and the guy driving looked very happy.
