What's the most interesting car you saw today?

Today I thought I saw a Chev El Camino. Instead it was a car I didn’t know existed - the GMC Sprint, 1973. I was told, by its owner, it is America’s forgotten muscle car. And indeed, this on had a 454 in it. Very handsome vehicle.

for reference - not the one I saw:

Two cars in Long Island wine country.

A mid-70s Chevy Camaro Z28 in fine shape. I wish I had seen/heard it running.

Not a vehicle itself, but evidence of a vehicle…

Combining the above two posts - NY parkways are cars-only roadways. On Lawn Guyland the bridges are very low - 9 or 10’. It is a regular (as in at least almost daily_ occurrence to see some truck or another either can opener itself, wedge itself, or at least be smart enough to stop short but then be stuck on a 2-lane expressway. Robert Moses’s roadway design, especially including entrance & exit ramps leaves a lot to be desired.

:astonished_face:

What happened there? Pickup somehow went airborne and slammed into it sideways? Or was it on something that went sideways?

I’m guessing a dump truck that was up to unload instead of down to drive.

Sure, go for the horse. :smiley:

We have a one lane underpass with a 10’5" clearance. There are signs all up and down the road for nearly a mile, yet at least once a month a semi will try it and block up traffic for an hour trying to get unstuck.

In my area, we have the KK Can Opener, which I just noticed, has it’s own facebook page.

(Note: KK is the name the locals use for Kinnickinnic, the name of the street it’s on)

There’s a bridge in Durham, NC, that has peeled the roofs off of so many trucks that a YouTube channel and website were started to document the destruction. Even after the bridge was raised by eight inches a few years ago, truck drivers (usually of rental trucks) ignore the electronic signs that warn them to turn and end up having a really bad day.

Check the channel out for hours of schadenfreude. Here’s a random sample to get you started. Wait for the view from the second camera and note the reaction of the pedestrian.

That looks to me like multiple trucks/trailers have hit that bridge over time, not always in the exact same place. It appears to be in the midst of a repair: the old damaged concrete has been removed, in preparation for new concrete to be poured/installed.

One of the towns has a historic wooden bridge that keeps getting hit.

They are now selling t-shirts with a picture of the bridge captioned “Yeah, I’d hit that.”

That’s pretty funny!

Jag XKE, top down, going the other way

BMW Z3 M coupe. It looked like this one.

It looks like it wants to be a Porsche.

I think it looks like a cross between a Honda Civic and a Jag.

Or a reverse mullet. Party in the front and business in the back.

It looks like a shoe. Fun to drive apparently, but stylistically challenged.

…oting brake

No, it is a shooting brake

Today I spotted:

9YPA226 on a white CLA250 Mercedes Benz

9YRZ328

We’re getting closer to 9ZZZ###, and then the pattern will flip.
