My whole life, I never paid attention to cars. But my 13 year old son is obsessed with them, so EVERY day (or close to it) he sees and points out cool cars I would have ignored.
So, these days, I see interesting cars constantly. I even notice them when my son isn’t around!
The most interesting one we saw yesterday was a souped up early Sixties Corvette.
As the season of fun cars comes to an end, they are disappearing into garages and being put on blocks. The best I can say for today was a Cayenne GTS.
Saw a Lamborghini Huracán with red rims a little while ago, nothing else all weekend.
A Dodge Charger hellcat.
My editing bay is inside one of the hottest music rehearsal stage buildings in Los Angeles, with wealthy famous musicians showing up all the time, so I arrive at work to find amazing cars pretty often. But this is the most interesting I’ve seen.
It’s an electric car of some sort (it was plugged in on the other side that I didn’t photograph). The badge reads “Sports Rider”. I can’t find much info about it online. One page that has a tiny bit of information on it is here, but even it says there’s not too much known about it. Apparently it was made by Kelsen Manufacturing, but there’s not much info about them either. No Wikipedia page.
Anyone know anything about it?
Not a thing, but it’s called an Electric Sports Rider and it’s adorable. There are some brochures available online.
Saw an Acura crossover of some sort. The unusual thing about it was the Guam license plate. Don’t see too many of those.
A Subaru Legacy Outback wagon in San Francisco. With Alaska plates. Personalized, with BURMA.
Disappearing into garages & being put up, yes. Blocks I’m not so sure about. I was walking down the street when I walked past a house with an open garage & the light on. Oh there’s a Model A…wait, what? 
Just how did they get that in there, & any guess as to what the other car is?
Plymouth maybe?
On the way into work I was next to a blue Maserati Quattroporte at a light. On the way home I was next to a white Wiattroporte at a stop. I’ve not seen many Maz’s in the wild. Was cool to see two today up close.
It looks like a truck bumper. Also like there’s room for a third car.
Mad respect.
I think I just fell in love with this car’s cartoony look. Want.
Two cars in the work parking lot this afternoon
Huh. I looked (googled) for this thread a couple of months ago, and found a locked thread. Must be another one.
So a couple of months ago I saw a right-hand drive Nissan Skyline.
I saw the first Maserati I’ve ever seen in the wild that I know of. A Ghibli. Funny thing was that I wouldn’t have even noticed it if I hadn’t been behind it at a stoplight for a while. I noticed the badge on the back after driving beside and behind it for a couple miles.
Last week on the way to work, I was driving alongside a brand new Jeep and suddenly realized it was right hand drive. No markings or special plates (regular, local plates) so it wasn’t a mail delivery vehicle. Looked too new and fancy for that as well.
Those will never be common, but we’ll see a good number of them in the future as they turn 25 and can legally be imported.
I saw a fairly rare car this morning: a Dodge Mirada. I’ve not seen one of those in the wild since the 1980s. They were only made for a few years and didn’t sell all that well so to see one parked on the street is truly a rare occurrence.
Oh yay! I’ve got friends who have been waiting.
Yesterday I saw an insanely cool looking Aston Martin parked in front of the Panera I was going into. I’m not familiar enough with their models to know what it was, but I think the vanity plates said DB9, so I assume that’s what it was. So sexy.
A lovely black Saab 96, surprised it’s still out on the roads in late November but the weather was lovely yesterday. Also a new Bentley coupe.
