Notable car sightings

This was in the parking lot this afternoon...

Saw a green Plymouth Superbird on the way home from work the other night. It was being driven very carefully and slowly. It's like he was treating it like it was a virgin bride on her wedding night.

Saw a CR-X. Realized I hadn't seen one in a long, long time. Looked in really great condition.

A plated UTV... or at least thats what it looked like.

It said Raptor on the side and I am not aware of Indiana having the ability to make them street legal like some other states.

Saw the new Civic Type R. Busy as fuck, but better looking than I thought it would be. The front half is very previous gen WRX-y

Did it look like any of these? If so they are street legal, just like the Suzuki minitrucks and vans you see from time to time.

Maybe. It was enclosed with a jeep type top though.

I randomly ended up behind a Jaguar while driving the Jaguar. I knew the next body style (X350) got a lot bigger than mine (X308) but I did not appreciate how much.



My hood is level with the top of the rear bumper. Sheesh - it's no wonder the newer cars look so slab-sided... they are gigantic! It's like a whole second Jaguar on top my Jaguar.

Apparently, there's a Viper ACR living in the neighborhood across the street. I've seen it twice in the last two days.

Silver/black, with all the bits/bobs on it, and no license plate.

I need to be quicker with the phone.

I know it's cheating with the Petersen being a car museum and all, and I had no time for pics today but will go back. Saw Niki Lauda's 1976 and Michael Schumacher's 2006 Ferrari F1 cars.

Also got to go see Marshall Pruett talk about all the AAR cars in the Dan Gurney exhibit. Interesting hearing about the massive success with the Eagle GTP car in the early-to-mid 90's with Toyota, only to have a complete falling out between the two where now Gurney will get really noticeably angry if you refer to it as the Toyota Eagle GTP.
