Car-spotting thread

[rick81721]

Its a thing , like hot rod, rat rod, pro touring, tuner, mini truck, lifted truck, jeep... the list goes on... I appreciate all forms when its done right... This falls in that utilitarian subaru all wheel drive, wagon enthusiast categori... to stereotype the driver.. he looked like a @The Heckler

The XT model is a 2.5 turbo, so it almost makes sense. In Japan, they also made a Forester STi.

I guess... those mufflers don't look right to me.

@rick81721 the old forrester, sure....This one is a hideous abomination. Subaru is great at making each new generation of vehicle more ugly than the previous.

Agree - I owned a 2000 2.5RS as it was a neat little car yet was too brittle of a transmission for my liking.. that was before they brought the 2.0 sti to the US... Holy shit it was a blast in the snow... donuts for dayz

I remember showing up at Chimney rock and saw someone had a slammed forrester and @pearl was bonering over it...I was scratching my head like .... I don’t see it

What year is that, early 2000s? I had a 99 Legacy Outback, with 5M it was fun to drive and unstoppable in snow. Too bad it blew a head gasket right at 100K

When this body style first came out, we at the dealership where wondering what was they thinking.

The back end of a vacuum cleaner ? Has to be the ugliest vette ever.

They do perform better than it looks. If only there was a way to adapt the drivetrain/suspension to say a '70 Chevelle or early Camaro.

2018 mustang gt convertable.... On the gt emblem out back it says 50 years.. I think this is a typo


55 chevy sedan delivery.... House of the mouse is painted on the side so I take that it has an sbc

Doesn't look like an 18 - tail lights aren't right. Plus that spoiler doesn't exist for the GT, or the rear emblem

saw a rousch stage 3 on the highway today. Couldn't get a pic.

Friday is car night in Somerville. When the weather is like it is tonight, there are some must-see cars.
I like the street rods.....some really good entries.

I cruised thru in the GT350 2 weeks ago, good turnout (that was the first week).

I always enjoy going to that. I have to leave so early to get a spot I gave up taking my car and just take the daily down and park where ever.

Nice stuff in Somerville tonight, even though I got there like 8:30. No pics but White Lambo Gallardo Superleggra, 06 GT40, and corvettes aplenty.

Also was a Bimota Tesi 3D. The owner had on quite the outfit. Never seen a white leather buttondown style with collar motorcycle jacket and white leather motorcycle pants.

Looks like a 15 with an aftermarket spoiler and maybe even Euro taillights.

Yeah looks like one of those cheap 350R knockoff spoilers
