The "I Can't Believe I Just Saw That" Thread (56k Warn?)

Yep, that's right! I figure we've all seen some pretty interesting stuff out on the road, and for those of us fortunate to have a camera handy, it'd be fun to post it here along with whatever story it may have. I seem to remember hearing about someone on this board or another seeing a Viper .. I'd have like to have seen that.

Unfortunately the only rare car I've seen hereabouts is an old Shelby convertible, but I didn't have my camera with me for once. This will suffice until I go out later tonight and see what I can get.

I didn't believe this at first as I was pulling out of a parking space. But indeed .. it did exist, and Adam is there to give some kind of idea of how much this thing stuck out. - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/exeternaen/Friends%20Stuffs/DSC00457.jpg

This looks like a Lancer Evo wing! ... On a .. Celica .. Uhhh .. - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/exeternaen/Friends%20Stuffs/DSC00458.jpg

Wish I travelled with my camera.

There is a guy with an old shelby in my neighborhood. I also used to see this guy with a Viper when I lived in Michigan.

That wing is butt ugly!!!

you should submit those to

ricecop.com



And to better post those pics when you open up photobucket under the pic you'll see three options one says url one says img and is tag. Click on the one that says img highlight the entire line of code copy it and paste it to your post and walla the pics are posted here so we don't have to navigate other places.

I think that celica is a panasonic edition. There is one here that I've seen around.

the things that people do.....

Oh come on, you did those with photoshop right?

I almost wish I had.

Yeah, that one's on Ricecop, Zuul. You should go look, they have more shots of it.

Herc, that site is hilarious. And it has no GPs on it, so yay!

i wonder how they go through fast food drive throughs...

I have a brother-in-law who has a Kia...this thing looks ridiculous...oh my ...I don't even know where to start to describe it to you all but I'll try to get a pic of it tonight if I see him...to give you a taste of how ugly this thing is he has spray painted his hood to change color in the sun and he has a wing and it was too big so, he cut the middle out of it

This is one I have to see...

Haha, no kidding! I want to see that too, it sounds .. interesting.

It reminds me a "piñata" i had for my 8th birthday.

Man I need a digital camera. There is a guy around here with this little car. I think it may even be an old Geo. Its definently got about 4 different colors and an actual coffe can for an exhaust tip.

as for someone seeing a Viper, I've seen several around here in WI. A few out on teh interstate, and 2 or 3 around town. Oh yeah, can't forget the shiny red one in the dodge dealership showroom.

Haha!


There's a Ford GT at a dealership around here somewhere; I'm gonna go look at it this weekend just to drool on their nice clean floor. And .. get pictures of something better than this.



We parked next to that at A-kon, then found this Accord in the parking garage:





Then at Best Buy:



........ Type S.

A Malibu Type S?????? OMG....

S for sucks, right?

oh yeah, last month somebody crashed into my brother's malibu and totalled it.

i'd like him to get a GP (cause they're awesome and stuff), but it might be too weird with two in the driveway, etc, etc... so i'm trying to get him into an impala (3.8L). same looking front end as his malibu (haha), with a sweet powertrain and a slick rear.

You know what? I've seen this on so many cars around my town. It sounds worse then a weed wacker muff. Sounds like a bumble bee buzzing around a microphone.

some of them are just too funny.

Ok...I finally, got some pictures of my brother-in-laws car...there not the greatest but they work for now...

redfire -- that is disgusting and hilarious at the same time! Despite the impossibility of it that car blows and sucks at the same time...

i love the bondo around the base of the wing. Does he really have NOS like the sticker says?

He doesn't have nos...

I'm gonna get some AMG stickers for my Dakota.

I love the blue stickers on the Kia's headlights.

I think I might need some pictures of the owner, even though I already have him pictured in my head.

I can probably get one for you...I'll see what I can do...your probably right about how you picture him though hahahaha

This is the only one I can find right now...he's the groom

the more I look at that Kia the more the front end resembles some sort of acid-trip-induced-evil-leprechaun monster.... not to mention the fuzzy overspray on the hood on the left-side silver strip area

I just died a little inside after seeing those pics. I'll have to get some of this late 80's ford aspire with a whale tail driving around out here...I almost threw up the first time I saw it.

I also have to comment on the fact that he has "Nos" stickers, thus implying that he has nos, yet can only afford hubcaps....that's awesome

Lovin' the antenna on that Kia! That's horsepower out the wazoo right there. Especially since it's complimented with duct tape racing stripes. Or is that...paint???

OK that Kia is the Funniest damn thing I have ever seen. LOL! PLEASE send that to Ricecop!!! LOL I know it will be a feature!!

It's actually, spray paint w/some major overspray...I didn't get a pic of the rear yet but it's the best

Ill have to get pics of the 3.8 Camaro sporting Z28 badges and a nice sized black plexiglass bowtie on the hood. The reason I know it a 3.8 is b/c I looked at it while it was at a local dealer b4 it was sold.

Got alot for you guys this time. First is something badass we saw at the Little River track a couple of weeks ago, before I left on a vacation to Colorado. Check this out:



I never got to see it run .. I don't know where it went, because I don't remember seeing it after that. And even with The Good, you have to have The Bad ..



And then today, me and a friend went car hunting so she'll know of places to look once her '92 Achieva kicks the bucket. Plus, it gave her time and experience looking at cars, new and used, and listening to me ramble.

A used car place had .. this.



And just for giggles,





Then we dropped by the new car dealerships, to pine for things we cannot yet afford, such as this sweet Benz.




Post continued below!

Further down the road was a Cadillac/Mitsubishi dealer. There was one CTS-V there, but it's nothing to look at unless you pop the hood, which of course we couldn't do .. However, they had a couple of the new 06 Eclipse GTs that have been discussed here, so I snapped a few photos.






The sticker's somewhat hard to read, but it's in the $24k-$25k range. Pretty nice.

and that does it from our roving reporter/cameragirl/shutterbug...Arcxnus!...keep up the great work, enquiring minds want to know the latest in REAL "street trends"

kinda funny about that new eclipse with it's 3.8, you know how alot of these import guys say OHC gets better gas milage than pushrod?
the epa rating for our 3,8s (at for the GTs) is 20 in the city and 30 on the highway, whereas the Eclipse is only 18 and 27

Arcxnus is flying!!!! LMAO!



Good one.

redfire,

what is your brother-in-law thinking????

That's a ? I have no answer to...I'm not sure I know anyone on his stupidity level but what cracks me up the most is that he actually thinks his car is the poop

You're going to be edited by the mods for the language.....

Oh yeah... tell your brother:

"Ummmm.... yeah..... right......"

That's my friend Cassie.

Now that I look at it ..

wing .. flying .. Makes sense!

Oops! My bad Arc!

:p No big deal; we look and act way similar.

That pic with Cassie and the wing is classic. No question.

I should rename this to .. "The I Can't Believe How Similar These Cars Look Thread".



Slight fender flares, similar hood curvature, similar front fascias, mean looking headlamps. Red. It's almost like looking at a current car with a next gen beside it!

Scary.

Also, the end of this video has a pretty badass T/A stunt.

http://www.uponone.com/videos.php?id=616

Check it out!

Sorry Arc, i don't think they look alike...maybe some forms but...

Wait, wait .. I have a better idea ..

Nice, Arc!!!!

Are you giving alcohol to a minor?

That's root beer!!!

I'm here with another round of neat stuff for you guys.

We went and traded my mom's 2003 Cadillac CTS in today for a 2005 Silverado Z71, fully loaded and all that, but that's not even all. The dealership is Buick-Pontiac-GMC, so they'd have interesting stuff right? Well, contained herein are pictures of

- 2 2005 Grand Prix GXPs. That's right! Two!
- 1 2005 Bonneville GXP
- 2 GTOs, both with appearance packages. 2004, & 2005.

All at the same dealership!

The first GXP I found was waiting to be put in inventory, I'm sure. It's a neat metallic plum color.







And the other that I found by accident was black. BEAUTIFUL.






Our new Z71!



Post continued below!

The sticker for the black GXP was this.



And then the Bonneville GXP in the showroom, alongside a beautiful old T/A.






And the goats!

I see an SE in the background....right????

And a chevy trailblazer

EDIT...............
In the pic of your friend stuck through the wing....

looks like a grand am in the background

noooo!! is this the return of the Grand Am VS Grad prix thread?

I REALLY want a Bonneville GXP in Black.

Grand Am Vs. Grand Prix? HA... There is no contest.

The GTO on the right is an 04 look at the exhaust outlets they're on the same side.

Yeah, I said that.

That 2004 has been there for a really long time. There was also a used one over in another lot, which surprised me.

last week's vacation stash
(this fits into this thread, right?)

I see liquid death in the middle, on top.

Glad to see you're still with us, Zuul.

At least you have kool-aid.

is that not the best variety we could come up with??

One very confused Sunfire.

that looks retarded

Maybe he needed a new trunk lid and bumper cover. If the parts fit and the price is right might as well. Cavalier Sunfire it's all the same

I can top all you guys!! See the bottom of this thread. Ahhh engineering.

http://www.grandprix.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=003870;p=1

hey ARC why dont you post some pics of your new decals that i saw tonight that made my week looks like someone is going ricer on us.

Stop harassing me. Someone delete that, please.

Everything ok???

arc im not harassing you i just posted what i saw on valley mills which the last time i checked was a public road along with the local racing strip which i visit on a regular basis where as you almost never vist so me seeing you there would make me think that you are harassing me. but hey if you want to delete that then one of the admins can do so. but dont call my phone again there is no longer a reason for you to ever talk to me.

holy cow Batman do i sense some hostility?

Grow up. This isn't the place.

didnt want to make it the place sorry guys.

Now to get back on topic. I saw this car today ... enough said.

That and Tastybake's post officially beat the stuffing out of my Cavalierfire.

I don't mind these. See them all the time.

That thing is sweet looking.

ROFLMAO!...its the cutlass monster truck!...appearing soon at an arena near you along with the GraveDigger!

I didn't see this, just got it off another website.

I guess they guy has coffee cans on his headers as "smokestacks"

OMG!!! ROFLMAO

Nice green rims, too.


I saw this on the way back from Dallas this weekend.



Yes, that IS a spoiler on that camper.

And not really as funny, but a two for one deal at the mall.

I got yelled at by mall security for taking a picture of an Eclipse with a monstrosity of a wing on it. The lady said it's illegal to take pictures on their property, and that "I looked suspicious, like a stalker, the way I stopped and snapped the picture." She asked me why I took the picture of the car, and in a loss for words, I shamefully stated "Uh, I like that car, it's cool."

This last weekend I saw a new Pontiac G6 with Type S on it. Just about lost the ice cream that I just ate. Sorry, didn't have a camera with me.

We could all learn from Arc and carry our cameras with us all the time.

Just kidding ARc, your photos are the best.

I'm glad you all enjoy them so much. I had hoped I'd give a little bit of entertainment with all the weird stuff I find around my town. Now I go out and everytime I see something, I think, Man the guys at GPNet will LOVE this.

*cough*

Arc,

did you get busted? Why are you at the police station???

I need to get a smaller digital camera. Mine takes decent pictures but it's a brick!

I've got my second camera in less than a year due in next week (Sony has really gone to crap on their cameras). I'll keep my crappy sony in the glove box when my new Kodak gets here. There's a car where I work that has a fart can and alpine stickers on it.
I saw a Grand Am up the street from my house that had two white racing stripes down the center of the car... they are painted on and applied with a paint roller, the kind you paint walls with. I'm getting a pic of it if I see it again.

Nah, I was at an Exxon where three police guys had stopped to eat at the Subway there. The third car is behind the camera. I figured it was the perfect photo opportunity.
