Re: Spotted Around Town
This guy passed us in the fast lane doing over 80MPH. Eventually he slowed down and changed lanes and we were able to catch up to him.

He was doing OVER 80 MPH and I was driving the Solara with my wife in the passenger seat who tells me to slow down when I get to 70 MPH.

Re: Spotted Around Town
Not exactly local but I saw this guy driving a new truck chassis on the highway from Queretaro to Mexico City a couple of weeks ago. He was going at least 70 mph. Check out that seat! It looked like a stunt from Top Gear.

Re: Spotted Around Town
That is just nuts. I do not see any safety belt but do see what looks like a license plate and check out the headlight.rally_x wrote:Not exactly local but I saw this guy driving a new truck chassis on the highway from Queretaro to Mexico City a couple of weeks ago.

And it's sporting some pretty deluxe wire wheel covers. Are those OEM? Or aftermarket?VWNate1 wrote:I believe the Met FHC is painted Groton Green .

Re: Spotted Around Town
Were the 2 Mercedes 300SL in the hardware parking lot for an event, or just randomly? Because even for santa barbara that would seem a pretty big coincidence?

When is the last time you saw a Crosley race car in an alley?
Or an early Chevy at a big brand tire shop?
