    One of my friends has a similar Porche but newer, and its ok but I'd never spend $90k on it even if I had that kind of money.

    If don't consider cars from museums and old car rally, then the oldest was this:



    Gaz 21- one of the most legendary soviet cars. (Car wich I saw wasn't in such a good condition, but still it was Gaz 21).

    P.s There was also another one- Gaz 69, but from Gaz it had only body and frame. All other was from UAZ 469.

    Every time I go to my local Culver’s I see this really clean Buick LeSabre. No rust, which is impressive, given our harsh winters and harsher salting. Not rare by a long shot, but a clean LeSabre? That’s rare. Every time I see it I just think

    nice

    More on topic is all the Model 3s I’ve been seeing. I’ve seen more in the past two weeks than I have the past two months. Must all be pretty new, cuz none of them have plates. Like the car, but really not a fan of the tacky dark gray plasticy lookin’ wheels.

    The other day (Friday) I saw a RR Phantom (2016) on my way back from dinner.
    Saturday
    Went to a race. On the way there we saw a new facelift GT-R (2017). Lost it eventually after getting a drink. Pulled up to the race pretty soon later. Someone drove a 911 GT2 RS in the parking lot. Also many GT3's nearby. They had a Performante (the booths) out for display. They also displayed a Ford GT (one also at the Ford booth), a ZR1, an LC500, and a car called the ATS GT. 1 of 12, priced at 3 million (but probably not worth that much). Also many other cool customer cars there. Alfa Romeo 4C, Giulia, an E-type, 3 NSX's, a Ferrari 308, and many more.
    Race goes on. Eventually we have to leave. As we're in the bus on our way to the parking lot, I spot the same GT-R parked next to a customized Huracan. On the way back to our place, we saw an R8.

    Later
    As the place was close to our path back home, we decided to stop at an exotic dealer chain. They had the orangest car I've ever seen. Eventually we leave and get caught in traffic.
    Also, congratulate yourself if you read the entire thing. Here's a cookie as a reward.

    Oh, I forgot to mention -
    On our way to the dealerships we passed an orange Huracan. Soon about 10 minutes later legitimately saw a yellow SLS AMG Black Series being followed by a G Wagen. Then we saw a different bright green Huracan spider after turning around.

    Today I saw a 1970 Dodge Charger IRL for the first time. I had just left the theater when I saw it on the opposite side of the intersection.

    The city I was in was either having, about to have, or had an event for older cars.

    Cool! I saw one last year at a car show in November, maybe I’ll see it again.

    The last thing I thought I would see in Ohio, of course I didn't have my camera and I never use my phone so I couldn't get a actual pic of it, it was a nice light blue color.

    That’s pretty unfortunate to not have your camera. I’ve missed super cars but never a hyper car. At least you have he memory of it though ;)

    I've just seen a 2019 Ford Fusion for the first time, in an unexpected place.

    So first of all I'll start with the easier thing.
    On my way back from [place], and the lane to the left is stuck in a bit of slow-moving traffic. I see a pair of taillights and think it's the Camaro, but it's actually an RX-7! I couldn't get a rear shot but got a front picture. In front of it was an older generation of an RX-7 I believe. The older car is mainly in the picture but the other RX-7 is still in it. I believe it was a Spirit R. It's also my first EVER RX-7

    I think I might've seen a legit Shelby Daytona. I was looking at some plants (at a plant shop) when I heard a really loud, low pitched engine. Turned around to see this beauty of a car. It was rolling by at maybe 20-30 so I couldn't look for long. Grabbed my phone and quickly snapped a picture of the back. The car apparently drove by again but barely missed it. Took a picture but it was a really bad shot as a pole is in the way of most of the car. Hoping it's real! Thanks for reading :)

    Yeah. Like 2 weeks ago at an event I saw a Cobra. Assumed it wasn't real and it wasn't, it was just a kit. It was pretty quiet, too, and I've heard how Shelbys are pretty loud. This one was loud and deep (and sounded really good!). Too bad I couldn't record it, but there's videos on YouTube. Considering that it was a rich area, it could've been genuine.
