I don't have a picture for this one, but while I was riding the bus through Riverside yesterday, I saw a 1974+ Chevy Vega on someone's lawn. It was seriously beat-up and did not look like it ran, but it's the first one I've ever seen nonetheless. Next to it was an equally beat-up 1975-77 Ford LTD sedan.

A polish-Korean design, productionised by the British, bought out by the Russians and now, two generations of Transit seen off, back in Britain imported by the Chinese:

Now that's globalisation ! :grin:

Seen yesterday ( but not uploaded until today because flickr is slower than a 1st gen Pontiac Firefly towing a Ford Excursion.... ) . Fiat 126 . I'd like to know the possible year range . i think it might be 1984+ judging from what i saw/read on internet but i don't think i ever saw one

This 126 is from the years 1978-83 (till mid-1983). Since May 1983 to early 1985 there was only the "Fiat 126" badge on the back (w/o "Personal" trim badge) and then in 1985 the facelifted version was introduced.

Saw this 1993 Ford Tempo today. It looks depressed... :lol:

I saw two more of that generation Ford Tempo while driving later that day, oddly enough.

Thanks weasel1984 :smile:

i first thought it was 1984 or over because of the bumpers because i saw a bunch of chrome ones on older ones on google..

Installed a dashcam in my car last night, so now I can show you guys the cars I see while driving. Too bad I didn't install it a day earlier - I could have shown you guys a 1979 Chevy Malibu coupe and a 1983-86 Ford LTD that I saw on the freeway yesterday...

Anyway, is this Lexus a legit Lexus or is it a custom job?

Always fun to see a M5 ( it was one, not in the pic , the 4 exhaust pipes and the fender vent make me believe so ) . What drew my attention even more was the M5 badge... some of our Europeans friends will spot why quite quickly.. :grin:

4 is a 1986 only Tercel ( CHMSL )

8 is 1986-1989 by CHMSL and tail lights( or 1990 , in Canada, only the wagon made it to 1990 but i don't know for USA )
18 , 1982 is good but its a Celica only
28 looks like a Cutlass Supreme ( or one of its friends )

16. with the pointy nose, it's actually a Dart Sport coupe, the Duster twin
17. Buick Estate wagon rather than Ford
20. looks like a brown Chevelle sedan hiding behind the fence
23. 1972 Honda Z600 coupe rather than the N600 sedan

Reply to Baube:

Not an everyday sight here in Belgium, though that in North-America it is probably quite common

interesting bug of the forum, I don't know why there is a Charger capture attached to my post :figti:
It must come from elsewhere (but I didn't upload it), if I delete it I'm afraid it will disappear from its original location where it may be useful :grin:
23/07/2016 @ 21:36:03: night cub: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
It belongs on the Silk Stalkings page, submitted by HunterMan. Not sure how it ended up in your post.

I just added to that page, so you can delete here.
