Vehicles spotted in your neighborhood

Spotted this guy right around the corner from our house.


There’s just something about the Fisker that I don’t like. I much prefer the Model S Tesla.

Apparently my neighbor around the corner bought the Fisker as it has been parked there everyday. I disagree with the comparison with the Tesla. They are in different classes. The Tesla is a very well sculpted sedan, the way a CLS, A7, or even a Sonata is nicely sculpted. The Fisker however is something very different proportionally. It is more squarely in the Aston Martin Rapide realm. On the street it looks like a 4 door supercar. The wheels are a bit comically large, and there is a notch too much detailing in my opinion, but it is far more special a car. It will be a classic.

Totally different concepts, but there is some kind of Cheetah-esque vibe going on with the Karma.

I agree that they are different, I guess I was just giving preference to one electric super car over another. I used to see a Karma every day on my commute home, and while it certainly caught my eye ever time, I think the front end just seems off to me. Side view, rear view, looks great. But the front of it just kills me every time.

Must be some sort of pre-production spy camera cloaking on this one… I thought GM ditched Pontiac?

Here is a bunch from the last couple of weeks:

Sweet VW spotted in HCMC, Vietnam. I don’t know enough about these to assess its rarity, but it’s the nicest one I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t know how you keep these from rusting away in that climate.

Judging by the small, painted turn-signal housings, a 1951-ish Samba. Rarest of the rare. Sahweet!

How rare? $217,800.00 at Barrett-Jackson > Volkswagen bus fetches $217,800 at Barrett-Jackson auction

The article identifies this one as a 1963. The one you spotted, being older, and in mint (apparently) condition… … $$$

23 window bus… VERY RARE. I think the $2xx,000 is a little too much. Expect $30,000+ though for anything above average.

Hagerty says $30 G’s on a 52 Samba

But they have the 59 Deluxe at 22 or so.

Still a beautiful example.

Saw this Oldsmobile 88 Holiday in Nashville




And an absolutely bizarre Plymouth Belvedere (majestic name)

Bonus: Hot Wheels Oldsmobile DONK and Chromey hubcap from an Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 I picked from a salvage yard

HSV Commodore, Chapel St. South Yarra, Melbourne.
