Cool Cars you see on the road thread...

[Cray Paper]

Not sure if there an "official" thread for really cool or new vehicles spotted on the road? I've seen some awesome hardware while trudging to and from work over the last 40 years.


I spotted this today on the way home between Kirkland and Woodinville in WA State going northbound on I405. I saw it in the rear view mirror and noticed the exotic car profile and trident looking badge in the front lower grill and thought that's a Maserati but my mind was thinking it must be some newer model of Ferrari. The profile matched what I think a Ferrari would have, but it was lower and smaller. While it passed me I saw an emblem on the side in chrome that said MC20, then after it passed me I saw the chrome Maserati script logo on the rear hatch lid. Anyone seen one of these before in the wild? It was a refreshing take on the modern mid engine super car and I didn't know they existed.

In my years commuting all over the Puget Sound area I've seen about every muscle car, old classic and exotic made. McLaren's, high end Bentleys are common around here, even in crappy weather. I've seen a couple Bugattie Veyron's but my most memorable spot was an F40 absolutely destroying a Honda S2000 owners ego on I5 about 20 years ago. I heard that F40 before I saw it and watched the exhibition in speed in real time, that thing was fucking fast and I dint know what it was until I got home and googled it.

Anyone else see some hot new transportation on the road lately?

No pics but saw some good looking corvairs moving on the 126 towards Ventura.

Friend bought the Maserati MC20, and few weeks later he decided he doesn't like it. He has a Huracan. maybe the Maserati doesn't have the same performance? I thought it's a good looking car though.
The Maserati to have is the MC12 below.

Yup MC 20 Spider, looks fun and another car this well pummeled body would struggle to gracefully exit

2024 Maserati MC20 Review, Pricing, and Specs

The 2024 Maserati MC20 blends a high-tech turbo V-6 with carbon fiber construction in a decidedly Italian package that’s as exciting to look as it is to drive.

Where I live in SD county is just inland a few miles from Rancho Santa Fe. The home of countless exotics that are tucked away in garages.
On most any Sunday while traveling towards the coast along 2-lane Del Dios Highway, you'll be treated to numerous examples being driven by old-money family elders, coming straight towards you, hopefully staying on their own side of the highway.

Being here in havasu you see really cool cars all the time. There is a wide variety of rods , muscle cars etc. Go down to Main Street on a nice Thursday afternoon and check them out.The most exotic car I have seen in the wild was when I was a kid growing up in redondo beach. There was a guy probably a rocket scientist working at TRW who would drive by my house every morning in a Lamborghini Miura. I could hear that car coming from three blocks away. Bright yellow and now worth north of four million dollars.

My area is fairly wealthy. Do see dozens of Porsche Cayanne's and Macan's when going out. See Rolls Royce Cullins too. I barely notice these days.

Cars, trucks, and motorcycles, I like a version of all and prefer to see them in motion. Not this motorcycle or passenger but it makes me wonder what she was thinking every time I see it.

I saw a Cyber truck in person for the first time. He was cruising in the carpool lane, I was 2 lanes over and falling behind in traffic so it was more of a glimpse. Looked big, it reminded me of a Hum-V. Cool to finally see one, but
I still think it’s ugly.

I saw this one in the gas station parking lot while in SC this weekend.

Being in SoCal it’s rare to see something makes me go wow. See so much you get use to it. Especially going to San Clemente cars and coffee.

I'm working in Micro Soft land and saw one a couple of times weeks before the roll out. Probably has to do with how MS almost supplies Teslas or Volvos to Indian workers...It is really eye opening how many Indian nationals work for MS and drive Teslas.

Looked wide but kind of short in height to me, might have been due to the angular roof. I came away thinking most pictures of vehicles don't do them justice, but in this case, it looked just like the pictures.

Seeing 4 at once didn’t impress me. But then again seeing gays in public is becoming more common.

Craziest thing I’ve seen in awhile was this truck. Well 3 trucks if we’re counting.

Wonder what it is hiding under that wrap ??

I'm surprised I haven't seen a Cyber truck on the road here. When I take Bella the dog out front to pee. In the 10 minutes we are out front at least five Tesla's drive by my house.

Edit in: a few Lightnings in my neighborhood.

Got some pictures of my friend's Tatra V-8 somewhere, champagne colour. Anyway, check it out here. The chinese in richmond in their fancy supercars are baffled when see Gary driving it around there.
The Tatra was tested /designed using the only air tunnel built for the airships in the early days, for drag coefficiency.
