It was a spaceship. And they want your brain. (For study.)

Anyway, I saw my future car (someday) today... Audi RS6

Not bad! What's a used one go for these days?

Strange....I also saw an RS6 today(1 of 100 in Canada).

Previous-gen Viper convertible (black) and another SC430 (red).

I saw an '05 Black Mustang GT and a rusty VW Karmann Ghia. I'd rather have the Mustang

Well, I've seen a lot of nice cars over the past week and a half, but I can't remember them all, so I'll go with the ones I saw yesterday. An (new) LS430, a red XLR with "Bitch" across the top of the windshield (that's a waste, in my opinion), a red Viper (I saw it around last year, I guess it's just warm enough that the owner is driving it regularly again), and a Maybach 57.

Nice sightings, especially the Maybach. LS's are a bit common for a mention though, aren't they?

Saw a silver 645ci convertible, myself.

Probably so, but this one still had the window sticker up in the window, so I noticed it. This isn't a big town, so there aren't that many of them, but you're right, they're nothing rare. There is a 645 in town, I don't remember if I mentioned sighting that a while back or not. It's a nicer looking car in person than it is in pictures.

300Cs with custom grills (at dealership). A few MR2s (new and previous gen), I've also seen quite a few Buick Terrazas around and I think I really like the looks of them. I also saw a '70 Chevelle and a few other things but that was a few days ago so I can't remember.

You like the look of the Terraza?!? You're more gifted than I thought.

Yes I do, after seeing quite a few of them for a while it has grown on me, I like the looks of them better than any of the others.

Good grief. They're hideous, and the only thing they look better than is the other GM vans.

I saw a red Ferrari F355 spyder. And a few nice cars at the Albany Auto show (pics coming later)

Ferraris are always fun to spot... I'm pretty sure there aren't any in my area.

I don't hate the look of the new GM vans. Even the monster-grille Uplander has grown on me.

I saw sooo many converts yesterday...

That's sad.

And FireItUp, I have too. Since we've had about a week of sun and 70s, people are bringing out the convertibles.

What's sad is that I can only think of a few convertibles in our town (that are driven anyway). An early '90s Cavalier, a new Benz SLK, an MG Midget, and a VW Thing.
