The old one. I don't pay attention to the new ones or the new MINI either. I see plenty of the old Mini's running around here just not many of the old Fiat 500's
"I think I win this thread for today:"
Only if it's real. We live almost around the corner from Factory Five and see their version all over the place.
"The old one."
SWEET ! ! ! !
I owned a 600 up until a year or two ago when a tree fell and crushed it !
In reply to TeamEvil:
It's psuedo-real. One of the Shelby-authorized Superperformance continuation cars. That the 74 year old owner put in a snow drift.
I saw an SLS AMG coming out of Brooklyn today for work. Pretty cool I guess. My coworker cut him off.
I was driving a baby blue Bentley Continental Flying Spur yesterday for work. I guess it is a unicorn since not many are on the road.

It might have been a 600, I didn't get a real good look at it as it was going the other way in a lot of traffic. I recognized the shape from seeing a lot of them on the road when they were new.
1977(ish) Firebird Formula and a 68 Camaro convertible in Daytona-while out shopping on Xmas eve! They weren't even parked far out to avoid dings, which makes my think daily drivers!
Qvale Mangusta. Saw it once ~10 years ago in Ventura, have spotted it twice in the last year in Newbury Park.

Have a Very Mullet Christmas.

X-Type Wagon? I don't know if they were imported originally. But it seems to me the only X-Types I see around here anymore are all wagons. I think it looks better than the Mercedes equivalent. Though I've never seen anything on their roof racks. What a waste of fuel.
I saw one of these rolling down M59 today. Thought it was a GTO at first and then did a double take.

More likely it was related to GM proving ground shenanigans. That complex is about 20 min from my house so every so often there will be random Euro GM things driving around town.

I saw an Opel something or other (maybe Spark sized) with manufacturer tags and a computer setup over the passenger seat, somewhere in Michigan.
That "Monaro" could also have been a GTO with Monaro bits on it. I seem to recall there being some sort of foreign exchange program where people with Holdens wanted Pontiac noses and vice-versa, because different. I suppose the only way to tell would be to see which side the driver was on.
Saw an early Fiero picking up my kids from school. Then saw a Delorean driving down to my friends house to work on his Exige S. It was a bizarre engine in the wrong spot day.
Ferrari Enzo. It came around a turn and left me stunned. Black, in beautiful condition, though the way it was being driven was very "tentative." Maybe he just bought it (they're all >$1M now) or maybe the owner let a friend drive it. Either way it sounded glorious.
