What’s the coolest vehicle you’ve ever spotted in Sacramento? On a recent trip to L.A., I was astonished by how many Aston-Martins, Ferraris and the like that oh-so-casually blew past me on the 405.
Here in Sacramento, I’ve had to make do with the one-time sighting of one of the Maloofs in a red Ferrari, along with midtown spottings of a classic Edsel, and in East Sac an original two-tone Nash Metropolitan and the 50th anniversary edition of the Ford T-Bird. Oh, and you can still spot a few old convertibles of the “Fix It Again, Tony” variety, a/k/a a Fiat 124 Sport Spyder convertible (I owned a ‘69 in red once) or a classic “The Graduate” version of the Alfa Romeo.
So … what have you all seen, and where? And if you’re looking for me, I’m in a nondescript ‘98 Plymouth Voyager … sigh.

what about the “abortion” bus with all of the pictures? That’s a pretty unique conveyance in the I-puked-in-my-mouth-a-little-bit kind of way.

Saw an old Cadillac hearse once heading down 16th Street towards Broadway with the license plate U21DAY.

I will have to say that driving past http://www.luxurymotorcars.biz/
every day and seeing the super car just sitting there makes me drool.

There used to be a Delorian that I would see regularly parked at the Costco in Rancho. Really quite impractical in tight parking situations, you could count on seeing it parked on the outskirts of the lot. Maybe its the kid in me, but although not a “sports car”, they are pretty neato.

Apparently you haven’t been to the downtown Mikuni on a Friday or Saturday night.

Lots and lots of fancy cars.

We used to sometimes see a red Jeep Cherokee on I-80 near Auburn driving down the freeway without driver or passenger. We thought that was pretty unique.

You know what the coolest car in town is? My car. Know why? ‘Cause I’m in it.
Oh, and there’s also that guy with the Morris Minor truck who lives in Sierra Oaks. And I think he’a handyman, either that or he’s a really stylish burgular with no need for a low profile.
