Almost didn't get this in time. The opposing light was turning yellow just as I saw it so I barely had time to get my phone out of my pocket and snap this pic. Split rear window 'Vette.

I can't say I've seen one of those in person before. Gorgeous.

^Zimmer is correct. I believe they are based off of a Town Car.

Random story for the day- but my grandpa had a 1967 split window Corvette sting ray. It was silver like the one in that pic. He had it in the barn on his property and in 1970 I believe, the barn mysteriously caught on fire while he was out of town...Corvette and all. He's still bitter about it.

I would be too, quite honestly. Though the only year for the split rear window was the '63 Stingray. One of the engineers got his way and it was changed to a single-piece window for '64.

There certainly has been an influx of R8s on the road. I still drool everytime I see one.

My TL can do this, too!
Weißrot BMW Logo?
I saw one of these driving in my area. It's a BMW M3, and the BMW logo is red and white, instead of the usual blue and white.
Anyone ever seen this before? This is the only time I've ever seen the BMW logo like this.

not quite from the seat of my car... I was on my bike on a trip and taking the ferry back to the mainland when this drove in. Mint condition, original owner and is the real thing. It is a Morgan and I cannot remember the year of the car.

The blue/white roundel is a symbol from the old Bavarian flag.

That has long been debated, however I tend to buy into that theory much more than the propeller idea... I don't understand how you couldn't like Bavarians though, they are the only ones who know how to make a good beer in Germany.

Bavarian. BMW=originated in German state of Bavaria. The colors of the BMW roundel are the same colors of Bavaria's state flag. The design is supposed to be the blades of a helicopter as that's where BMW originated- helicopter engines.

Caught this in the Home Depot parking lot today. I never would have thought red with black accents could look good but man I was at this thing.
I see swirl marks!

sweet! The new GT500 is all kinds of awesome... it's faster than an R8 V10 around VIR. A few hundredths of a second slower than a Z06, and a few hundredths faster than the C6 GS.

It's probably the best American muscle car out there today and for (sometimes) a third the price of its supposedly 'better' competition. Not to mention the 2011 is the best looking 'Stang in years if you ask me.

I always get weirded out taking pics of people's cars THAT close. I worry they might see me from a distance and freak out or something

It's kinda far away in the future, but I'll be sad when fossil fuel-powered cars go away. There's just something about the smell of burnt gasoline and the ground pounding rumble of a big V8. I know whatever technology that eventually becomes the norm will be better/more efficient/friendlier to the environment but still.
The high pitch scream of a sportbike or high revving 4-cylinder like an S2000.... or like that Exige a few posts up.
The banshee wail of a Ferrari, raucous roar of a Lamborghini... etc.

New GT500 FTW.
I saw these last week:
Vette was fully restored. Not a swirl in the paint.
