Found an old (2012? 2013?) SD card with a ton of car pictures, so figured I'd upload them. Hopefully this doesn't completely bork Kinja. If it does....you know who to blame...here goes. Please note all of these were taken on an LG Lotus flip phone, so don't expect much....quality.

Dat parking.....their parking skills reflect their skills in choosing wheels.

George Barris pulled up in his Batmobile Limo

Then Jay Leno pulled up in his Stanley Steemer

Nogaro Blue S4 Avant

Z3 non-M coupe

Ew.....

Turbo S!

Manual Land Cruiser with a Recaro baby seat in the back

CL600!

Dirty Supra in Beverly Hills

Okay, the sidewalk is a good place to park too...

A year or so after it came out....

Rolled FRS

What used to be the FRS' roof

Ex-SEMA Chevelle

Owner of this owns the white Porsche above and black Continental below

HOLY RARE!

Testing Macans on their way to Malibu

Fleet of Rovers and a Continental

This was a of the flying cattle wranglers, like the guys they had on Top Gear

Saabaru WRX

Terrible photo of me in an SLS. He let me start it and rev it. Such a cool owner.

It sat there for 5 years...

Super clean F350 single cab, long bed diesel with Banks turbo bits.

Dem miles....

323,501

Nicest Unimog I've ever seen.

THE BEST SPOT HERE, HANDS DOWN

450SEL 6.9 in the back of the dealer with....

An automatic Miata, which I tried to buy.

Funny thing about this is I took this picture before I even knew anything about Skylines, and I'm actually friends with the owner now.

Once again, took this before I even had or knew about Zs, and the owner is a member of our Fairlady club!

Jay Leno showed up in his Miura.

Went to go look at this too, but too much was wrong with it. Early 540i.

License plate comes back as a 1985, which means this has the updated B34 version of the BMW M30 engine.

Plate comes back as a 2003, so first model year of this generation, so it's possible that it's been like this for a while...

Brb moving to LA. So. Many. Cool. Cars.

Another first model year of a new generation, this time a 2004 RX330 with a perfect emissions test record. Wouldn't be surprised if this thing's really clean inside.

This one's a 1993.

1985 that's got an incredibly clean emissions record. This must be a really well taken care of machine.

After searching every possible last digit, the last digit is a 3, and it's a 2006 550i.

G Wagon/ V50 guy is me in 10 years... Although I'd add a V70R, V60 Polestar, E63AMG Wagon, Defender, and Hummer H1 in addition to the G Wagon... Only 1 V70R spotted in a year... I now see once a almost (and that's not counting the one in my driveway)

I don't think that's the same one, but right after Fisker went under there was one parked on Ventura with multiple for sale signs. I always wanted to stop to take a picture, but I couldn't be late to work.

Also, I had no idea that was Leno's Miura. I remember taking pictures of it though.

1995. Had 3 failed emissions tests and one aborted one in 2003-04, but has passed every test since.

That was the same one! Ventura and Tujunga, I believe.

And Leno is in the blue shirt in the last Miura photo

Finally, a 2003 Camry that failed an emissions test in February '13, but otherwise has a clean record.

Yep, I learned about it over on IMCDb a while back.

I see that Unimog and raise you a Six Wheel Drive Pinzgauer ex-ambulance.

Yeah, that's where it was. I guess I didn't remember the sign being that big!

Does Leno even own any other color shirt? I'm somehow never there when he arrives or leaves, so most times I see him I have to guess what car he drove because it could be literally anything.

No. This stripe or the other decals. You can't have both.
