I only managed to get "pictures" of about half the cool cars one my trip. A restored Hudson Hornet, a Ferrari 458, a Dodge Viper, a McLaren 12C, several old Defenders and 911s, a couple GTRs, an Audi S7, an R129 SL600, a G63 AMG, an 80's Supra and a BMW M635CSI are just some of the cars that flashed by before I could grab for my camera.

The word pictures is in quotes because most of these are fairly shitty pictures. They are shitty because, a) my phone's camera is so-so, and b) most of them were taken in some combination of the following conditions; bad light, no light, from a distance, from a bad angle, through glass, with an obstruction, with the target moving, with ME moving, with the camera zoomed, and, for ones I was not prepared for at all and only had a short capture window, with me not actually looking through the viewfinder. Also, some of these cars you may not find interesting, like the Sprint, which is only there for being the only rust-free Sprint in the world. They are, however, labeled for your convenience. With that long disclaimer out of the way, enjoy!

BMW 2002

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8

BMW Z4, which is noteworthy b/c the vanity plate said "Z4". !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I also ended up behind a Mazda6 which somehow got the plate "IPMS247" No SR20, but yeah...

1st gen Suzuki Cultus Chevy Sprint

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 off-road tour truck

Well-lit truck is well-lit.

Subaru Brat

Nissan Maxima wagon (in Jalopnik brown)

Jaaaa....wait just a fuckin' second.

Mercedes W115

Audi S4

It was on a 30 y/o tour bus, so I guess it's true.

Fiat 124 1600 Coupe

Mercedes 450SLC

Datsun 280Z 2+2

Mercedes SLS AMG

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Volvo P1800

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (the good-looking one)

Range Rover Sport Supercharged-I particularly liked this one, but every LR/RR from 1975-2015 is abundant in Denver. I missed getting pictures of a couple old ones.

Blacked-out Tesla Model S- Also abundant

Mercedes SL65 AMG (yeah, V12 Biturbo!)

Porsche 911 Turbo

BMW E28 535i

70's Toyota Camper

Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

Pontiac Trans Am Mini Cooper

BMW M5

Corvette Stingray- God those lights/pipes are cool

Alright, so I cheated for these last few. They are not spotted in the wild, they were taken at Bentley/Ferrari/Maserati of Denver, who I would like to thank for letting me nose around their back lot without calling the cops or throwing me out. They had a Ferrari 599 Final Edition inside, but alas, no SR20, because reflective glass.

Lotus Evora

Mercedes SLS AMG

Mercedes CL63 AMG

Aston MArtin DBS (& DB9 Volante)

Mercedes SL55 AMG and a selection of Maseratis

Alfa Romeo 164

Bentley Flying Spur

Rolls-Royce Ghost

Bentley Continental GT SuperSports

Hummer H1 Alpha

Ferrari California (it's red)

Gold trim everywhere, gold/white walls, maroon vinyl top, wind deflectors, and a gold hood ornament. The couple driving had already begun to decay, but judging by the speed they were going, they were probably young newlyweds when they set off.

Also, on the drive back. We saw 10 or so Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra HD pickups, all red or black 2015s, and all wearing camo from the A-pillars forward. A few of them were towing trailers with weights on them. New power train development?

Awesome spottings! Everything that you took there was more interesting and unique that what I've seen in about a month lol. How much time did you spend out there?

Four, plus one day of driving each way.

Noice, Why didn't you guys take the A8?

Because of somewhat poor reviews on the new Silverado, there is a rumored early refresh like the Malibu. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it is an upgrade to the Duramax, since it is kind of lagging in Torque compared to the Ram and Ford competitors. On another note, that Maxima could very well be a manual and a diesel.

Parents are divorced, A8 is titled to my dad, trip was with my mom.

A diesel...I figured it could be a manual, but...

Wow. If it were diesel, that would check every box. This could be a brown, RWD, manual, diesel wagon. A guy can hope, right?

Gotcha, you got to get that thing on a chauffeured road trip soon!

Why chauffeured when I could be driving? Also, unless you are volunteering to do it for free, I cannot afford said chauffeur (gasp!)

That generation either came with and L24 of 240Z fame or an LD28 diesel 6 that also found itself in turbo form in International Scouts.

Powertrain updates on the 2500/3500 Silverados would make sense. The last time they were updated was ~2011. Everything underneath was changed, but the body stayed the same. This time around, the opposite.

So not even a totally horrible diesel?

That's what someone else said. Looks like I found a GM pickup power train test fleet.

I don't think so. It wouldn't have been a powerhouse in N/A form, but it should be reliable since the Patrol of that era got it.

I'm not too sure why Camo was required though, unless they had to rework the fenders to fit a fucking huge motor.

If you can't see in the pics, the hood bulges on all of them were friggin enormous. That's the black above the white fenders.

Here's hoping the diesel breaks 7 liters.

And that they make the 6.2 standard on the HDs instead of the old 6.0 Vortec.

Did the SL600 say sport on the front fenders, and have monoblock AMG wheels?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > JGrabowMSt 07/16/2014 at 00:09

Can't remember for sure about the "sport" badge, but I think it had the monoblock AMG wheels, and it was silver.

Sorry, it was headed opposite me on the interstate. It was kind of a sparkling metallic green (this could be it):
