It’s carspotting season, and the beautiful weather on the East Coast only made matters better. That’s what inspired us yesterday to ask you what were the coolest cars you saw this weekend.

My, oh my did you guys see some cool stuff. Most of you even followed directions and added a photo or two to your answers. That was much appreciated. This is a visual medium, after all.

We’ve got everything from Radwood-era M3s to drift cars and school buses. What you guys saw was nothing short of excellent. With that being said, let us take a look at what our fellow Jalops saw over the weekend.

If old big rigs can be accepted, I saw a crap ton of them at the local Brockway truck show last Saturday. Home built in Homer/Cortland NY, and people from literally all over come to participate and have fun. There’s been trucks from Alaska to come in, for example

There was one old rig from the 30's that was converted to a tractor for farm use that still runs and there was an original school bus from the 40's there too lol

Elsewise, a C8 Corvette was a highlight.

There was also a C6 with a spoiler about as high as your local stoner, but like no other modifications that I saw while driving. Definitely confused about that one.

Unfortunately, I can only post one picture per submission. That being said, everything you posted was sweeeet. I don’t know why, but the old bus speaks to me.

Saw this little dude at a ocean-front hotel we were staying on the east coast of Vancouver Island. In keeping with the vibe of the place, funky, unusual, interesting, and.... I’m not sure what exactly it’s for. But very cool. Also: great color.

Woah. This is like one of four good Smarts in existence. It’s not nearly as embarrassing to drive either. Good for the owner! I had no idea the Canadians had this much taste.

A Lancia Delta HF Integrale!

A guy down the street is a JDM car importer, so he always has a bunch of RHD Supras and Chasers and Kei trucks outside his place. It’s cool, but I’m not really a JDM guy. But this weekend, he had a Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Bright red. He let me sit in it and everything.

Woah! The old Hyundai Ioniq5 looks really really good.

Drifto!

I saw a bunch of cool cars but I didn’t take many photos. I was invited to a friend of a friends place for a get together. His place is also the shop for his drift team. So there was a bunch of cool stuff lying around. Today he invited me to their practice so I got to ride in the 600+ HP BMW M3 with a supercharged Toyota 2JZ. The team leaders car is a newer M3 with 1000+ HP. I don’t think I am ready for that kind of violence, as it was my first time in a drift car.

Goddamn. Sounds like you had quite the weekend, my friend. I may be a bit jealous. Would I have gotten car sick? Maybe, but who cares?

Actual coolest was a Jag XK120/140 out at like 7am as I was going to get breakfast, but didn’t get my camera out in time for that, but a Dino 308 GT4 and a Smart Roadster are pretty good too.

I can’t tell if I like the Smart Roadster or not. I think I need to do some soul searching. However, seeing one in person was probably a treat!

I saw this sweet Citroen this weekend from our condo balcony in downtown Minneapolis.

Oui oui. Je suis français maintenant. Voulez-vous une cigarette? Que diriez-vous d’une miche de pain? Ne le volez pas. Ils vous jetteront en prison et écriront une comédie musicale à ce sujet.

Our little podunk town of around 4,000 people managed to draw in 360+ vehicles for the annual car show this past weekend. I only caught the end of it as most cars were leaving, but my friend and co-worker spotted this Bugatti race car. Said it was found locally sitting in the weeds before being restored. I’m not 100% sure it’s the real deal, but it’s still neat.

Uh yeah, not too sure that’s a Bugatti. Still neat though!

Used to love walking around the east village, west village, and Brooklyn on nice days as there was always something cool to see.

Moved to the ‘burbs at the end of last year. Found this at the local Stop and Shop

Well shit, that’s nicer than anything I saw in the city this weekend. That rocks, dude. God, what a pretty car this era of SL was. I want one, but alas I am poor.

Friends know that I have recently started looking for an old convertible, and that I have an irrational love of old Thunderbirds. So when someone told me he spotted a potential ‘66 T-bird convertible behind a muffler shop, I had to take a look.

Unfortunately it was a hardtop. I replaced the tarp after taking the photo.

Tell your friend to make the right choice and get a ‘60s or ‘70s Eldorado or DeVille. Those is the only full size convertibles that matter.

Finally made it to Cars & Coffee Central Florida. Technically last weekend but:

Jensen Interceptor III

The Interceptor is so pretty I’m gonna let it slide that it wasn’t actually from this weekend. This car speaks to me in ways that few others do. I desperately want one.

Sidecar Supremacy

Not a car, but a buddy wanted me to look over a couple issues with his 65 Ural.

Brings it all the way across town for a carburetor issue, turns out his motor’s seized. It’s flatbedding to a Pro this week...

Otherwise, I might spend some time on Highway 1 this week... I’d expect at least a few people driving the Scenic route to/from Monterey for the upcoming events.

Why aren’t motorcycles with sidecars more of a thing? I feel like they should definitely be a thing. I don’t really know why, because there’s no rational reasoning. It’s just a gut feeling, you know?
