Car Spotting in OKC

[BBatesokc]

Also commonly known as a compensator.

Only by those who wish their's measured up. (speaking of their 'vehicle' of course)

Sign me up for that 'compensator' any day -- would be a great weekend ride. (that's what she said)

It looked to be a blue-gray convertible. Top down and had 2 ladies in it.

nice!

If you can get that ride up to Street Legality, maybe you could apply for a Street Outlaws club patch.
That, or a lifetime pass to a local go-kart track . . . =)

It is street legal. Just needs an Oklahoma tag.

1953 Mercury Monterey @ OKC Auto Show 2013

A bit too Stoic on the inside, yet appropriately garish and Epicurean on the exterior. I love it.
"It" being the perfect balance of function and form for the highways of my infanthood. Thanks for posting. =)

Sorry . . . There's a Jim Inhoff TV ad running in the background (sponsoring Jeapordy) and I felt compelled to say something . . . =)

Good Luck.

The car in the last picture is one of those that Jay Leno used to refer to when, as part of his stand-up routine, he would say . . . "After a wreck, you could just take it to the carwash, hose out the interior (note the lack of "seat belts"), scrape the Hundais and Kias from under the wheel wells and resell it.

[Plutonic Panda]

Good Luck.

well, if I had luck, you'd give me $50,000 to buy that puppy

[RadicalModerate]

Anyone who would buy that puppy for 50K needs to be following up on the Free Kittens ads.
Wait a second . . . are you referring to the Mercury or the Go-Kart?
Don't matter. The same principle applies. =)

Edited to Add (as in, adding stuff to what is currently cooking on the stove, in hope of "bridging generations' while awaiting the opportunity to pick up my sweet wife after work) =):



Sorry, PluPan . . . you may be too young to appreciate the humor.

PluPan,
I googled the Merc and it appears that you are correct, it is a 1953 or 54 model. I could even be a 55 but I don't think so. I need multiple monitors to properly compare it. You might google 195? Mercedes Cabriolet starting with 1950, select the images option on your search results and see what you think. By the way, I always think I drive a "Merc", but my London friend infoms me that Mercedes had that nickname long before Mercury (which is what I own) did.

I'm not entirely sure what this is, the people at the Mercedes dealership couldn't even tell me. I'm wanting to say it might be an early 50's w189 300s Cabriolet or something like that, but I'm not sure. She's a beauty though!

This is a Lexus that was at the Auto Show in 2013. I forget the model name.

[Plutonic Panda]

LFA. Cool car!

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

The dealer keeps bringing one to C&C.

[Chadanth]

One sexy ass Porche driven by an even sexier cougar. Not sure if I've mentioned I'm into Cougars or not

Dude,you're right. So sexy.

Ref. Pic at #43: The dude has a huge belt buckle, too . . . =)
There are funny cars . . . and then there are funny trucks . . .
I would say "Monster Trucks" but that would be slightly inaccurate.

I hope that the vandal who desecrated the hood on that car is swiftly brought to justice.
(or is that a temporary tattoo for the car show?) =)

I saw that on a trailer, pulled by a tractor, going west on the Kilpatrick.
I thought I was hallucinating. Maybe I still am. =)

I agree with you. I don't like decals much any ways, but this one is absolutely awful.

To add insult to injury, I think that's a tanning salon.
