The parking lot of any home improvement store is going to be full of pickups ( unless Dyer's around), and the deserts swarm with four-wheelers of all makes and ages. Exotics lurk along coastlines and high-end shopping districts, 911s and M3s haunt the hills. This might be obvious, but if you want to see cool cars, go where cool cars go. Get good enough and you can ID cars under car covers just by the flick of a rear spoiler and a peek of wheel chrome. The very small and the very long hold promises of MGs, Minis, Caddys, and Chryslers. If it’s not an old truck, it’s a G-wagen, so that’s a win either way. Decades of pickup trucks had the same square profile, and just the right-angle of a fender to a grille will cause a head swivel from a practiced car spotter. From E-Types to C8s, they jab out of driveways and parking spots like lawn darts, sharp and dangerous. There’s something about the form of an older or unusual vehicle that sets it apart from the bubble of a commuter SUV. Nobody buys a Hellcat or a Huracán as a sleeper.
If you do turn your head for a flashy cherry red or sunny yellow on a modern car, there’s a good chance it will be an exotic or high-performance machine too. Keep an eye out for a hot pop of orange or a splash of turquoise and you’re likely to be rewarded.
Or at least, classics tend to be restored in bright colors. Dream in ColorĬars have always come in black, white, and silver, but unless you’re talking Mercedes Gullwings, classics look better in bright colors. Sure, we’re all going 7 mph, but think of it as more time to look at that clean VW Vanagon. (Move over, I’ve driven that car, it’s faster than yours.) Car spotting on the freeway can also make traffic jams a little more bearable.

Paying a little more attention while on the highway is never a bad idea, and it can have the added benefit of noticing that killer C3 Vette heading north in the fast lane or the AMG GT Black Series coming up fast behind you. or you could use some of the other tips in this list. If you’re on the hunt for electric cars, I guess you listen for the whirr. Sure, that rumble might end up being just a 10-year-old Challenger with Flowmasters, but it could also be a 50-year-old Challenger with Flowmasters. Loud pipes save lives and give advanced warning of an interesting vehicle approaching. Then, if you want, you can take a photo of it and post it on Instagram so everyone else buried in their phones can see what you saw in the real world. The 10 minutes outside the coffeeshop before your buddy shows up or the walk through the parking garage to the stairs are prime scenarios for catching something cool, if you keep your head up. This is especially true because many of the best car-spotting opportunities are when we’re waiting on something else, which is exactly the most tempting time to escape the misery of reality by immersing yourself in the misery of Twitter. Sorry to sound like your parents, but the cars are out there and if you’re nose deep in your online Miata chatroom, you’re gonna miss the real-life Miata driving by. If you want to be a top-shelf car spotter, you need practice and a few rules to follow. Those of us into cars tend to have a natural talent for car spotting, a kind of sixth sense that something excellent is in the vicinity, but raw talent can be improved by experience and discipline. I don’t always say Saab sometimes it’s an MG or a 720S or just a really clean little Dodge Dart. I feel a sense of failure if I’m not the first person in a group to say "Oh! Saab!" when an unusual car rolls by brunch. Sometimes I can get away with the quick head turn at a blast of exhaust, but the urge to take an extra lap around the block based on a corner of color barely visible through an open garage door requires explanation and a patient passenger. I’ve had to apologize more than once for the awkward pauses in conversation while I was distracted by a glimpse of bright chrome. For many of us, it’s almost an addiction. Launch Time at Frank Hawley Drag Racing SchoolĬar hunting, or car spotting- #carspotting, if you live on the internet-is something you already do, or you wouldn’t be on this website.
