I love looking at those old brochures.  It amazes me how many models they made.  Today, Chevy makes one "car".  

That is true, but it’s one heckofa ride:

Good point, actually, three cars.  Malibu, Camaro and Corvette.

The Camaro and Corvette show up under "Performance" on their website, only the Malibu shows up on "Cars".

Is it kosher if they're spotted on YouTube?

Well now- I am not sure the target market for that Lambo but for those with more money than sense I am sure it will sell. 

Next it will get rigged with a tow bar and front winch as options.

Sir, I am the target audience (minus the actual resources to buy).  That is glorious.  Will go great with a matching Rally Porsche!!

First real nice weekend this year. 70 degree's and sunny. Only picture I've been able to get is the Mustang above. I missed the McLaren 720s, (2) McLaren 570's, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Aventador (Yesterday), Ferrari California, and a bunch of older muscle cars. Nice to see people enjoying the weather.

@WeberWho - You are taking a page from @GrateEggspectations regarding the neighbourhood (nod) you experience.  That's a he!! of a sighting collection right there. 

I'm enjoying similar weather but nothing close to the rides. I'll go on a seek and find tomorrow as the weather is supposed (key word) to be even nicer than today.  Maybe I can find me a vegan leather ride .

Saw some cool rides in Montreal, including an iridescent purple Lambo. Was too fast to discern model, and given I was driving, I could not get pics. 

Consolation pic is this G-wagon spotted on a walk.

It's a pretty rare sighting to see those type of vehicles around here. I was all over the Twin Cities this morning. So I covered a bunch of miles and people took advantage of the nice weather. I'm lucky to see 3-4 of those a year. My first time seeing an Aventador. That was pretty cool.

That is definitely well played @Ozzie_Isaac.  Congrats!

Joe Walsh right there-

Nice catch.

I did see a sweet ride while out earlier today but no pic so it doesn't count.

^^^ Wasn't a "catch", just something I saw on EweTube that made me smile.

My Dad had a 49 MGtc. Such great memories of my Dad and the car.

The vehicle is not exotic but the license plate made me laugh. Not sure who would or why anyone would want this one.

Cougar on the prowl!

Judging by the (symmetrical) dents in the tailgate, the owner already received a good spanking.

Love SLABs.  Perhaps the best thing to come out of Houston.

I've been following some of the recent reviews VW's new electric bus, and am quite sad.  The thing is a pig, weight-wise (over 5,000 lbs) and for some reviewers, only has a range of about 150-170 miles.  
I don't know what the weight of my beloved '77 was, but it was light enough that, when the battery died, I was able to push-start it by myself (mostly-empty parking lot, I pushed it against the driver's-side door frame up to a fast trot (or mebbe running out of parking lot), hopped into the seat, and popped the clutch.  Buh. Buh. Puh-puh. Puh-puh-brrpt-idle!)  This technique did not work on my 2nd Saab, even though I had help pushing it (damn electronics).

Dayam I want one of these!   

This would be so much fun to take to any motorcycle rally, car show, or even Sturgis!  The Brembos, the CF straight exhaust, even the MotoGP-style windscreen (Dixie-cup sized!)
