Ever see something different in the parking lot that captivates your attention and merits pulling out your phone for a quick pic?

Post it up!

Note: "Interesting" isn't necessarily good

The Good:

That's what made me want to take that picture - it was very appropriate!

Mosler Twinstar. Only 3 were built by Mosler Automotive, before I worked for them, and they feature a Northstar v8 in front, and rear, making it a twin engine all-wheel drive Eldorado. I had the fun of taking to Daytona for a car show, and some pace laps at the track, prior to the Paul Revere 250 in 2003.

Saw these on my street awhile back - my guess is they were filming something, but I didn't see any crew so I couldn't ask what it was.

This was before mobile or cell phones, and I don't know exactly what car it is, but I remember seeing a car very similar to this as a young kid for one brief moment while going to with my mom on some errands:

^ Could it have been a Bradley GT?
A buddy of mine has one.
Those are so weird...

A friend of mine has/had a Bradley GT II. Exotic looking, but sounded and ran like the VW that it was.

For all the suggestions of alternates, no.... the characteristic is has is the way the doors and body form an extreme wedge shape, both in cross sectional area and longitudinal profile. Boxed in area below must similarly be featured on it:

It kinda was a like a cross between the above Stratos prototype and the Ferrari Pininfarina 512 Modulo prototype (for overall longitudinal shape)...

I'll probably never know what it was that I saw... If we only had digital cameras, the internet, and Google back then....LOL

I won't lie - I can imagine worse things to drive if I needed a minivan in my life...
This looks pretty cool
