Counting Common Cars

I noticed today that I saw a whole lot of Chev Malibus. So I figured I'd hold a lil game on here...each day, I, or someone, can assign one common car that we'll count how many we see in the day, and post your final figure :D

For Wednesday, for the North Americans, count how many Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera's you see.

For the elsewhereans, one of you can assign a car that you guys have to count :)

Fine then elsewhereans...I'll pick for you :p

Next time you wake up, start counting how many Fiat Mareas you see :)

my dad used to own one of those...POS it was. :D

me, i saw alot of VW Golf's today, but i'll do my best at keeping track of Ciera's tomorrow.:bloated:

I kept seeing Celicas and Subarus today :bloated:

It is weird how when someone you know or you get a vehicle you start to notice them all over the place.


But as for the Cutlass A bodys I seen today in my 60 mile commute there were 3 white ones and 2 blue ones.


There were about 20 friggin H2's:rolleyes:

I used to go weeks without seeing another G20...but today I saw 2 and yesterday 5!! It was creepy!

23 Mareas on the way to work :cool:

Well, I don't see any of those cars, but I see a shit load of Series 1 RX-7's, Celicas, R32's and so many Holden Monaros, and holden Commodores. I should really bring my Digital camera out with me one day... :rolleyes:

OOOoooohh......damn FIAT Marea.................Errr......a Weekend went past school today and there was another Weekend in Remuera.......Thats it though- they never sold too well over here :(



So thats 2 FIAT Mareas :D

I saw a stupid and very ugly H2 yesterday.
Theres a company around here that does RHD conversions, and they have one to test and see if its Viable. I certianly hope not, theres enough Japanese SUV crap on the roads with out adding useless American SUV's to it.

in England you cant go a hundred yards without seeing a ford of some kind and it really pi==es me off:( ive counted 17 in the first 1/4 hour of my lunchtime!!

So far today I've seen a grand total of 0 Cieras...but it's only 10:30AM :)

I think I'll go count porsches, vipers, z's and whatever else "rare" I can find, bet I will get a higher number

I saw 3 Cutlass's out and about this morning.;)

I can go out in the parking lot and count 3 Ciera's.....they seem to breed in rural PA or summin.....guess that's what you expect when you work 'in the sticks'

Haibane, why don't you go and see how many wheels go over you when an 18-wheeler runs over you?
Or you could just play in the rush-hour traffic :rolleyes:

The H2 is not useless, I have heard it makes a perfectly good ship anchor if attached to the chain right.

Anyone got a decent pic of the rear? I recognize most cars by the taillights...

Good idea.

BTW, is that not the cleanest Tempo you've ever seen?! It's for sale on eBay with only 25000 miles, the interior and engine bay are like showroom clean, it's amazing! *Almost* makes me want it. Almost.

well, Markus, when you start talking about how cool it would be to walk around in a Tempo shirt...you don't have to actually SAY "badly" for it to be implied...;)

I never said that either! I said it would be embarrasing walking around in a Tempo shirt!

Yeah 2nd gen CRX's. :) Cause then I can play too. Because we actually GET those. :) And I'm guaranteed to see at least 2. Cause Im having mine lowered then driving to Megan's to show her and she owns one. And There are a few more about.

Just for our international posters- I'll issue you with Peugeot 307's for Thursday :cool:

ok, I got 2 tempos. One was blue and the other was a freakin bright green spray paintjob(gotta love the cuban ghettos).

So far I've seen 4. I'm thinking that I drive to often or that I'm just around a lot of crappy cars. I dont know. Either way I got a question but I'll make another thread for that.

What's today's car?

That's why I said it was the car for Thursday. I don't wake up until a lot of people are long done their commute to work, so not having a car yet assigned at that point would be unfair to those members.

So far I've seen 4 Tempos. A couple red sedans, a blue coupe, and a multicolor sedan :lol2:

Civic's prolly saw 15 just on base this A.M.

Zero Tempos today, and I'll probably be in the office until the end of this one...

But I'll own you guys on the 2g CRXs!! :evillaugh:

I'm up to 5 Tempos, and probly won't be going out again...

I have 1 2nd gen CRX already, lol, I cheated, I OWN one. :p

It is CRX's for tomorrow, right? we call 'day' in like an hour and a half?

i only went out once today, early in the morning to get my wisdom teeth pulled, and haven't gone out again, so i wasn't really paying attention looking for Tempo's since i was kind of nervous. and i was still high on the drugs they gave me on the way home, so i didn't see any today.:(

okay! I'm counting 2g CRX's starting right..........................

Today I think I saw 6 or 7....The things you learn when you drive, like the causes of accidents, wrecks and why the hell the stearing wheel is shaking. Thanks ry. Even though i feel like a sterotypical blonde right now, I appreciate the help! What did everyone else get?
