Ok, it's a total POS, but you never see these things on the road. The guy that ones this one actually owns two! The other one is purple. He loves them so much, that he's in a club...

Well well well... what do we suppose this thing is? Just spotted it on the freeway and caught up to it at the stoplight after exiting. No badges (but there's an empty round recess for one on the back), temporary "Dealer" plate (which are also issued to manufacturers for test vehicles), obviously electric (no sound, no exhaust), typical anti industrial espionage "camouflage", etc

Looks a lot like a Fisker Karma, but I see those all the time and this ain't one of them. Check out the MASSIVE rear brake rotor with a multi-piston Brembo caliper stuffed behind a huge wheel with exceptionally fat rear tires. What ever this thing is, it must haul serious balls to need brakes and tires like that.

Damn, looking at both, they're nearly identical, tail lights are definitely the same. It HAS to be a Fisker, but something about it is just different from the Karma... don't you think?
They're damn close, if not the same.
I'm having a hard time seeing much difference other than the wheels.

Fuel door.
Tail lights
Body line 'notch' across the tail.
The diamond reverse lights.
The C pillar.
The body line over the back window.
The side mirror.

It all matches.
 
I wish I would've gotten a pic of them, but the car owners were getting in and pulling away as I pulled into my local Meijers superstore.

Looking them up on wiki, it was a '66 Shelby GT350 and a recent Shelby GT500 (I couldn't tell the year on the latter). If I had to guess, I'd say a 2013-14 on the GT500.

When I was working on my Tig 2.0 prototype, I had to disguise my awesome bod:

:lol:
 
I saw a couple of Ford Focus prototypes on highway M-60 here in Michigan, back in 2011? I think. It was before the current generation was released to the public, anyways. If I remember rightly there were four of them that passed me.

The funny thing about them is they had white & black cow markings on them instead of all those zig-zaggy white & black lines.
 
Well, I'm on a roll.

Yesterday I see a 1966 Shelby GT350 and a 2013-2014 Shelby GT500 together. Today I see a 2017 Tesla Model X at the ice cream parlour just south of Battle Creek (the one I've posted about where the owner is in the celtic band, and they have a lot of old car shows there).

Figures I left the house with my camera plugged into the wall socket re-charging thwap0 And yesterday I couldn't get pics of the Shelbys as they were about to pull out of the parking lot at Meijers as I was pulling in.
 
i was coming back to the office just now, from lunch, and one of these went by in the other direction. and it was perfect.
1968 COPO 427 Camaro. (one just like this) :eek::eek::eek:
