Post Camouflaged Car

I saw this car tooling down the freeway on my way home from work. I had my camera in my briefcase so I decided to get some shots of it.

Boy, was that driver pi$$ed ! He dodged and weaved through traffic to keep me from taking the pix, but then he thought he'd try to blow by me and I got the best shots as he went by.


Anyone have an idea what this is ? It had Mich. plates.

Looks like a Rustang to me. God I hope it's not a P-car!

I think it's a really well camouflaged Volvo Wagon.

It looks a little like the new 928 or maybe even a 996 but it don't have that oriental flare to be a 996 one quick question is a 996 a rice burner?

The front looks a lot like a 300Z, the hubs give it away. The back looks like it should go Back to Mich.!!

The roof line and the seam on the door screams "Mustang".

Saturn? Mustang? Toyota Solara? From the looks of it, they would be better off if they kept it camoflauged!

Tom,
How were you able to take these photos while you were driving?

Dial, It's easy once you prop the beer can up on the dash and put the burrito in the console.

Ya` gotta` love these digital cameras. They take great shots even when your just pointing it in the general direction of your subject - even when they're trying to get away.

By the way - I saw a picture on another list of the same car and everyone seemed to think it was a Hyundai(sp) Tiburon

I thought it was a Mustang because of the "vents" on the sides, but the rear is definitely rice.

I could be wrong but I thought I remember reading somewhere that Ford is discontinuing the pony car in the next year or so. Given that logic, it being a Mustang doesn't make much sense. Although, their fairly easily changed, the side mirrors don't look like something from Ford either.

I don't have a clue as to what it is!!!
