Exclamation 1st Skyline sighting evar! 4 me!

HOly CRAP. I just got back from the mall. I got bored so I went there and loafed around for an hour.

I saw a Skyline! It looked mad new, or at least had a nice black paintjob. It look like an R34, but could possible have been an R33. I couldn't completely identify it because the lighting was insufficient. Of course, it was park at the end of a row of parking spaces (but if I was the owner I would have parked as far away from the other cars as possible).


At first as I was walking passed, I'm thinking wow, nice tailights. Then I thought waitaminute, it ain't an impala, nor a vette... those are skyline tails! then I saw skyline in the center of the trunk lid! my jaw dropped right there. I didn't stick around too long; I didn't want to get caught by the owner who might make accusations that I harmed his precious, and get beat up. I quickly tried to look for stickers that said what company imported or did the work on it. Nothing though; and it's riceless.

I never expected to see one here in the Mid-atlantic USA. Sheeit. The only time I didn't carry my digicam with me, something rare as hell is right there. Fudge.


So far my list of dream cars to see in person:

MacLaren
Murcialago (sp?)
Enzo
Shelby
NSX *check*
Skyline *check*

Goddamn I wish I brought my digicam all. dammit.

Sweet, i saw a Skyline on the 405 outside of LA once. Did you notice of the Skyline was right hard drive or left hand drive? I always wondered about that when people import them.

Almost all Skylines are RHD since they're only sold in Japan. Motorex (who imports them to the US) has converted a handful to LHD, but for the most part, if you're lucky enough to get a Skyline, you better bring someone else along to pick up your drive thru order.

One Question....Why would anyone leave a Skyline at the Mall>?? If I owned that car I wouldnt park it for too long anywhere that I didnt know how it was doing....

I have seen plenty of Ferraris and lambos in my area....and I have also driven a countach and a few ferraris in my life...thanks to valet parking and working at a porsche dealer...

the tints were too dark, aside from the lighting being dark anyways.
It must have been 20% all around even the the legality in NJ is NO tints on the front windshield and front side windows.

Nearest lampost must have been 15 yards away. Still, it was a shining beauty. I didn't catch the license plate, but I'm sure it must have been from Cali. It must be here for the huge Import car show going on in the Meadowlands (outside Giants Stadium), soon.


BTW, I would have added a whole lot more cars that I like, to my list, but they're much more common than the ones I listed above. For every 50 Civics in my area, there's usually an rx7 to be seen. And there's plenty of 80s domestics that don't mind showing off what they got, in my neighborhood too. You don't really see any true beauties like a Lambo or any car over $80g, let alone a sold-in-japan-only Skyline

I saw a couple Murcielagos, bunch of Ferraris, and a couple of days ago I saw one of those new Bentleys. I'm positive it was brand new because it had European Exotic Cars in place of a licence plate. I would really like to see a Countach.

i was at that car show, there was a white r-33 there. what color was the car you saw? what mall was it at also? i have like 4 malls in my area, if its in the north, ill look for it.

BTW, if you were walking, how do you not catch the license plates??

it was at Willowbrook Mall in Wayne. It was in the lot near the Sears Auto Center which is seperate from the Mall itself. Lol I keep repeating it was dark. You'd see like 1 lampost for every 30 cubic yards (DARK). And it was Black, I'm sure of that.
