Garage Queens: Porsche 911 GT3 RS – West 14th Street, NYC

June 30th, 2011 by Aaron

This 2010 911 GT3 RS (RennSport) might be restrained by acres of concrete and metal railings, but it still manages to look blindingly fast while standing still inside of this West 14th street parking garage. The Carerra-based racer is essentially a street legal race car. Seriously, it’s a homologation version of the GT3 RSR racing car used for competition events like Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Hopefully the owner escapes from the concrete jungle once and a while to let this baby stretch out her lightweight flywheel (yes, I’m talking dirty with automotive jargon).

Mercury Cyclone – North Hayworth Ave, Los Angeles

June 14th, 2011 by Aaron

It’s a damn shame that Mercury went from manufacturing bad ass street machines like this to badge engineered Ford clones like this and this.

RIP Mercury. Utterly clean Cyclones like this, and the enthusiasts who maintain them, will keep the Mercury memory alive well into the future.

Corvette Convertible – Hudson & Jane Street, NYC

May 11th, 2011 by Aaron

It’s a pity not all the C3 Corvettes clunking around nowadays look this good. We love the color combo, bars behind the headrests, racing gas cap and louver detail throughout. We have definitely seen some nice ones before, but nothing as striking as this one. No matter how nice an example though, I can’t help but think of Mark Wahlberg’s well endowed character in Boogie Nights every time I lay my eyes on one of these.

Robocob’s Segway – Union Square, NYC

May 4th, 2011 by Aaron

We’re all for creative solutions to mounting urban mobility challenges, but the mental image of cops chasing bad guys on one of these things doesn’t inspire much confidence in the future of NYC law enforcement. Can’t they at least mount machine guns to the sides or something?

Nissan GT-R – 7th Ave & 13th Street, NYC

April 10th, 2011 by Aaron

The Nissan GT-R, amongst other high-po sports cars in its price and performance range, is a relatively low key vehicle. Throw a super loud paint job like this into the mix and you can no longer fly under anyone’s radar. Hell, you can see this hue from space. Godzilla, as it’s lovingly known by enthusiasts, looks a lot better in Orange than I ever could have ever imagined though. Very exotic. Very slick. Very fast.

It’s hard to tell from this vantage point, but the hood is actually a carbon fiber affair. This thing is shoe in for Fast Five

Garage Queens: Mercedes SLS AMG – Jane Street, NYC

April 5th, 2011 by Aaron

Spotted this AMG road warrior chilling among the everyday luxury cars inside this Jane Street parking garage. We can’t decide if we like the menacing black metallic hue seen here or one of the matte options available for a hefty additional charge. Either way, the car is seriously bad ass. Hopefully the high-fluting owner gets this baby out on the open road once and a while.

Chevy Bel Air – Horatio Street, NYC

March 23rd, 2011 by Aaron

We’ve spotted a whole mess of Bel Airs over the years here at Man on the Move. These street finds tend to be of second generation models that resemble the iconic ‘57 Chevy sillouette that has become so engrained into American pop culture throughout the last century. But let’s not forget the stunning first generation models that came out of Detroit between ’50 – ’54. This handsome, well maintained Navy Blue Bel Air sedan is a ’53 and looks quite dashing, striking a stately pose on Horatio Street.

Roadside Treasures Overload: Summer 2010 Closer – The Hamptons

September 9th, 2010 by Aaron

Sadly for beach goers, fall’s cool breeze is beginning to show itself more and more as Summer draws to a close. But the temperature, however crisp, is still prime for many a classic car jaunt in South, East, West and any other Hampton you can think of.  I caught a big batch of these Hampton cruisers over the last few weeks to close out the summer in style.

Enjoy!

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible – West 23rd Street, NYC

July 29th, 2010 by Aaron

I found this 540 HP snake charmer tucked away in front of a Chelsea office building one sunny afternoon. The black and red hot rod almost looked guilty, as if it had been out speeding and doing smokey burnouts all afternoon. Or maybe the owner simply needed a parking space so he could run inside to grab something. Either way, I think we can all agree, this drop top ain’t a half bad way to get around town.

Tailfins & Dreams – Southampton, NY

July 14th, 2010 by Aaron

It’s dark, cloudy, wet and generally miserable in Manhattan right now. The humidity is bad enough to warrant carrying an extra shirt around. And yet, gazing at these photos of classic cars on a beautiful Summer day in Southampton somehow makes everything alright again. Hopefully they will add some color to your otherwise gloomy day.
