Default LC 500 Spotter’s Thread

Since I rarely see an LC on the road I figured it would be fun to start an LC Spotter’s Thread.

Driving from Tucson to Phoenix this morning I saw a Nightfall Mica Coupe:






And once in Phoenix I spotted the second LC convertible I’ve ever seen in public—female driver, to boot! (the black wheels and black interior ruined the beautiful Infrared exterior for me, sadly)





Post up your shots of these beauties in the wild!

tmilLC500, i fixed your post quoting... if you delete some of a post, you still need to 'end' what you're quoting with [ / quote] (without spaces). Thanks.

You got my attention for a second there because I thought you had caught me in my Nightfall Mica coupe! We have homes in Tucson and Scottsdale, so we're on that stretch of road a lot. But, that wasn't me. My license plate is a different color.

Then this thread will be special then!

I have only seen 2 Convertibles in the wild.....I see a coupe probably once every few weeks.

There is a white coupe and a silver coupe that live somewhere in my neighborhood as I have seen both a few times on the main street outside our 'hood.

This one had CA plates.

Good thread. LC's are definitely not for the average driver. Here in S.W. Fla. a Corvette can be seen on every block, even starting to see a few C8's. One of the reasons I am seriously looking at an LC.

I know, I know….the service bay is probably cheating but this is the first yellow convertible I have seen in person!

(and we have a forum member who just bought one!)

Today I was driving my 19' Flare Yellow LC and saw a Structural Blue Vert going the opposite way.
A few weeks ago, drove my LC to lunch and was eating outside and a guy came up and asked me if that was my LC. I was super nervous to reply that it was, thinking what happened to it. But to my surprise, he told me that he parked his yellow LC right next to mine. Unfortunately I did not feel like getting up and taking a picture.

I just saw a nice white convertible on Olympia Ave. here in Punta Gorda, Fla. Heavily tinted windows. Could not get a pix as I was driving at the time. Would like to meet the owner if on this forum. Get some ideas.

Wow! Saw two LC’s on the drive home from getting coffee!

Atomic Silver coupe on 101 @ Scottsdale Rd and Nightfall Mica coupe pulling out of the JW Marriott.




I know….my photo skills suck.

I see them regularly in the Scottsdale area. I'm in the Old Town area. Lots of folks driving their nice cars to be seen.

I was on the 101 at Scottsdale Rd and it could have been me in the silver coupe...if the photo was taken last Friday (Dec 10). I was on my way to inMobile to get a front camera installed.
