I've been hunting for a universe Ironhide for a week or so now and yesterday I was driving into the parking lot of a Walmart at McCarthy Ranch in Milpitas, CA when I saw a car that looked exactly like Silverstreak. As I got closer, I saw the red autobot emblem on the hood and I yelled to my gf, "That IS silverstreak!". Anyone seen this guy driving around his car? It was completely decked out with a paint job exactly like Silverstreak and emblems on the front and back of the car. Wish I saw it parked so I could have taken a pic of it.

And even better, when I went in to look for Ironhide, they didn't have him or any other figure that I didn't already have except just 1 universe Silverstreak [which I haven't seen in stores yet either]. It was a happy day =D [I also bought an animated Ultra Magnus that day at another store while looking for Ironhide].

Thats a cool story, It's always fun to see the real life cars that our favorite transforming robots are modeled after. Especially is the owner is a Transfan themselves. I have a White RX-8 around the block from myself.

But which Silverstreak was it? The Subaru WRX

or the old Datsun 240Z?

I'm pretty sure it was the old Datsun, it was really quick but I don't remember seeing a grill so I don't think it could have been the Subaru.

I've seen a silver subaru around that looks exactly like the Silverstreak from alternators(apart from the autobot logos)...
I've also seen a white datsun,I guess maybe that could be Prowl?
I think us seeing cars that resemble Transformers is super awesome,especially for me considering, I live in a small city.
