Was trying out the new camera today at a Jaguar dealer.
Some XKs
An E63 AMG
Porsche Cayman
XJS
XKR
And i've posted this XKRS before.
Garage wasn't open today so I couldn't get any pictures of the owners cars. But the only thing new there that I hadn't posted was a Ferrari California which was in the back.

Never really bothered to upload these pics, but they are from the 2012 Carmel Artomobilia here in Indiana. It was on August 25th. I hope the link works, it's to an album on photobucket, because there are about 115 pictures. There might be a duplicate or two in there, I tried to get them all but I am short on time.
Well, here it is: http://photobucket.com/albums/q728/xXKingJoshXx

Great pics, thanks for sharing! The 2010 Trans-Am confused me, did a quick Google and still not sure if it's a prototype or based off something else?

It's based off of a Camaro SS. It was made by a company here in Indy and they made 3 of them. 550hp. Here's a close up of the spec sheet.
It says automatic on it, but there was another spec sheet on the other side of the car saying it had a 6 speed manual. Didn't check to see what transmission this particular one had.
Edit: here's another show I never bothered to upload.

I don't think this link is working... I didn't upload it right.

Right. So I'm going past the-only-in-Poland Ferrari dealership, just like every morning (God I love that it doesn't get any bit boring for me). Noticed a change. Red 458 Spider disappeared. There was a black FF in its place and a red FF in the black one's original place. 'Hey, what is standing in the place red FF had earlier then...?'
My jaw legitimately dropped.

...the worst thing is - the dealership is relatively easily accessible I think (unless they let in only people actually interested in buying, that is). Apparently, a simple call at the door is enough to get inside.
But even if I get in, taking pictures and filming is not allowed there, so it's VERY likely I won't be able to catch a glimpse of dat @$$ :C
Also, I'm wondering how unlucky I was about the arrival of this baby. It arrived in the dealership from Friday to Monday, that's for sure. I finished my classes at 1:30 PM on Friday and went to the dealership right away to see if there was anything interesting, to find nothing.
Maybe the chairman's gonna know, I saw him at least three times in the past two weeks which is a tad out of ordinary I think; after I got his autograph in March I haven't seen him once, except from what I just mentioned.

You got the chairman of a car dealership to sign an autograph?

Yes I did! 
The man we're talking about is Dante Cinque. Apart from his job in the dealership, he's also the editor-in-chef of my favorite car magazine, "V12".
Once upon a time, I shot a video of a Ferrari 458 Italia accelerating. Before I started filming, there were two guys talking next to it. One of them was Cinque (which I realized a bit too late). I asked them if I can "do my job" with the phone. The taller gentleman replied with Italian accent "100 Euro and go ahead". After a short moment of laugh, both of them kindly allowed me to film the car. I shot the video and set out towards the setting sun.
Right after I shut down the camera in my phone, I realize who I just met. That Italian accent, how could I not recognize it? After coming back home, I went on the Interwebs and searched for the first issue of "V12". Bought it.
After it was delivered to my flat, I was carrying it with me for at least a month until I finally met Cinque again and asked him to sign it.
This is the car next to which he was standing before signing the magazine:
The mag (yes, it's 288 pages) and the signature:
In Italian, the signature says:
"A Arek con simpatia, Dante Cinque"
"For (To) Arek with sympathy"
Yes, that's my real name. Short for Arkadiusz.
I'm sorry.

You know before you told me that story, I thought, "this guy is properly sad".
Now I understand the background, it's awesome. What a cool story!
Can I just ask? "With sympathy"? What does that mean?
Also I AM NOT being sarcastic. I genuinely mean it, cool story.

I just made a terrible translating mistake, that's what it means In Polish and Italian, words (correspondingly) "sympatia" and "simpatia" mean "a poaitive, friendly attitude towards someone". I made one hell of a direct translation there "False friends" got their name for a reason...
