More dealer pics

F type at Jag dealer

Ford dealer

ST
Raptor

At a used car dealer.

The same blue mustang but next to a Catalina.

 

[Johnny_Clash]

That Pontiac is a 63, which pre-dates the GTO and you can see where it says Catalina on the front fender. The Catalina was their full-sized, and the mid-60s Tempest/GTO was an intermediate.

AND

It has eight lug wheels.

"You can choose between this Prius, SmartCar, mini Cooper, or this red Ferrari. Or if you're feeling like the Ferrari Is too big, we have this Lotus here too."

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm more interested in the Lotus behind it tbh. XD

Yea this lot is pretty wierd but there is always one unique car there everytime and this ferrari for some reason caught my eye. Don't typically stop at dealers a lot but this lot usually has one unique car.

Will never forget the nsx I saw here for just 16,000.

16,000? U.S. Dollars? Was it missing an engine?

Yes and No, I wish I had my old phone. My dad and me were looking at it and saw that price and was wondering why also. We thought it was mileage or something was wrong with the engine but the windows were tinted so we couldn't see and we never really came back to ask questions.

Pretty sure it's an MR2-based replica, I thought that was the point of the caption?

It's not. He was just implying that a rich person wanting a mid engine car was going to get a Ferrari, not an MR2.

These are pics from the website:

Some non-stock bits but that does look like the real deal. Wow, bargain of the century?

 

[ildd]

More to come later. I forgot why I quit going to this in 2011... Never again.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Just a few dealer pics for today, haven't been to the Honda dealer in a LONG time so nice to see this S800 still sitting here.

And a new GTR at the Nissan dealer

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Quite a large post here, so I'll put these all in as thumbnails.




Heavily modified Gallardo. Video at the bottom.



I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd Dinan I've seen.



T/A!!!!




Panoz Esperante GT. Whut?! I wasn't expecting to see this!



Lingenfelter Z06. Anyone know about how much power these make? I only heard it for a second at idle and it sounded badass.



C7 and a C6 with a "454" badge on the side. Sounded awesome.



My first CLA! I believe this one was a 250.






If for whatever reason (on a phone, lazy, don't care) you don't watch the video above, I highly recommend you watch the video below.

(It's still processing while I'm posting this so if you're unable to watch it because of that it should be ready in 5-10 minutes.

 

[Doog]

It wouldn't be a page of the Events & Showroom thread without a long-ass post from Doog.

Having a Ferrari doesn't exempt you from parking within the lines, ****.

I'm assuming this to be a kit-car of some sort. It had a Ford racing engine in it.

What a nice color.

Those are some long shorts.

A surprisingly small wheel!

wat

Another really nice color.

Are light bars legal?

So many rock chips, though.

A Cressida!

Why would you put a Hyundai emblem on a Kia?

Interesting fourth light down there on the bumper.

I've never seen someone my age take such good care of a car.

It sounded nice.

One of the nicer matte-finished cars I've seen.

A 325e in disguise!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An un-molested Type R!

He waited patiently for a good five minutes while the tC ahead of him figured out its parking spot.

*sigh* *unzip*

DWN2DIV is what the Mini's plate says.

Thanks to Flickr's bogus new system, it took me a good 50 minutes to post this!

You can always use photobucket instead of flicker.

Photobucket compresses photos, which really diminishes the quality.

 

[ildd]

@xXKingJoshXx that red Viper in the beginning looks really wrong.
@Doog that green... Camaro-Am is... see above.


I'll have 160 pics up tomorrow.

[Tyger]

Nice post @Doog but any more pics of the "Catwalk" car? Looks intriguing.

 

[Dagger311]

I've got nearly 400 photos from today. No way in hell I'm sitting here putting all of them up, so here's some of the best.

Edit:

 

[ildd]

Here's the rest of the photos from yesterday morning. Roughly 1,000 cars, I know I didn't visit each lot. It is waaaaaaaay too big. It was the ideal size (and better diversity) in December 2010. And now everyone is a dbag who thinks their Mustang and 3-series BMW is special, lol.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I kinda envy you guys, I don't even know where the car shows in Northwest FL are at yet.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Caffine and octane? @Dagger311? That's Houston cars and coffee right @ildd?

Yes.

It's held monthly in Alpharetta. It was a blast. There's so much more there, those are just highlights.

 

[GregTheStig]

Caffeine and Octane represent! 👍 Most of my pics were of the 458 Speciale.











Okay... all of them were

 

[Dagger311]

A few more that I forgot:
