I don't think theres a need for a new thread, most people create their own track day threads for the really special events so I say that anything else should be shown in here even though they don't "count" for whatever award you guys seem to be going for

I really like the 550 and 575--but I prefer the SLR and CGT. And frankly the DB9/Vanquish also has my vote over the 550/575. In the end there are just better looking cars that are more comfortable. And in the CGT's case infinitly more awsome.
The F40 is a bad mofo, but I'd rather have something that's comfortable with some bit of a luxurious comfy interior. But, if I was a multi-millionaire I would definately own an F40 (and then promptly send it to Italy to get it painted dandelion yellow)

SS-HHR, This appeared to be some sort of test car
Yep, you've got one of the first HHR SS models there, which should start arriving at dealerships within the next month or so (if they aren't there already). My guess is that the one you've found may be a test vehicle for GMPD who are probably working on aftermarket stuff for the car.
BTW: I didn't realize they were running Michelins on them. I would be really surprised to see GM put some completely competent rubber on there, stock...
===
Slightly OT: My friends at GMI are telling me that we can expect a Cobalt SS with the same engine to come back somewhere near the end of the '08 model year, so expect about the summer or so 2008.

It was parked in a row of about a dozen small suv type trucks all with Michigan plates. Long term road test I would guess.
Also parked with the 2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP. My phone said the image was too large to send here but it even had the black and white makings like this photo. I felt like I was seening something that was still a secret. 👍
that would look awesome

I am actually rather jaded by it, but the constant release of new cars and the thousands of others that just don't run past my eyes keep me looking. But previous-generation AMG's, for example, don't even get the camera out of my pocket.
Wow. It was all junk until the LHD Tuscan. Didn't anyone else catch that it was LHD?
Over the Blower Bentley?
Mine, then....Here's what's not mine:
Aston Martin DB7 Volante
Another point-and-pray shot. I need a co-driver.
Bentley Arnage T
In the parking lot where my company moved to. Others below.
Bentley Continental GTC
Almost makes up for my previous, god-awful previous GTC photo. Almost.
BMW M6
FINALLY! Sheesh. I don't think that could have taken any longer to find one. And it was in the most unlikely of places: Rhode Island.
BMW Z3 3.0 Coupe
Ugly, but in a cool way. The Z3M Coupe has to be the modern Breadvan.
Chevrolet Camaro SS ~1967
FL plates in NY. Far from home, and the mileage is apparently showing.
Dodge Viper SRT-10
Heard this guy all around Providence, RI. Since he was the only sporty thing in town (well, except for one other), it was impossible not to hear him from miles away. Could only get the photo as I left for home.
Ferrari 430
If only he parked in spot #430.... It looks just gorgeous in silver, yes?
Ford Thunderbird convertible 1955
Perfect car on the perfect day. Missing just one thing, though.
unknown pre-war
Tin Lizzie? Cord? No idea, but open to any ideas. Same day & parking lot as the F430, strangely enough.
Jaguar E-Type Series III
I think it's an S3. Next to the garish ~1969 Corvette.
Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG
Neat car, neat engine, easily superceded by the C55, and probably better as the C43 and C36.
Mercedes-Benz CL600
That purple is so...purple. Looks almost "Midnight Purple" to me.
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
Two passes and this is the better photo. I can't get this camera to do a true manual mode. It keeps overriding my settings, thinking I'm an idiot for not allowing enough light (ISO80, no flash, and it just ups the ISO).
Mercedes-Benz SL600
Probably my last post of SL's until I find the SL63. Jaded, I suppose.
Merkur XR4Ti
Haven't seen one of these in over 10 years. Goes with the Scorpio that I see once a week, though.
MG Sprite
It's not a Sprite, is it? I don't know my MG's so well.
Opel GT
The "other car" in Providence. Not really loud, but it almost suck by me. Ninja camera man, I am. "PROPEL" license plate.
Pontiac Bonneville 1968
Beautiful metallic candy apple red.
Pontiac GTO 6.0
Here because it never got enough credit when it was being sold.
Subaru Impreza Outback/Outback Sport
One word: Nike. Subaru is still sucking.
Volkswagen Jetta GLI Fahrenheit
Did not know this even existed. Still haven't gone to VW's web site to see what else is out there....

I said pretty much everything. So, no.Over the Blower Bentley?
Nice spots harry, especially the silver F430. Very nice color. Would love to see one in person.
Me, today:
Question my order all you want but take a second glance at that Maybach - that's no 57 - it's a 62; all $390,000 of it. Yummy. Only the third one I've ever seen. Murcielago driver sat at that light until it turned red - once it did he gunned it (the noise was ridiculous) and then bottomed out on the road. Sorry for the poor pics - my camera doesn't do nights.

In the local supermarket car park. I was just about to take the picture when the van parked next to it. What a tool.

Saw another Z06 this afternoon, this one silver, but no pics. Its not like you haven't seen them already... Although, there was a buzzy little S2000 trying to play with it. It was like watching the Raptor trying to go after T-Rex in Jurassic Park...
