Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[harrytuttle]

Dodge Journey, I wasn't even aware that they were driving around yet. It has M plates on it meaning it's from the Tech Centre right down the road. Good lord is it ugly and the back end looks like a Volkswagen.

Neat. The Caliber has a big brother. Now they can both go hide in the corner and whine about how lame they are.

The Nitro is a small SUV and the Durango is a large SUV. It makes sense that Dodge would want a midsize SUV. Don't say Dodge can't have SUVs just because Jeep does. By that logic, Mercury shouldn't have any cars. Neither should GMC. Or Buick.

Funny you should mention those brands. Not much for sales, are they? They may actually go the way of Oldsmobile at this rate. I've never been a fan of sister brand redundancy (prime example being VW/Audi/etc.), but it's even worse if you clone bad cars. At least VW's passing the Golf around. You can't clone the Explorer, make it only slightly softer but more expensive, and expect to sell it to the same people. And you can't sell anything Buick to young people if it's not a GNX (which they could do, by way of Holden). As for GMC...well, what are they selling these days? A few vans?

I didn't see these beauties today, I've been sitting on them for a while. Check them out:

Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Monterey, CA. July 26, 2007.

Aston Martin Vantage. March 21, 2007.

Lamborghini Gallrado in San Francisco, CA. November 4, 2006.

Nice DB9 Volante. I still don't think I have seen one of them yet

 

[Alex.]

And I don't wish to see anymore mentions about how great your CCX shot was. CCX looks nice, but I don't think we need to hear about how great it was over a few other folks.

.

Yep, I already apologised about it and wont be bringing it up again.

Last two spots in Atlanta for 2007:

Phantom on South Carolina plates.

Early Mercedes G-wagen on local Georgia plates. These were never sold in the States. This is a diesel soft-top version.

First two spots in Colorado for winter break:

New Toyota Land Cruiser.

Yes, it's at a dealer, but forgive me - I've contributed a very small number of rule-violating spots in this thread, so I'm taking this liberty. Plus, it's worth it - it's not too often you see an Enzo anywhere. This is at an exotics dealer here in Denver. It's the third Enzo I've seen, and the third color - I saw a red one last March at an auto show, a black one this summer at Ferrari of Denver, and now this one. Still no street spots of an Enzo from me.

 

[Metar]

And that track-prepped 911? Can I see more of it?

Livery, number-stickers, huge spoilers, and the mark of all Motorsports Porsches: Lots of rear camber. Hotness.

 

[Alex.]

just ignore the LP640

Loving the colour on that enz'.

what part of the showroom, it doesnt look too furbished!

 

[McLaren]

What's the car behind the 2 Porsche's, Doug?

 

[Alex.]

What's the car behind the 2 Porsche's, Doug?

Looks like an NSX with unmolested spoiler.

That's what I was thinking, though the spoiler looked a bit too curved for a NSX.

 

[1X83Z]

What's the car behind the 2 Porsche's, Doug?

It's an Acura NSX. The showroom had some great cars - not pictured and to the left of the Enzo is a silver Porsche Carrera GT, and also in the room was a 1966 Ford GT40. Now, I'm not the best when it comes to taking pictures of vehicles on display, and so I skipped all these photos and went just for the Enzo. Sue me.

[Joey D]

Pretty cool shots Doug, I've never seen a yellow Enzo before. Thanks for the pictures!

I love how little the Mini looks in comparison to that. It must be huge!

 

[McLaren]

Unforunately Doug, you probably should have. That dealer apparently doesn't take many photos for online ads. No Carrera GT or Enzo in sight, even in the background.

 

[land sea air]

I didn't even know there was a new new landcruiser... what are the details?

I can always go back, but to me, photographing them in the dealer is just boring unless it's something I'm ridiculously interested in. If you want to see a Carrera GT, let me know the angle - I've seen four on the road!

I didn't even know there was a new new landcruiser... what are the details?

I wasn't aware they were out yet, but evidently they are. That photo makes it look a bit like the new Highlander but in reality, the differences are extremely obvious, and it's not based on size but rather on styling - the rear half of the Land Cruiser is very 'Land Cruiser.' It's got a 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 and all sorts of luxury and off-roading features. Base price is $63,200, and it's got three rows of seats standard. Pre-crash safety is optional. Once again, it's among the smaller vehicles in its class, at 194.9 inches long (versus 202.0 for the Tahoe).

its a dodge ram hes getting (according to the full article)

and they tried and failed

[land sea air]

I say more power to him as long as he isn't blocking anything and/or causing a dangerous situation, which from what I have heard he is not. He is choosing to pay every fine for a convenience. No sense in the county spending all of the money they've made off of him just to buy the trucks that will cut off this money supply.

 

[ND4SPD]

I would have gotten a 3500 Diesel Dually, for the hell of it.

Or to be even more of an annoyance, he should have picked up an International CXT.

Man, that is a small tow truck.

 

[1X83Z]

Today's high was in the high 40s, and there's still two inches of snow on the grass (though the major streets are clear of it). Despite that:

They're calling for more snow tomorrow, so I don't expect to see another Ferrari for weeks.

I'll take the LP640 please and thank you.

GT3RSR for me.

WOW! I have to say, thought the Sol was damn low, it wasn't that low. Or ugly, as a matter of fact...

Over an Enzo?

For the record, that Enzo, serial 131319, was originally sold in North Carolina where the owner "drove the hell out of it." After only a few months and 5,000 miles it required a new engine. The owner offered it for sale on consignment for $1.2 million (which, at the time, was considered high for an Enzo but now is probably within the market price range) in mid-2003, and it sat in a North Carolina showroom until at least 2005, when someone in California bought it. I don't know how it ended up in Colorado, but I hope it sticks around at least for the winter so I can go back in and get another look or two at it.

The 328 is pretty cool-looking... certainly moreso than the rounded del Sol!

 

[Blackbird.]

Over an Enzo?

Yes, I am not interested in the Enzo's styling over the LP640 and the Enzo is too much for me. I'd be alot more happy with the LP640.

When we were getting the A6 from the dealership.

 

[TopHat]

Is it a new A6 or was it just in for repairs?

He bought an 03 A6 2.7T

I didn't know that Spo-compton had an Audi dealership .

Yes, we are ghetto... but not that ghetto. Considering there are 7 people on a waiting list for the R8 around here, there is money here. Somewhere, in a corner, hidden. Probably all on the South Hill.
