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

Meh I see them in Michigan all the time during the summer, if they are in the Japanese car hating capital of the world I would consider them common.

Oh and I saw a Bentley Conti GT today, in the snow, as well as a Quaterpotte. They both really are stupidly common now. Why is that?

Because Quattroportess aren't very expensive compared to most Porsches & Mercedes. There's also been a strong desire for Continental GTs.

Another Gallardo nera doug?

That's not a Nera. It doesn't have the matte black side mirrors, spoiler, rear body panels, front panels, roof, or wheels. The calipers are also silver on the Nera.

Heh, i didnt even know the nera had matte black panels on it!

Audi S5, hidden away in a parking lot, couldnt get any pics They are certainly good looking cars.

Where have you been for the last year!? Good spots as usual, Doug!

Aston Martin DB9
Ferrari F430
SL65 AMG Merc

and...

A front/rear camouflaged (blue paint) prototype for the upcoming Orion Falcon (on Monash Freeway if anyone in Melb. wanted to know).

Obviously you didn't take a pic of it but seeing as you seen it up close for real, how big does it look compared to the BF? Did it look good?

Wait... what's so cool about Serge's muscle cars? And how dare you overlook Rue's sights!

Muscle cars are da coolest. Yes that was slang talk I know. I wish I constantly had a camera on me to take pics of the muscle cars I see all the time, and anything else I might see. I once passed a Ferrari Roadster thing and a Lamborghini Countach while driving- wish I could have taken pics somehow.

 

[Rue]

Wasn't able to snap a lot of pretty nice cars that I saw over the last day or so, cos my camera wasn't handy in time, so these two will have to do...

Ferrari F612 Scaglietti (These seem to be having a mini revival since the 599 GTB came out)

My friend took this and didn't seem to want to listen to my advice about framing the car properly

Porsche 928 S4

Thanks. Wish I could be around to participate in this thread a bit more but school and socializing are so demanding the only things I really have time for is Buckhead and putting the pictures up!

Well, it is pretty cool to see old school, American muscle in Europe, imo.

I was driving around town last night at about 11pm and I saw a Lancer Evo X. I wasn't even aware they were out in the US yet. Unfortunately the picture I have is completely worthless. I couldn't get close enough to take a picture because the owner was literally standing next to it with a group of like 6 other people. I drove by it nearly 6 times to verify that it was indeed an Evo X. The wheels match, the grill was perfect, the intercooler was there, and so was the hood scoop as well as the spoiler. If it was a fake, some college kid spent a lot of money to do it.

I always see well modified STI's and Evo's at this particular gas station on Saturday nights so I'll try and get a better picture when I get a chance.



I know it's a bad picture, but I honestly wouldn't have posted this if I wasn't completely sure of what I saw.

That is exactly what I saw. For sure.

What's most ridiculous about it was I live literally, in the middle of nowhere. Manhattan, Kansas.

 

[Joey D]

A picture is better then no picture at all, pretty cool you saw one. Nice spot 👍!

 

[Arkangel]

Found another one at the Mitsubishi dealership as I was driving by to see if my eyes had deceived me. Indeed they had not.

 

[Joey D]

I'll have to go have a look at the Mistu dealership this week and see if they have any one the lot I can look at.

No argument there... but THE BEST SPOTTINGS EVAH! they aren't

Warning: These photos are crappy quality, sorry I don't carry a camera with me. Just a RAZR.

Anyways, so we went to Best Buy and I usually spot the nice cars before my dad but while we were waiting at the light in the Roush my dad says what's that? And I look between the line of cars in front of us and see a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder entering the Best Buy parking lot. So I was like sweet. So we enter and finally find it and we park opposite of it, I asked to so i could take a picture of it. Well as I got out I was about to whip out my phone but then I saw a guy walking kind of briskly toward the Lambo's direction. So I waited and figured it was the owner and it was. He reparked it because a minivan had parked right next to it shortly after we had parked opposite of it. Which kind of bummed me out since he parked it right next to a, I think, 911 Turbo. I have a picture so you guys can confirm, i'm ashamed I can't identify it but i'm not good with Porsches.

Here's the Porsche when we were about to leave Best Buy:

Here's the Gallardo as he was moving to repark it:

Then after we got back I saw it in a corner of the parking lot all by itself, it was directly behind where I was positioned in the second photo in a desolate corner of the parking lot. He should have parked there in the first place IMO if he cared so much instead of reparking it while giving dirty looks to the family who parked next to it in the minivan:

This was pretty exciting for me since seeing cars like these are rare for me even though I live in California.

 

[Brett]

Yep, that is a Porsche 997 Turbo. Two very nice spots in a Best Buy parking lot. 👍

 

[Blackbird.]

I guess I'll give the Gallardo owner a break since it's so new he has the temp. plates. But he should have parked where he ended up in the first place.

+1 I'll take the NSX over that Maserati anyday. I'm being serious.

That is just about the sexiest modern 911 you can find--good god its just so ****ing beautiful. Great spot!

 

[Blackbird.]

Yikes! I'd have to go with the Maserati. I usually haven't really been keen on Maserati's styling but they did really f'ing good on the Gran Turismo.

And judging how well that picture came out on my phone I really wish I had a camera, it would have looked stunning.

 

[TopHat]

JCE, you're crazy.

As would I.

Another late 70's red Ford F-series pickup. Its not the same one as before, but its pretty close. And that 335i saloon looks pretty damn good in red.

What's Buckhead? Is that some sort of carnal frat activity?

Driving into town I saw this on the side of the road so snapped off a couple of pictures. It seems to have an unusally large wing. An e-Cookie to whoever can identify it.

Wow, my side pic is really good considering I was driving passed at the time!

Since I only managed a brief glimpse of it, I couldn't give you a definite answer. But yes, it looks to be the same size, if not bigger. Looks great in blue either way. 👍

Yes - though, in the States at least, that 'dress up' package was a factory option.
