Panoz Esperante, I believe it's called. But yeah, that'd be it. Nice catch, Doug.

This is the Esperante:

The red one is the Roadster/AIV Roadster.
 
Great spots, Doug! Weather here isn't great. I may go out tomorrow and try and compete with that! ;)
 
Nice spot on the 512TR and the Roadster Doug. Thats one nice looking Panoz there..... 👍
 
Black on black on black with chrome lip and center cap P71 Crown Vic. This is exactly the way I want mine to look when I buy it later this year, exept I want the push bar and spot light. :D

Daddy likes those two cars. :drool:

I saw this last week...it was dusty but I was told it had a 500ci big block V8 in it :eek:

 
Anyone know what this is? I have no idea except for the Ferrari badges.

I'd have a pic of the front, but I got confused between the save and erase buttons on my phone.
 
I spent a few hours on the Vegas Strip today... what a miserable experience. I even forgot my camera. :rolleyes: I'll just list what I saw, nothing terribly spectacular for the area.

2x Ferrari F430 Spiders
1x BMW M3 (E36)
1x BMW M3 (E46)
1x BMW M6
1x Shelby GT-H (Saw another one earlier at McCarran Airport)
1x Dodge Viper R/T10 w/ matching silver hard top
1x Toyota Supra (Complete with matching jerk darting around traffic!)
1x '67 Chevy Impala Sport Coupe (Hardtop)
1x Lorinser MB S-Class (Looked really cheesy in silver, but it sounded nice)
and more Lexus LS600hl's than you can shake a stupid, stupid stick at.

It was a miserable day out there, as there isn't much a 14 year old can do in LV.
 

Very, very nice. 👍 ;)

And congrats on the 512TR, too. That's two off your list in just a month, right?

I've seen plenty of Mini Shortys, but never a Metro Shorty... until today:

The proportions on that are so...awkward. It looks like 3D photoshop, if that's even possible. :ill: But that's okay. I have some of my own photos to make me feel better. The ones marked (*) are taken when my girlfriend was with me. It's nice to have someone so accepting and supporting of such an odd habit. I should marry her or something....


(*)Ford Mustang Mach 1 1971

So nice to see muscle cars again. This is a nice start for the spring.

GMC Sierra Denali

Had no idea these existed. I had to check Edmunds just to be sure it wasn't a badge job. Rare, or just rare here?

Audi S8 2008

After so many S6's and S4's (and a few RS4's), I finally captured a S8. All I need now is the R8...outside a showroom.

BMW M6

The journalists were right. It does look good in white. Still a boat, though.

BMW Z4 M

Black does it some favors, but what's up with the badge? Could it really be sun-faded already, or is that an option?

(*)BMW Z8

Always a nice catch, even with the hardtop on on such a sunny day.

(*)Maserati Gran Turismo

First one I've seen, and in the ideal color & wheels. Not bothered at all by the Mondeo-alike taillights. I think it works great.

Mercedes-Benz CL600 2008

Not crazy about the 50kg wheels, but it's still got some presence. As all new CL's do, I think. The AMG's work that much better, of course.

Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG

I guess it's here as a contrast to the CL600. Black vs. white, bloat-type-A vs. bloat-type-B....

Morris Mini

The opposite of bloat. And yes, he was driving on the "right" side of the car.

Pontiac GTO 6.0

Not exactly special, but still extremely under-appreciated. Funny, Pontiac is once again marketing their new car (the G8) as the "most horsepower for under $30,000". The GTO was marketed that way. What makes them think this line of thinking will work again? Both are great cars; both are priced extremely well. Both are Australian. Will both tank in sales? I hope not. Despite the badge engineering, I like the car, and I like where Pontiac is trying to head to.

Porsche 911 Turbo 2008

Turbo's are nice, but they can be nicer...

(*)Porsche 911 Turbo 2008

...when they've got carbon-ceramic brakes. First Turbo I've seen to be blessed as such.

(*)Porsche 911 GT3 RS

So nice, so nice. While that may be outside a dealer, they do not sell Porsche. That dealer is about 1,000 yards further down the road in that picture.
 
Today, just came back from the city, I saw a GT40 Replica. It was literally surrounded by people (who probably thought it was a ferrari or something lol) after I took a photo.

It was nice riding with you, :) You're just so cool, I can't help it, even if I did not know it would turn into a car-spotting expedition.

:embarrassed: I love you harrytuttle, you're the best!!
 
The Sierra Denalis are just rare....always have been, always will be, since people who want luxury trucks usually stick with the SLT trim levels (or Lariat/King Ranch on Ford or Limited on Dodge). Ironically, the Yukon/XL Denalis are pretty popular!

Edit: Oh noes, a GF has joined the ranks of GTPlanet....we are now dooooooomed! :scared:
 
Did you catch what county it's from? Any sort of Bentley or Rolls (or anything for that matter) is quite rare for Dayton (Montgomery county).

County 21 - Delaware County according to this. Columbus area I guess.

My girlfriend (whoever it is at the time) is nearly always along for the ride when I'm taking the posted photos as you guys know from the Lauren/Veyron thread - it's incredible to have people who support passions so close in your life. Today on Ferrari Chat I read a post where a guy's wife didn't "get" his Ferrari and had yet to even get inside the car after eight months of ownership - horrible!!!! I can't stress enough to you guys how if you enjoy doing this (or ANYTHING) and you're too self conscious to do it in front of a woman then FIND A DIFFERENT ONE!!!!!

Some rare M5Power relationship advice :)

Thanks for the kind words on my spots. Love yours too, specifically the Z8 and GranTurismo.
