Then that's where your Spyker's going to go occasionally as there's a Spyker dealership in Troy.
Hmm must be at the Troy Motor Mall off of Maple Lawn, they have just about every dealer there I can possibly think of. They had a Veyron there for a short time two summers ago. I stop off and look around at the Lambo, Ferrari, and Maserati dealers every once in a while just to dream. The sales people are pretty nice.
Although I wouldn't doubt someone owning a Spyker in Birmingham, it's one of the most upscale areas around here. I wish I could have seen the plates to see if they were dealer ones or not. Oh well, it looks like I have new car stomping ground now. While walking around down there I saw three different 360's and two 430's out cruising around but wasn't in a position to take a picture.

I like it alot. I didn't even know they were out yet.
Factory's not far up the road and we've been seeing some pre-pros around Atlanta... could've been that; I didn't get a look at the plates. No idea who's going to buy these things but I hope a few people do... the lines are cool.

I like it, it's something new and different from BMW and it doesn't suck. (Referring to the Chris Bangle transition, it's gotten better though) Were you close enough to tell if it was a smaller or bigger than imagined? At the very least I think people are intrigued by it's engine. It's pretty cool.
Size was similar to what I had imagined. What I had not imagined was the steep rake of the roof. I knew it was steep but man - it looks like those rear passengers have no head room!! I think that's why it was so cool - quite different from other SUVs on the road.
I've also been seeing some new Infiniti EX35s... I'm an Infiniti guy but the comparison isn't there - X6 all day long! (then again the EX is probably some ridiculous amount cheaper)

Yeah BMW has always had a premium for... being a BMW. The rake makes it that much cooler though.

No it hasn't. I still think the 7 series today is ugly and the 5 series teeters but still think it's an OK looking car. Would still have to have a brand new M3 though, more realistically a 335i would be awesome. Coupe of course.
Eh. They're so damn expensive. I'd take all aforementioned vehicles but I'd be all over the competition beforehand. The chapter advisor of my fraternity just got a new 328 coupe and he let me drive it... fun, but not for what he paid! The G35 beckons...

That's because it's a 328! Need to drive the 335i. Regardless though the coupes just look sexy. Everytime I see one I am excited but it's never a 335i. But anyways i'm out, i'm so tired from prom and we were kinda going offtopic anyways.

Nothing too impressive but it was the location that made it special. Thats house #66. I live in 80. Just a few houses down.
Probably one of the nicest cars ive seen on my little street. The guy had dealer plates and all. Maybe he will buy the house and become our neighbor

I'd take that 335i over that Aston.... if I were paying for one of them. So you live in a pretty wealthy neighborhood? I can't seem to bring myself to take a camera with me nor actually take a picture if I do. I'm too worried of what some peoples reactions would be. People are crazy these days *cough*Doug*cough*
. I think people watch too much Gone in 60 seconds.

Not much today. I guess weekends, although beautiful, don't bring out the nicer cars like a decent week day. I guess the business folk keep home.
Blacked out CL55
Blacked out C2S
Blacked out GTI (well, almost)
Frustratingly out of focus considering I saw it coming from a mile away
It's okay 'cause two seconds later another 360 Spyder rolled by

Not a CL55 - that's a bone stock CL65 - incredibly uncommon. Thanks for the photo.

Among the better aftermarkets I've seen but still not as good as the stock Challenge style wheels.

I like the second angle better, and I agree on it being one of the better looking F430s.
EDIT: It seems that he's blacked out the taillights from the second angle. That I am not too keen on.
