The way I tell is the wheels - the CLS55 has very huge yet somehow understated (compared, at least, to the CLS500) five spokes. Also there are badges on the side - the standard model has none and the CLS55 has "V8 KOMPRESSOR." Then again if the badges were removed, there would be no way to tell.

Apologies for the double post, but I can't appear to put another 'Imageshack' image in an edited post.
Anyway, here's THE most annoying shot ever... Was snapping cars from a bridge when this wallopping thunder came from my left. As I turned around to get a snap a white and red Porsche Carrera went thundering by. It was covered in decals sporting '...Cup' on the side. My shutter clicked at the very milisecond that it went past that big yellow sign!!! Outrage!!!
Now, it was definately a Carrera Cup car of some sort, but the question is, was it a 996 Cup, a 997 GT3 Cup or just a Porsche fanboy stickering up his car to resemble either of the former? Are the actual Cup cars even road legal? It made a hell of a noise and look at the camber on the front.
Any ideas?
This is what I thought it was (GT3 Cup) but the sticker/body colour is in inverted and the mirrors are all 996
This is the photo. Again..... AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Thanks, again. There's another local dealer special edition that I've seen around: Subaru Legacy GTX.

The first time I saw one, I thought it was a lame decal, but after the second one a week later, I had to look it up. I should be able to get a photo in the next week or so, given how often I see them.

That happens to me all the time. My camera is so slow, I've missed some truly interesting stuff. Most recently, a 930 911 Turbo and a new Audi RS4, both within 10 minutes of each other. Unless it's parked or I'm stuck in traffic, I sometimes don't even bother. A new motion-compensating camera is what I need....
All from today:
Ferrari 355 Spyder (non-F1; M5Power is right; it is beatiful)
Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
Mercedes-Benz 219 (for sale to a good home! The same shop has two London taxis buried off to the side, but I'll get that photo later.)

Well, the Grand Prix is in town, and as everyone knows, motorsports provide great sightings. Today was mostly just qualifying, but I still managed some good sightings:
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
That's a Viper GTS ACR. I've seen it once before in Denver (photos somewhere in this thread). Less than 2000 were manufactured over the Viper's last four years in first-gen form. Very cool car.
The actual Grand Prix is tomorrow.

You lucky dawg!!!
Well, Saturday night (my second-to-last Saturday before leaving Denver for college) produces some very nice cars. First things first:
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
Apologies for the poor picture in the upper left, but do note that's the new Jeep Compass which isn't yet out. Michigan plates but not manufacturer, just standard issue. Testing was occurring though - either that or the guy had three radar detectors stuck to his windshield and some other equipment in the rear seat.
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
I love the Z8 - otherwise it'd have the Trailblazer SS's spot above.
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
Hell yes! Bono's got one - the epitome of cool.
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
I used to think silver was the best color - then I saw this one. Plates indicate a 2003 purchase here in Denver, but I'd never seen it, unbelievably, until tonight. Just look at it - spectacular, is it not?
August 12, 2006 - Denver, Colo.
This car has been out all summer and I've just finally seen one. Interestingly, the BMW M6 has also been out all summer and I saw my first of those today too, at the Grand Prix. Though it had Canadian plates and it left before I could photograph it. Not bad eh?

Don't you just love these things?
What color was it?My camera is a 4.1-megapixel Sony DSC-S85. We bought it a few years ago and it was top-range, but these days it's fallen back (sort of like the Saab 9-5). Actually Sony doesn't even sell it anymore. But I love my camera - I'll take my 8000th picture in two weeks - unbelievable because I hadn't even used it until last May. My parents have offered me a new camera free of charge but I'm loyal to products that work well. It's slow to turn on and it takes blurry pictures in the twilight, but it hasn't failed me yet, and that's what counts.
As far as where I take pictures, 99% of them are taken from my car as I drove slowly by (actually I usually stop to avoid a blurred image). The area in which I take pictures fosters this situation. Many of my pictures are taken at valet parking areas, and sometimes the valets see me. Typically they couldn't care less and I've never had trouble. Tonight, in fact, a valet saw me photographing a Bentley Continental GT and as I drove by he waved at me.
The way I see it is this: people who have expensive and flashy cars expect their cars to be oohed and aahed at. They eventually get used to people taking photos, and they have pride in their cars and know that it's something you have to deal with if you have a car like theirs. I've never once had a negative incident while photographing a car, and I've never been accused of being suspicious.

Well after driving around my area for the past few weeks, it turns out there's some nice cars here! Turns out someone owns a brand new 2007 Shelby GT500 convertible( I hope I can get a pic of it again, I was aimlessly driving around and stumbled upon the driveway where it was parked when I got lost) my dad and I have both spotted a mint blue Ferrari 360 Modena Spyder driving around here, so I sure hope I can find where he lives soon. Also a few blocks away from my hous there's a yellow viper with black stripes that sit in someone's driveway in an oddly designed house where the land actually dips down and you can barely see the house, kinda looks like a big dip in the land and an empty spot when its beside two houses. Finally There's an M3 here with an M3 GTR widebody on it. I'm thinking its a normal M3 because it doesn't have a little spoiler on the back. Hopefully I can find my cam and hopefully snap pics of these cars someday.
