Thanks! Know of it?

Yup, I've heard of it. Great school.

I love Southern California traffic.

I LOL'd.

Rolls Royce Silver Spur II.

These tail lights looks so much better, why did they have to change them?

She cut me off.

Cool!

 

[weiss_komet]

I LOVE the Exige!!! I've also seen an orange one.

 

[GT4_Rule]

A black Dodge Viper SRT-10 at night.
Silver Cadillac CTS-V.

 

[GT Pro]

Got to love Chapel St. Melbourne.

For one, I saw an 18-yr old in an 2006 Aston Martin DB9. Clarkson was right when he said it's pornography, not a car.

And the rest:

2x Bentley Arnage
6x Merecedes AMG
1x BMW M6
2x BMW M5
1x Mitsubishi EVO 9 IX MR
6x Porsche 911
7x BMW 7-series
4x Lotus Exige/Elise
4x Porsche Cayman
6x BMW M3
27x Mercedes C-class
38x BMW 3 series
14x Porsche Boxter
15x Nissan GTR

Hm.. This covers the last few days, I guess.
-Not one, but TWO Jaguar E-Types, one a couple and one a convertible.
-A Daimler DS420 limousine
-That damn Z8 again, and a 6-Series that sometimes is in the same parking lot.

15x Nissan GTR

This reminds me, I actually also saw a Skyline GT-R R34 today, but it was going the opposite direction so I couldn't get a shot of it. This might not seem like a big deal to some (and by some I mean chaser_fan), but around here, Skylines are rare as hell.

Was it clean though? Because around where I was only one or two were unmodified. Rich young Asians...

Which reminds me that I also saw about 12x modified WRX's.

I saw a Porsche 911 GT3 RS today, sounded really nice.
Here's a crappy pic

Come on, guys. Post 1?

• Don't just state the name of the car. Give us a picture at least - even if it's a crap one from a camera phone. If you can't show us the car, how can we believe that you saw it? And don't just replicate an image from Supercars.net or the vendor's web site: we want to see THE car that you saw.

I only caught a quick glance of it, but it looked stock.

Saw a Dodge Ram SS/T today, black with white stripes. I think it was pretty rare given I've never seen one like that.

Spectacular car-spotting night yesterday in Atlanta.

September 9, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

You'll note that the two most recent BMW M cars are parked next to each other. Apologies for the poor quality of some of these pics; I'm still learning the ins and outs of a new camera.

September 9, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

Gorgeous, isn't it?

September 9, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

I've posted this same Phantom three times now. I know it loses coolness with each individual post, but it's the most expensive car I photographed last night, so I had to include it. It's not the most expensive car I saw though - that honor goes to a Maybach (about $15k more than the Phantom), which I was unable to photograph.

September 9, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

I'm a huge Gallardo fan, but I'm not sure if I'd get mine in white. The vehicle attracted little attention, though in the photograph you can see someone else photographing it as well. That's only because of the vehicle parked a bit behind it:

September 9, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

This Murcielago Roadster is owned by a well-known rapper. I asked his name from some other people milling around the vehicle, but I didn't understand what they told me. It was later suggested to me that it could be Busta Rhymes' car, or possibly Master P's, although I don't believe either rapper lives in the Atlanta area. I have a strong affinity for the Murcielago Roadster since the last one I photographed got me in CAR; as a result, I took quite a few pictures:

- Rear right
- Same angle as above with photographer
- Rear left close-up
- Rear close up

The car was parked there all evening and I walked past it several times. It's absolutely fantastic - although the Phantom still takes home the title of "most expensive car" last night, since it goes for about $1k-$2k more than this.

That looks like busta rymes Car from"cribs"

Only gallardo with green matching rims that I know of

Excellent photos Doug, back on form

But I have to call "no" on the quote above.

Most recent M's would the the Z4 ///M and the M6.



For shame...

I thought that too, slipping up doug?

I saw a couple of 'Amusing' cars today, check the Questionable mods thread in a minute

That was what we thought, however this site has disproven that. It could still be Busta Rhymes' vehicle - it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he got a new one. The car had temporary plates expiring in October, so it's been on the roads less than a month.

I know I've got a fair reputation when a minor mistake like that raises questions of me slipping up!

You guys are right of course - the M6 came out after the M5. You can't blame me for forgetting it though - I still haven't seen one.

I saw a new M6 a week or so ago. Polished black shimmering in the sunlight....absolutely gorgeous. It was the only time I've ever wished I'd had a camera phone.

Seriously, nobody should ever make a post like this--not because it's ludicrous, but BECAUSE IT'S CRUEL!! Even if you did see all of these cars, WHY NO PICTURES??? It's such a tease! And leave the C-Class and 3-Series off; they aren't noteworthy.

 

[Rue]

Great sightings again, Doug! Looks like the move to Atlanta has supplied those real supercar spots that you were looking for.

I myself saw a white NSX-R yesterday and that was about it. I also saw a white Lambo Gallardo Convertible a couple of days ago (pic later)

 

[1X83Z]

I caught this car on campus today:

September 11, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

And as if we needed any more proof this place was full of the rich:

September 11, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that Georgia's "Emory University" license plate is, on average, on more expensive vehicles than any other license plate type in the nation. That the vehicle possesses an Emory plate means it's owned by either an alumni, a current student, or a professor or other faculty member. It didn't have parking registration, so it probably was not a current student, cool though that would be.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

seen a race spec 911sc on the road

also seen a DB7 GT but would be hard getting a picture at 140mph

 

[opendriver]

Not really cars, but I saw 2 segway things yesterday.

First ones ive seen in person...

I saw quite a few Segways at Epcot in Disney a few years ago

Anyway, I saw a street rod today and a 300ZX. Not much really

It's unbelievable - truly five minutes after making this post, I saw this vehicle on campus:

September 11, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

You can even see the SLK55 in the shot!! And the plates? No surprise:

September 11, 2006 - Atlanta, Ga.

This vehicle was owned by a faculty member, unbelievably - he had a faculty parking permit.

 

[ND4SPD]

Nice pics!

Well since I luckily lived by a funeral home, I saw the beautiful Cadillac hearse they had out sitting in the driveway as I was driving past. The purple flags on the fenders really gives it that extra touch to it.

 

[tabs]

I really liked this Evo.

 

[GT4_Rule]

E39 M5.

Silver.

Lambo Gallardo Spyder
Skyline GT-R
Maserati Spyder (With 90th Anniversary bodykit and wheels, but can't be 90th Ann. cos it's not blue)
Ferrari 360M Red (No pic)
Aston V8 Vantage Yellow with black wheels (No pic)

Mercedes Benz S600, no chance of a photo as it pulled up alongside the bus on the slipway.
