alright, so the day starts off and i see a merc CL from the early 90's (cl500 i think) i still think its a beautiful car. then a nissan 350z. i get to the train stop outside my school and start the 10 min walk to school, see 2 911 turbos, some old school 30 year old 911, the 456 automatic, the 355 again. etc nothing too major...
AND THEN
i walk home from school, i take a look down one street to check for traffic and i see what looks like a le mans car. OMG lol so i took a walk down there and saw these guys were moving it from one garage to another.
now i've never talked to the owner of an amazing car before just because of the car, but this time round i couldn't resist... so i started off with "excuse me, but is that a porsche 956?" it turns out that it was a 962, worth about £100,000 but looked almost identical... the 956 is worth about 600-700k he said. the guy owns a showroom that sells them, he hadn't ever driven it himself. when asked if he'd start it, he said "no i dont think the neighbours would approve" haha.
after a few mins i left... £100k, pretty much the same as a 911 turbo, but oh so much more special.
i'll attach a pic, this one is black, the one i saw had racing colours on it (and was white). im afraid i don't have any pics of the actual car i saw since i dont have a camera with me always
edit:
forgot i saw a ferrari daytona and daytona spider (in a showroom).
and here's another pic of the 962 (looks almost exactly like what i saw):
edit2: i said 917, but i actually meant 956, all corrected now

The other day I saw a Carrera GT, in fact I see it all the time. A guy a few neighboorhoods down bought one. I think he is one of the first around here to get one. I'm sure I'll see more pop up though considering there are about 3 F50's, more then 20 360's, a few 550's that buzz around here.
And oh ya on saturday I saw the new little Bently and the guy had put some 22's on it. It looks bad ass.
But I see this stuff all the time considering I live in Oakland County which I think is the 3rd richest county in the United States.

-350Z. Not really special in itself, but it was that cool metallic orange colour and had very shiny BBS-y looking wheels.
-black C4 convertable. Usually I don't give C4s much more notice then anything half decent, but this one took off pretty snappy from the light it was at. Mmmm, pretty noises.

OK, so I'm at an ATM machine in a countryside town at 6:30am on Sunday morning bleary eyed and preparing myself for a hike. I hear some unusually loud engines approaching in the distance and think it's the usual GT-Rs or Lancers going for their early morning runs. Then it occurs to me that the last time I heard engines anything like this was at the Shanghai GP. Then it happens - my jaw lolls open as a white Porsche 996 GT3 RS drives by, then my jaw falls lower to the ground and I have to blink hard as another identical GT3 RS passes behind the first. Then I'm positively salivating as ANOTHER identical GT3 drives past. That's THREE 996 GT3 RS in as many seconds!
Now that would be enough to make the day of any red-blooded car fan, but oh no, the bloke upstairs obviously hasn't quite finished teasing me as on the bumper of the third GT3 is the source of that V12 symphony - a red Ferrari F50! Well now I am positively pinching myself to wake up, but it doesn't end there. On the tail of the Ferrari F50 is ... another one! Un-be-effing-lievable! That's three 996 GT3 RSs and two red Ferrari F50s in the time it takes for $200 to leave an ATM machine (which incidentally is still just sitting there) Well that was it, my best car-spot ever! Roll on next Sunday!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooosounds like it sounded great!
a gt3 RS is what i saw today. saw an S55 amg after that but it didnt really compare. before i came out of the station though i heard something go through the lights at more than 5000rpm, it sounded like a 6cyl, or 12cyl MAYBE... i thought i saw maybe the tail end of a CSL in the distance but i really can't be certain. i waited at the lights for the guy in the 996rs to move off but he moved off really slowly. and he was wearing sunglasses (on a rainy day), loser 👎
man i wish i could hear an F50 in real lifeBlazinXtreme
we're not car spotters though are we?
