I have a 23+ mile commute. Only have seen one sweet car in the last few months: GT-R.

So far I have seen about six GT-Rs on the road, one black, two reds, three whites I think. What an amazing car, I just want to get an Autoart 1:18 diecast model of it asap.

I have a black one in 1:18 scale by Jada Toys. Love it. Especially since it's the only GT-R my S2000 could leave in the dust.

The GT-R has such road presence when seen in person. I liked it a lot. Only had they offered it in manual



It could've been a lighter car with more MPG (maybe smaller engine) and much more fun than pressing buttons.

there in lies the rub.
by the time we are able to afford these cars, we may be too old to really enjoy them.
Knowing this, your goal should be to stay in good shape so you CAN enjoy the exotic rides of the future.

back in my college days when i used to commute 42 miles one way to school (next to beverly hills), seeing exotics/cool cars always makes my day...too bad the traffic in socal is always so dense so never had a chance to play

one time way back in the days in my mr2 turbo some lady went WOT in her cl55 amg once the freeway opened though...let's just say my poor mr2 got dusted

Ahhhh Beverly Hills. My brother lives in west Hollywood. I LOVE visiting him. I just grab my camera and walk around. Most of the time I can look out of his sliding glass door and see something cool. Black 360 spider, black rims, lowered....so sexy... McLaren SLR drove down his block quite fast like and got on the brakes and I saw the rear air brake pop up...man those things RUMBLE. In the parking garage below there is typically an Audi R8, a tampered with F430, Kim Kardashian's black Bentley, A Rolls that takes up two spots length-wise, and a handful of other goodies.

What I love about places like this are the contradictions: Maserati sedan next to their Prius, etc. hah.

Watch those curbs!


Just a few blocks from my brother's house near Rodeo Drive, was NOT expecting to see an Alfa 8C. That made my trip:


And I'll end here with a murder'd out Rolls.

The best looking car I've ever seen in person was a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 coupe in West L.A. On the same day, I saw more Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Maseratis, Benz AMGs, Bimmer M-series, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces than I would've liked to see.
I like taking pics of rare cars every now and then. In fact, I even made a thread dedicated to my hobby in the "S2000 Pictures" sub-forum.
Whoring done.
