Default Nice cars at the work place?

suvh8r's 3 Sti's thread got me thinking. I work in an office with 600+ employees and the parking lot is a sea of boring cars/trucks/suv's. The only ones here that I consider nice are a Z06 and 2 S2000's(mine and a Spa). We three always park next to each other in the far reaches of the lot. Is it me or do we have a disproportionate number of nice cars here? Tell us what's in the lot where you work.

I'm in the military so we have people with a variety of backgrounds, which in turn, makes for a variety of cars in the parking lot. Sport compacts, trucks, old, new, foriegn, domestic, junk, nice, you name it, it's out there. One of the guys I work with has a turbocharged Civic and one of the girls I work with has an Evo.

Haha.... I work at a large internet provider... ok, ok... THE largest internet provider (at least in terms of dialup clients).

Anyway, the parking lot is a sea of expensive cars... although the "tricked out" rides are few.

I think I've seen 3 or 4 STi's, 2 EVO's, a few BMW M3's (including one with ultra expensive Hamman wheels), an M5 or two, all kinds of "lesser" BMW's, a corvette or 10, a few random mercedes/jags, etc, that I'm sure or expensive, but don't look terribly exciting.

There's a wide disparity between cars... plenty of beaters

I work at a medium-sized tech company and there's a bunch of neat cars...

There's at least one 911 Turbo, GT2, 550 Maranello, 360 Modena convertible, and a few Cayenne's and Ferrari 355's. Those mostly belong to the execs, although a few belong to engineers. The CEO is pretty damn rich and drives a bunch of different cars, including several Ferrari's.

The rest of the company tends to have decent cars as well, but not as flashy. There are 4-5 S2000's, including mine, and a whole crapload of WRX's. The other sports cars run the whole range - STi, Z06, M3, M5, Mustang Cobra, NSX, various AMG cars, etc.

Never seen any Evo's or Lambo's around, though.

Well, here we have 2 S2k's, a couple Escalades with dubs, a CL55, a 360 Modena, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, a few 911s, an Infiniti G35C, one or two 350Zs, an STI, there used to be an NSX, a Maserati, several 3-series, a couple S-classes....

There's a decent assortment where I'm at.

I work in a medical office building so I see some pretty cool cars, but nothing exotic yet. Coolest I've seen is probably one of our doctor's BMW Z8 that he has taken on the Gumball and One Lap of America, at least according to my boss.
