That is really nice...and i don't even like pickup trucks. It's so chic and smooth. A luxury car in disguise!

degrawj 03-07-2005 04:52 PM

well, i don't know how "rare" this car would be considered, but i'd never seen one before (probably because it was brand spankin' new). it was a BMW 640 CI. i didn't even know that BMW had brought back the six series. it looked freakin' AWESOME! like, sick awesome!! i almost want one. but alas, the two door thing.

Only 10K? I saw two every day in LA.

Wow, is that the same bodykit as the Callaway Sledgehammer?

choskins 03-14-2005 07:48 PM

Yes. It is a Callaway aero body kit on a 1996 Gran Sport. In addition, the LT4 motor is stroked by Callaway. It is a 383 Supernatural.

greeneyes 03-14-2005 08:33 PM

A while back I drove past a VW Phaeton, in the middle of Indiana no less. Maybe not a "cool" car, but still rare nonetheless.

Those are still pretty rare. I didn't even know that the 350 model was done yet.

wrongfullyaccuzd 03-15-2005 11:09 AM

OK so they're not the rarest cars ever, but I was walking by this neighborhood near Embassy Row and I saw a Rolls so I ran over to look at it, and I saw some beauties in the same lot. Obviously these aren't my pictures, my camera was dead! I'm going to go back ASAP though and take my own, and I will repost.

DELETED PICTURES

Like I said I will return with my own pics soon! If I don't get yelled at or arrested :(

See long ass post below for update.

Halx 03-15-2005 11:20 AM

OMG.. YOU BETTER!!

Hehe...

Was walking in the Upper East Side of Manhattan yesterday and I came across a nice Bentley Arnage.

BadNick 03-16-2005 01:53 PM

I'm not sure how rare this Bentley model is, but one of my neighbors has one and I don't recall seeing another one in person; it's a fastback coupe from the mid to late '50's:

BadNick 03-16-2005 01:56 PM

ahhh, sorry for wasting bandwidth

Now that I look at it, that model is nowhere near as nice and proportioned as my neighbor's car. I'll see if I can find a better pic of a Bentley fastback coupe like he has, it's pretty cool looking ...to me

Halx 03-16-2005 02:29 PM

Was on the Upper East Side again today.. this time saw a Maybach 62.

wrongfullyaccuzd 04-01-2005 12:24 PM

update
 
OK so a couple weeks ago I said I have found a neighborhood that had some nice cars in it and I would return to take some of my own pictures. Well, today I did. And then...I saw something else in front of a hotel. These are just some of the pictures, to see the rest, go here.

Mr Mephisto

Fuck the car, I want to know how you ended up getting a ride from Bono.

bodypainter 04-02-2005 07:09 AM

I don't know the model, but I saw a new Bentley coupe with dealer tags rolling down the road yesterday. Silver, swoopy, looked expensive.

Damn
 
There is a body shop in the town i work in, in rural kentucky, where everybody has to bring their exotics and have the worked on. Only exotic shop in the area. I need to take a camera to work, i always see cobras and panteras in the lot. the other day i saw a esprit tt, it was so bad :thumbsup: ass

nonkem 04-12-2005 12:59 PM

Today I was going down the road and a Ferrari 512 passed me. They're not that rare, but in this hick farming community that I'm in, you hardly ever see anything like that.

Cynthetiq 04-12-2005 01:02 PM

yesterday on the drive from the Holland Tunnel to Canal Street, I saw, a bentley coupe, a lambo gallardo, and a ferrari testarossa cabriolet, all within blocks of each other.

Halx 04-12-2005 11:59 PM

Saw this baby on the upper west side on Sunday...

99 Plymouth Prowler

twilightfoix 04-26-2005 11:10 AM

ok, i need to take a pic of this bentley dealership down the road from me, it has every high-priced, high-performance, high-luxury car on the market minus 2, the Enzo and the Merc SLR. They got the Continental GT, Austin Martin's, Phantom, Ferrari, and Lotus. Just sitting out front for everyone to see, and drool over.

Martian 04-29-2005 11:07 PM

And here we have the story of the best day of my life.

I was visiting my girl down in Detroit and she took me to her favourite mall. It's in a part of the city she informed me is populated by 'noveau riche', which is apparently the french term for people who spend more money than I've made in my life up to this point on their cars. In one day, I saw a Bentley Arnage, a Maserati coupe (!), a Maybach, two Lamborghinis (one Gallardo, one Diablo), a BMW Z8, a Z3 and probably two or three dozen less rare cars (Mustang GT's and the like). The Maserati was the best; the look on the valet's face as he was getting into it was priceless. I turned to her on the spot and said 'I'm moving down here. I want to valet at this mall.'

I want to find an International CXT. I'd never drive one, I just want to see it, because I think that's the sort of truck you have to see to believe.

itch vaccine 04-30-2005 06:40 AM

Saw a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Ferrari 360 Modena driving together on a busy street in Kuala Lumpur near Shangri-La

One was yellow (the lambo of course), and the other was red. :)

brandon11983 05-01-2005 05:20 PM

I saw a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren earlier today. It was the first one I ever saw on the street.

IanSturgill 05-03-2005 06:36 AM

Me and Tspikes51 saw a vintage delorean in a lot on campus yesterday, we didn't have a camera so no pics, that thing was sweet.

Cumbaby 05-05-2005 02:51 PM

I saw a Nash Metropolitain, does that count?

Cynthetiq 06-10-2005 06:34 AM

yesterday I saw a Bentley Coupe in metallic blue, and also a yellow Lambo Gallardo.

I also forgot last month on 42nd Street I saw an old 60something Shelby Mustang.

ElwoodBlues 06-10-2005 11:45 AM

I was driving around with a buddy of mine on monday and one of these passed us by...

Donald Trump just had one delivered to his apt the other day.... I didn't get to see it delivered but I'm surprised I haven't seen it on any blogs.

pinball 06-14-2005 05:44 PM

Can't believe I spelt Mclaren wrong. sorry.

/was tired

Cycler 06-14-2005 11:00 PM

You should head on over to Popular Mechanics, and read Jay Leno's review of the International. It's not the same as being thee, but it's pretty damn funny!

Sorry, on work computer, so no linky...

kajagoogoo 06-21-2005 03:59 PM

Linky for you.

Ilow 06-21-2005 04:28 PM

that Leno piece is great.

kajagoogoo 06-21-2005 06:18 PM

You should read the rest of the stuff....not bad at all.

Especially the stuff about the steam and electric cars.
