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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
