I don't have a picture of it but oh well sorry I don't bring my camera everywhere I drive because honestly it's very rare I see anything good around here(or at least warranting to bring my camera everywhere). I'm proud to say though i've finally seen a Nissan GTR it was black with gunmetal gray wheels. Oddly enough when I told my brother in law last night about it he may know who owns it.

I met a guy last night with a black 850 bhp Supra with $100k of modifications (god knows how), although it did go like do-do off a shovel. His mates had a silver Ferrari Dino, two Gallardos, a F430 and a Koenigsegg between them, unfortnately they were all drinking so didn't bring the cars. I got his number and asked him if any of them would be keen in a photoshoot, but I was rather the worse for ale and feel I may have scared him somewhat with my over-enthusiasm.

Glanza-V resize your photos before you post them, especially if they are that crappy. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at since the car you posted looks like a Celica.

From the past couple days:

Improperly parked Conti GT in a handicapped spot.

A Porsche 911, not sure on the model though.
IMG_2126.jpg


Subaru Baja, pretty damn rare around here.
IMG_2127.jpg


First Evo X I've seen.
IMG_2128.jpg


Lexus ISF, for some reason everytime I try to photograph this car the picture blurs.

XLR-V, when you are trying to make the statement you overpaid for a car.

Carrera 4S

SL65 AMG, another car which you pay way to much for.

SPOT OF THE DAY!

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, came out of REI and saw it. At first I gave a "what the hell" and upon closer investigation it appears it was a Skyline. The guy and his wife gave me a thumbs up as they drove off. Pretty neat car to see in person.

Your unidentified porsche appears to be a legit 997 GT3.
Your Carrera 4S is in fact, just an S.
I think the reason the SL65 costs so much is because it has 600bhp....
The R34 is very cool though, even if it is a somewhat common car some places. Ive never seen one myself. :(
 
Thanks for the info bondy.

Bentley Arnage

Plymouth Superbird although I don't know how legit it is. I don't like these cars at all but I know some do.

I'm more curious how he got it plated and insured in Michigan.

Saw this one a year ago:

skyline_gtr-100707-8.jpg


South Carolina plates, fully legal. Probably a Motorex importation back when they were in business. We decided when I saw that one there are probably fewer than 20 in the USA. Incredible spot Joey
 
Today I saw a sweet, clean, stock, R34 GT-R in Silver... quite common here compared to the US.

Also, I found another auto dealer near my new school, it's simply amazing what was in a small shop window. Inside was a few Ferrari 550s, 2 Ferrari F430s, 2 360s (One scuderia one normal), a Ferrari 250 (I think...), 4 old 911s, heaps of newer 911s, a Cayenne, and I think a F355 (too hard to see). Also I saw on road, 2 Bentley Continental GTs, Aston DB9, Ferrari 612, Ferrari F430 Spider and heaps of M5s, SL55s, 911s, Boxters etc. Also went past the Lambo dealer again, saw the usual 3 Gallardos. Pics to come when my phone decides to work.

I have a strong feeling there's more than 20 GT-Rs in the US, unless you're specifically talking about R34 numbers.
After visiting H.I.N., tonight, there were at least 6-7 Texas-registered Skylines there.
 
I know that M3, it was at the PGH Vintage Grand Prix, dude's wife owns a red E30 M3. And the Buick, my neighbor had one, he bought it used and drove it for 75000 miles, then gave it to his kid. Real fun field beater.

Sorry - I meant R34s only. In fact the one I saw was even a V-Spec!

You're likely thinking of the coupe which was much more common. The convertible not so much.

What the...? Is it just me, but doesn't the car look a BIT distorted?

That's probably the point of this picture though. ^^

Has someone crashed to the left side of it or is it just the shadows and lighting wich make it look like that?

Which car? Noone crashed :confused:
 
It looks really distorted in that picture though, almost like it was hit on the driver side, which is what he was talking about.

Pretty sure if it was hit in the drivers side you would see a HUGE dent in it and it would be pretty obvious as that is the side the camera is pointing at.
 
I saw this today:

12102008033.jpg


First one I've seen, though I've seen a number of the Phantom saloon. Hell of a presence to it and it was attracting a number of glances from cyclists, people having lunch at the restaurant out of shot etc.

Read what I'm saying. I said the picture makes it look like it was hit on the driver's side. Not that it was hit on the driver's side. The camera distorted the photograph to make it look like the car is driving on a bent frame. I'm not stupid, I realise a car would have a dent in the side if it got hit :rolleyes:.
