I found your story strange.

This car for me that is a GranSport, they are quite common here.
But it seems you are right, 3200GT, 4200GT to GranSport was an evolution.

The GranTurismo however was a replacement based on the Maserati Quattroporte V.

Yeah I managed to forget there was the 4200 also (that'll teach me to use Wiki), they all look pretty similar though, Nice cars, and all sound great. It was pretty much the rebirth of Maserati when they brought the first one out.

saw this today, it's a 1960-ish Citroen Ami, it was in excellent condition and i'm guessing that's pretty rare these days

Weirdly, I saw one of these for the first time just the other day, I would have a pic to prove if my phone camera didn't have like a one-second delay, so I got the car behind. It was matt grey, like the 2CV in GT5.
 
I noticed this Subaru SVX near my parents' place a while ago, and have just now gotten the opportunity to snap a pic of it. It might not have cost more than $20,000 new, but it's a rare car, especially in the US.

All those pictures are making me want to buy one. đź‘Ť I find them to be really interesting :D Found one on craigslist for $4800.

Spotted this E55 today.

I thought they were BBS LM's. Whatever, they look the same and those are just about the best wheels ever IMO. Completely perfect matched with that blue. The owner needs his hand shaken.
 
Could be either of the two, though it's the color making me think Work. Either way, nothing wrong with LM's or VS-XXs on the NSX.

Yes, I know Beetles are common in Mexico, but not so much in other places, so I took a pic of this one in front of my house so you could see one.

What's wrong with Work VS-XX wheels?

I was going to ask exactly the same thing, those wheels look amazing on the blue. WTF is up with people?

I think it's a dreadful look personally - one that completely devalues the look of the car. But then I'm in an aftermarket wheel hate-camp of my own - I think most of the time it's like taking off the dress shoes that came with your ÂŁ500 suit and throwing on some Nikes, so unless there's a practical reason for doing so (e.g you need a spare set for winter tyres or whatever) I can't see the appeal. If it's a Mk1 Golf or a Beetle or something that's been modified to the hilt in other departments then fair enough, I can see the aesthetic reasons for doing so; but on something like a completely unmodified NSX - a car that's not exactly common as muck to begin with - it's a horrible thing to do as far as I'm concerned.

I see a black NSX with what might be gold BBS LMs (I am not completely sure because the car is always in motion and heading in the opposite direction) nearly every morning on my way to work. The NSX is a fantastic car and the gold wheels compliment the car quite well. At some point I need to snap a picture of the car.

How do you know it's completely unmodified...?

Great spot! Wonderful car, completely devalued by the plate. Stay classy Hong Kong!
 
Oh, I didn't know Mobsteel was in Sema. The car looks to be driven a lot, which is cool knowing it's a show car. They have some pretty cool cars there, I want to go back and get better pictures of it.

Got a picture this morning.

 
Nice TR-5 spot, NISMO, I like the curious cars that educate me.

Picked a lousy day to have a dead battery in the camera, had to use my phone. From start to finish:

997 turbo? Funny story here, I was was pulling up it was a kid and his dad just getting in the the kid was putting his backpack into the trunk... which is of course where the engine would be for a normal car. Was very odd to watch somehow...:lol:
photo0079997turbo.jpg


kind of trespassed to get this one... parked on a side street and then ran back into this guy's driveway. but hell, if I have to work for my 2nd Ferrari, I don't mind. called out, received no answer, and proceeded with haste. 456?

It's the facelifted CL63 or CL65.
Though it doesn't really scream that it's Mercedes' most expensive model in America (:O), not counting the SLS.

And that Alpina B7 is absolutely gorgeous :drool:

I want, no, I need, no... I HAVE to go to the U.S. before I die. I'd get cardiac arrest if I saw that many awesome cars in a day here in Denmark.

Appreciate the lovely photos ;)

I've been hunting that car for months. I saw Rue post one and mentioned its rarity, then I saw one and had to get it.

I love the lenghts you go to, to get pictures of cars Jeff. They may be blurry and hard to tell, but dammit you got it. Where in Ohio are you? That's a pretty good mix of cars you always seem to find.

Well, this was just my phone, I've been using a $150 little digital camera recently, nothing great, but better than the phone...

And I'm on the east side of Cleveland. LOTS of money out here. East side has a ton or corporate HQ's near where I'm going for farmers markets and restaurant deliveries. I take my organic local produce to some high end places, so it's only natural that I'm seeing more of these cars. Half the photos I get though are in the same little village, Chagrin Falls. Just on the edge of the country, separated from the suburban sprawl by some daunting river valleys, blessed with a beautiful downtown waterfall and quaint 19th century village center, it's a mecca for the local wealthy on nice weekend days, and also can claim many wealthy residents of its own who are there all week.

Edit: and oh, the 5 on the end of 65 must have confused me, I didn't realize there was anything above 63... thanks for the correction!
