Rest assure, you will not see anything close to that just driving around on the streets in the US. It was probably out for a test/drill/whatever.

You have a better chance of seeing 3 supercars in one day than one of those just cruising around in the states. They're ridiculously expensive to run. And judging by the department it belongs to, you'll most likely only see that around the Mexican border, & nowhere else.

Well said. I'm guessing some big wig was coming to the base, or it was to be used in the holiday parade for Dr.MLK.
 
Some new Ferrari that looked like a 458.

I was using my phone as a dash cam at the time so I am trying to get the frames of it.
 
Couldn't find the best frames and since the dash cam is facing forward not at the opposing lane it didn't get a clear shot, didn't help that it was raining as well.
 
Nice! I remember when I saw my first (and only) 430 Scuderia. Me, my mom, and a friend of mine had just walked out of a resteraunt and I seen something low go by. I didn't really think to look but I decided to anyways and there it was; a silver Scuderia with black stripes! That was awesome.
 
Yet to see my first...:(

Anybody keep lists of cars they've spotted? Not sure if it would be thread appropriate to just post a list, but I'm curious what some of us mid-grade spotters have caught. No, Rue and Icy J, I don't what to hear like 27 Huayras 32 Veyrons, etc. More from folks who don't live in one of the spotting hotspots who've been trying for a year or two. To see how my spotting has compared I guess.
 
I just try to keep track of it in my head. Here's a small list, and not very specific.

458 - 2
Gallardo - About 9 or 10
Murcielago - 2 or 3
599 - 1
E Type - About 5 or 6
Ford GT - 5 or 6
Nissan GT-R - 4 or 5
Porsche 911 - approx. 675,000
Edit: gonna add some more
Ferrari F40 - 1
DeLorean - 15-20
Audi R8 - 4 I think (1 V8 3 V10) (the V8 was in Kentucky)
SLS AMG - 3 (1 in Kentucky)
Ferrari F430 - about 5
Ferrari 360 - 4 or 5
Maserati GranTurismo - 1 or 2
Maserati Quattroporte - 3 or 4
Rolls Royce Ghost - 1 (Kentucky)
Lancia Delta Intergrale - 1 (Cayman Islands)
Lamborghini Countach - 2 (1 in Kentucky)
Tesla Roadster - 2
Aston V8 Vantage - 3 or 4
Aston DBS - 1
Aston DB9 - 4 or 5
Bentley Continental GT - 8 or 9
Other Bentleys - 5
Audi TTRS - 2

Some of those may seem normalish but aren't here. The bad thing about most of those is that I wasn't able to get a pic or I got a pic and it was too blurry.


Just a small list, really tired and can't really think much :lol:

I live in a remote village far away from the more rich cities in Belgium.

1 Phantom, I would never think it's so gigantic

Maserati Gran Turismo - 6-8, one MC Stradale recently!
A few Quattroportes
Ferrari 360: 3 or 4
430 Scuderia - 3, two in the wild (quite possible I've seen one of those two times)

Aston DB9 - 3
1 V8 Vantage
1 DBS (Volante)
Porsches:
different 911s - around 1397256169
356 - 1, a perfectly preserved Carrera!!!!!!! :drool:
1 NSX
Audi RS4 (Saloon) - 2. One of the best manufacturer-tuned cars ever made
RS6 '08 - 3 or 4 Avants
Lots and lots of different AMGs, including CL55, CLS63 (new, today!), CL63, E63 (different years), a few S55, C63 Black!
One Nissan Juke-R, and a Juke by Nismo (still as a concept car!!!)

But, claims are still only claims, unfortunately ;)
 
didn't know what it was that made it good (I mean, a Juke, good?) until I looked it up... but wow! A Juke tuned to GT-R specs?!? Crazy!
 
Here's my list, qualified by cars I wouldn't unreasonably expect to spot, but haven't yet!

Ferrari 412 x2

Aston Martin Vanquish
Maserati Quattroporte
Bugatti Veyron (perhaps a tall order but must be a few around now)

I know, right?!

What's more, it looks just breathtaking in person. And believe me, I honestly think Juke looks more disgusting even than 2008 Honda Civic (whose brand new 2012 version looks pretty neat-ish IMO). More than that, the Nismo version also looks awesome!

I think this is what the basic Juke is missing, some slight touch of sportiness to it makes it looks fantastic!
