Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

Have not seen a thread but spending too much time at O'hare traveling, there are a lot of amazing cars parked there:

I parked a couple of spots over from this Ariel at O'hare a little while back.   roxor

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

Locally (in Lakewood) there's a blue Murcialago, then some dude who owns a 599, Enzo, and F430.  Also saw a Veryron going super fast on I-25S in Denver.



In Fort Collins...I've seen 1 NSX and that's it.  shifty

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

In Seattle you can see all kinds of random stuff.  On Sunday I saw a California.  Saw a Lambo parked at the mall last summer, maybe a Gallardo?
Couple of fun stories:
1 - This summer I met a friend at a bar downtown, walking in I saw a Ford GT parked outside so I took a pic with my phone, went inside and showed it to her.  Her response:  'Oh yeah that is my DD's... is it nice or something?'  Sure as shit, the guy pulls out the Ford Key Fob. eek  I guess he owned/owns some investment bank.  Later that night he drove his GF home in the brand new M3 he  bought her and left the GT downtown, street parking  facepalm
2 -  Though college I worked at a high end Golf club as a waiter/bar tender.  The people that were members there drove up in things like RS4's, C4S's, 365's, not a huge deal but one member had a way early SC430.  The only car that I ever really went bonkers over was a DB9.  This course was gated, secure, and very private so most the guys would park their expensive toys right out front, but this gem was tucked back almost hidden in the 'employee section.'  I wish I could find the pic but it was a few years ago now.  Such a sexy sexy sexy car.

You're not looking hard enough.  There's a yellow Lambo (can't remember the model) down the street from me and there are a few Bentleys and Lotuses (Loti?) running around, especially on nice days.

Also, where in FC are you?

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

I live in minivan / SUV land so don't see many cool cars on the road. Plenty of Porsches, BMWs etc but only a couple Ferraris and Lambos around.

The exception is of course Carlisle during show weeks. Those are mostly muscle cars though.

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

My neighbor has a 599, and that's an AWESOME car. I see Ferraris and Lamborghinis occasionally around here too. A white GT2 occasionally cruises around as well, and that is especially cool. My mom's friend had a Carrera GT, but he sold it.

I was at my friend's house the other day and he was showing me his neighbor's cars... we went to the door and asked to look at them. He has a GT2 convertible and a Gallardo Superleggera. Both are souped up with aftermarket exhausts, and carbon fiber accents/lips/spoilers/diffusers. The guy is a total deadhead though, and has grateful dead stickers and license plate  frames on them  shifty.

You need to play a little more Forza buddy.  facepalm

A GT2 convertible doesn't exist. That above is a Porsche 997 TT Convertible and regular Gallardo with Callisto wheels and Gallardo LP 560-4 front bumper.

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

In Chicago there are your standard Ferrari's, Lambo's, lots of Porsche's, R8's, GT-R's, they are pretty much all around. Especially nice days on the weekend on the Northside.  The weather tends to be lame around here so the nice Sunday's we have bring out some really really cool cars.  I love assorted '60's and early 70's cars I've seen and ran with on the weekends.

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

In my neighborhood, the most "exotic" cars there are one neighbors M-B E500, and my ur//S6. After that a couple of Saab 9-3's and my 9-2X.  That's pretty pathetic.

Hehe, this is true. I believe you, Bart, but how can you tell? If you look at the picture, you can see the Superleggera decal on the side, and I remember seeing that and making a mental note.. do you think he just put that on for the hell of it?

*Nevermind. I took a closer look, and thought the decal is in the style of the one on the Superleggera, it says "Lamborghini".
