Default Trip to the States - Porsches, Z8's, Bentley, RR...

first of all - the trip was amazing!

I spent 2 weeks and rode 2 thousand miles between L.A., Las Vegas, Tahoe, Sacramento and San Francisco

I left Brazil on 04/03 and only got back on 20/03

the sad facts: I went with my parents, flew about 30 hours with American Airlines (this is bad) on economy (now this is really bad), spent some 3 hours on those airport security checks :x and the most important: I wasn't able to take a single shot of any Ferrari or Lambo ops:


nevermind... let's go to the pics


beginning with a Boxster and a Z4, two common sights in L.A. - first day with the camera tells something about the quality of the pics




S500 in Hollywood with some Lorinser aftermarket parts



Bentley Arnage, brand new 911 and BMW Z8, all together in Beverly Hills, close to Rodeo Drive



a little stop to show our truck from hertz, a 2004 Ford Expedition... pretty good to travel 2 k miles and carry 4 people plus 14 bags...



Subaru in the staples center parking lot, this day was Lakers 103 x Pacers 94



beautiful C3 Corvette, dunno the year, and a 911 turbo


wow your civic looks so beautiful!


bye bye Los Angeles, this is my last picture there:




and what do I first see when I get to Vegas? a RR Phantom, and I guess I have already seen this car here in JW...



these 300 are almost everywhere, but I like them... and a nissan with ugly rims IMO



a Hummer H1, probably used on trips to the grand canyon, and a 150.000 USD MTT turbine bike - this baby can reach 227 mph / 360 kmh




time to go on to Tahoe... but the small city of Bishop surprises me with a couple of nice sightings:





Mustang waiting for me in the parking lot of my hotel in Tahoe:



and a beautiful blue Porsche parked in front of the casino:



Sacramento - one hemi for you:



lol at the spare rim, got this one on an outlet near Napa:



the only Crossfire I could try to take a pic... and u guys learn how to drive in a Mustang? :shock: we here get some 10 years old GM Corsas...



and last but not least, another Z8 in San Francisco near Fisherman's Wharf:



unfortunatelly I saw only four Ferraris - one F456, one F550, one F355 and a beautiful 365 GTB exactly like this one (maybe it was this one): http://www.ferraris-online.com/cars/...229/main.shtml

Lamborghinis? Only inside a dealer in Beverly Hills...


folks, this was my first trip report... it was so nice to take pictures of all the nice cars I could, surely I will do it again on my next trip

please send comments about the pics, what I could have done better, etc. all advice is welcome...
