I was taking a drive in my Pontiac Fiero GT and saw my first Pontiac Solstice. Snapped a picture while doing 90 trying to catch up.


Anyway, it inspired me to take a trip to my favorite place. Its not every day Im up and out this time of day.

Aston Martin DB9


Aston Martin DB9 Volante


Aston Martin Vanquish

Aston Martin Vanquish S


Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale


Ferrari 360


Bently Flying Spur


Lamborghini Diablo VT


Lamborghini Murcielago


Lamborghini Gallardo (Green)


Lamborghini Gallardo (Orange)


McLaren F1

http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36664

Ford GT


Lotus Elise (Red)


Lotus Elise (White)


I had a nice talk with this one British salesman about the F50 and F1. He said he loves them both but if he could have any car there it would be the F50. He said it just felt more fun when driving. Must be the wind in the hair i told him He also told me the McLaren was the only yellow one in the world.

Great bunch of cars, man!!!

The DB9 looks really good in that color, but the Vanquish is a bit weird. Maybe because I'd never seen one in a color like that....

That Gallardo is maybe the worst looking one I've ever seen I think that color is horrible in every car

Such a nice dealer! The blue Vanquish is great! Too bad the S has quite a boring color though! I'd rather have the opposite

The lime green Gallardo is always sexy to see! And nice white Elise, but those weird US spec turning lights installed on the wheel arches are a pain in the ass

The one I picked for the next contest:


You don't go easy on the "save as" from 600 to almost 900 for a 1024 picture is a bit of a pain.. actually only because imageshack is pretty slow here lately

BTW, pictures taken on the road in the US, always make me dream,

Although almost every car looks awesome such as the white Elise (actually this is the first elise that I see white), the blue vanquish, or the 360CS, IMO the best looking car is the black diablo (apart from the red its my favourite car); nonetheless I prefer if the car was the rear wheel drive one
