Hottest on the block??

i don't wanna sound arrogant, but it just dawned on me that my red rocket is the most vibrant colored car on my block...but one guy has a new Vette, so im not the king of the block...but his Vette is that ugly Pewter Metallic...more brown than grey yuk!! but hey, a Vette's a Vette!!

everyone on the block knows im notorious for washing/Zaino'ing my car every week

what about u guys??? anyone here king/queen of your block???

There is a blue 67 vette up my street, but what takes the cake is my neighbors 64 cherry red thunderbird.

Guy up the road just bought a Lightining in Red; pretty sweet truck! Another guy has an old El Camino that is very fast.

Otherwise, I'm pretty high on the list.

King of the block

My neighbor across the street sure has alot of toys:
1 2001 vette convertible ~$50,000
2 2001 ford excursion ~ $35,000
3 his wife's toyota camry
4 2001 Harley Davidson ~$18,000
5 30 ft speedster boat ~ $30,000
he's married,apparently well to do, but no kids.
But the best toy in the block is my other neighbor's 302 Shelby Cobra reproduction-midnight blue. Want a 427 reproduction someday and a V8 NSX someday. My CL-S will do for now, until they come out with a 3.7 litre CL-S.
:P :P :P

This guy down the street has a ferrari, expedition and a Z3m(the one with 4 exhaust and M engine).
This guy 2 blocks away has 2 late model vettes, a boxster that his son drives and a STS that the wife drives.

But the best is my friend Luis's house. His saleen cobra, his sis's SLK and his bro's M3. Then if some of us goes over, you can add some bmws, a vette, my CL, etc.

Neighbor to the left - Hyundai Santa Fe...um...yeah
Neighbor to the right - late 90s Accord, black, well at least that's the color of the years of built up crud on it, early 90 Maxima, black, same as the Accord.

I live on the main drag in the development. Most of the people drive OK cars, but nothing beats my Silver TL. It glows at night it's got so much Zaino.

Yes I am the king of my block.

I definitely have the nicest car on my block right now. Since I have to park on the street, it shines like a freekin' diamond out there.

I'll be buying a house somewhere soon though so who knows what'll happen?

Well, I don't know about "king-of-the-block", but...

There is nothing like a round or two of Zaino'ing to get the other "locals" into washing their cars *and* pulling their wax and polish "kits" out after months of neglect.

Those “secret” pheromones emanating from a Zaino job causes the neighbors’ M3 and 530i to “morph” from “The Road Warrior” to “My Classic Car”

I run my block also, but within a 1 mile, even 1/2 mile radius there's some real badass rides. In the summer, I like trying to differenciate between the sound of the ferrari's and streetbikes as they blow by.

hehe wow...really?? That is great! I liked the naples gold color at the dealership. I wanted to get that deep metallic blue at first, but cleaning it would have been really hard...and I would rather not see all the scratches and stuff on it. I park in some pretty dangerous places sometimes hehe.

CoOl! You have the one with the navigation. I wanted to get that but they do not offer the service where I am from (Hawaii). Sniff sniff

I know nothing about cars..what kind of rims would you suggest?

I am probably king of my block.

There is a really nice yellow corvette nearby, but the guy has a car cover over it 95% of the time. I've lived here 2 years and I think i've seen it moved only 4-5 times. Whee.

There is a really nice black BMW near me, and it looks really hot when it is clean. (Which is maybe 1 day a month)

Yeah, where the fuck do you fuckers live? Jesus H. Christ. Must be nice to be white and in America. Just like Chris Rock says "being white in America is like always having 5 bucks, being black in America is like always being 5 bucks short."

BTW, my next door neighbor has a mitsubishi eclipse. The other neighbors have a Landrover Discovery and a Black CL.

At my penetration station we have a 1997 Honda Accord, 2001 Pontiac Grand Am POS, 1998 Acura CL and a 1999 Porsche Boxster.
