Saw a Maybach today...

At school of all places - sitting in one of the staff parking lots was a Maybach 57. The car is NICE. Silver/gray exterior, tan interior. Brake discs the size of my wheels (14.8" really, dual calipers ). Of course, with a curb weight of over 6000lbs(!) I think they are justified. Someone had put an orange cone at each corner hehe - I guees they were part of some magical force field that would protect the car from dings? I know some of you guys see these every day, but they are quite rare around here.

If it's there tomorrow, I'll snap some pics for you guys. Three Doors Down is playing at our arena tomorrow night, I'm going to cruise over there with my camera tmw, talk with the crew some.

Ive seen 3.

1) at the LA auto show
2) Joel Silver's at a seminar I was filming
3) one going north on the 101.

It is one hell of a car on the inside. the rear exterior styling looks dated, very much like the last gen S-class. has that reflector that goes all the way across the back.

The one i saw on the 101 was flying. it was playing in traffic with a prowler.

I havent seen the Maybach yet either, but i did see 3 Enzo's so far, 2 at car shows, and one darting through traffic right by my apt. It was coming the other way, and damn near broke my neck when it drove past me. Another cool car i saw recently was a DeLorean, but i dont know if it had the optional flux capacitor.

Damn a Maybach parked at your school. Does it belong to some hot teacher?

It was probably a speaker for the College of Business, which was where it was parked close to. Same lot the Dean parks in, but he drives a Cayenne.

Wasn't there today, so no pics. Makes sense w/ the story above tho.

It had local tags, and noone around here rents cars like that. You'd have to take a trip to Atlanta or Nashville (both ~2hrs away).
