when i used to work at a campus type location where everyone drove to work, i used to just see regular cars... even the COO who was VP of the company drove an A6... i saw 1 GT-R and 1 Z that were driven by younger IT guys... and that was about it...

Many people I know, especially owners of their own companies, never drive their exotics to work. Many of their employees don't even know about their toys. "Bastard is driving an XXX and can't give me a raise" type of thing.
There are exceptions to every rule as well. I have a doctor friend that DD his 360 spyder. He works insane hours and has 5 kids. If he didn't drive it to work, he never would drive it. He lets his employees drive it, just about anyone who asks. Awesome guy.

He's taking flight lessons to start flying the plane he bought a little while back. You might spot him next time in a 16M or Carrera GT.

Damn that LP560 is just beautiful... from what I can see.

I just got my HTC Evo. If any other "interesting" cars make an appearance I'll do my best to get better pics
The ceramic brakes make my pants tight.

I've posted these before in the "Pictures From The Driver's Seat" thread, but I figured this would be a more appropriate place to put them. I valet for various restaurants around the Raleigh area every weekend.
I left the valet stand to park another car and when I came back, this was parked in the lane:
The same guy pulled up in this black ZR1 two Thursdays in a row. He took the keys with him and threw me $20...
The 3rd time he parks in my valet lane, he pulls up in a white ZR1:
I ask "wait don't you usually drive a black one?", he replies, "I have both". He parked with me last week and had the white one again. He told me that he just traded in the black ZR1 for something faster and Italian. He wouldn't tell me exactly what he got.
The sound this thing makes is amazing:
Wasn't able to drive this, but I got to drool over it for a few hours:
I had a chance to drive this around for about 10 minutes. I can't even begin to describe how awesome this car is:

I was behind a red F430 this morning going to work. The exhaust is intoxicating
One of my best friends traded in an R8 (after only 6 months) for a black California. I asked him why the f-ck he didn't wait for the Italia
IDK, IMO the California is somewhat effeminate, like the SL550?!? I see a hawt cougar driving it, not my plastic surgeon friend hehe.
Keep the valet shots coming, it's inspiration for me to see more patients!

I had an orange Murcielago come in a few weeks back but I was too busy to get a picture

Need pics of Murci ASAP! Do you like the orange? I'm pretty conservative with my colors and would only be able to rock a lime green or orange whip if it's Lambo. The Gallardo is so beautiful it looks good in pretty much any color scheme.

I would drive a Lambo no matter what the color is. Ideally I would love to have a lime green LP640 with black wheels.

I'll have to ask someone to send me a picture of the Murci. Honestly it was an ugly shade of orange. It looked like the packet of cheese powder that you get with Easy Mac

Wow, you guys are lucky. Where I work I'm probably in the bottom 5% salary yet I have one of the nicest cars. There are over 200 people at the main office and the only cars that stand out are a newer Carrera, Cayman, a couple old English cars that I can't identicy and a Lotus. Not sure if you would count a new 7 series or not. For the first year I had the only TL but I'm starting to see more now all owned by chicks. I took the GN once and got dirty looks, I guess it was too loud for thier fragile ears.
I drove my friends CL65AMG to work for a few days when the TL was in the shop and it stood out pretty bad.

I get to work yesterday and these are parked near my valet spots:
Then I walk up to the valet stand and see this parked in the lane:
Looks like a GT3 but it's a regular Carrera with the GT3 appearance package. My night from there on out was uneventful. I drove a 2008 Jaguar XJR and wasn't impressed whatsoever. I'm hoping I'll get the chance to drive the newly redesigned 7-series or Jaguar XJ sometime soon.
I wasn't able to get a picture but a white Phantom drove past my stand headed towards a high-end sushi restaurant. A few minutes after it passed, a white Maybach 57 and a black Rolls Royce Ghost drove by.

I was parking a Mercedes-Benz GL550 last night when I saw this old school Bronco with baby seats in the back seat:
I got to drive a sexy white on black M3. White on black with aftermarket exhaust. The owner handed me the key and said "have fun":
This Jaguar XKR had 350 miles on the odometer when I parked it:
I've fallen in love with the Lexus LS460L. I drive a few each night and I can't get enough of them.

Shit I meant to type Blazer. The picture doesn't give this truck any justice. It was extremely clean.
