Customer just traded in his 458 for this - I wasn't a part of the transaction though, unfortunately

Another dude just got this:






The other cars in the background are also his...And he has an Elise too




He puts some serious miles on his Lambo's, I'm told about 20,000 miles/year. He drives them daily...He's also participated in Bullrun and Gumball Rallies too...The guy with the Spyker won Bullrun last year. These guys know how to have a good time...

It's nice to hear about people that have exotic cars and actually drive them.

While Wikipedia isn't the best source, it says only 4 Nero Daytona (black) F50s were made.
The thing with F50s though is that a lot are repainted. There was a Rosso Corsa one that was repainted Azzurro California (same color as the 599 above). It became an exceptionally rare & infamous car in the Ferrari community & I felt very blessed to have gotten to see it twice & as my first F50 ever when I was much younger. However, word was that Nicolas Cage bought the car & repainted it back to red, and now it has changed hands to someone else.

Wow, I would NEVER think about painting a F50, let alone any Ferrari. That's nuts.

Risi? is that the name of the owner? Dont know too much about MC12. All i know is that its a pure race car, probably not street legal. has a date of 2005. they've had it for a while

I like the Spyker but I agree, I wouldn't have gotten rid of the Lambo. Especially since it was a Superleggara.

I know, I've met him a few times...Nice guy, but quite wild!

I took these pics at the last Rally I saw him at, this is his Gallardo:

He told me that he wasn't looking for a similar vehicle to the SL he had performance-wise, he just wanted something "different". I haven't seen it in person yet, I keep missing the GTG's they keep organizing. I just got an email about another mini rally tomorrow morning but I don't know if I'll be able to make it. Maybe next time..

The Spyker is different to say the least. If that was his goal, he did well.

It's all measly iPhone pics, but hey, it's better than nothing!

These are all from the Dallas Cars & Coffee show this morning.

Fisker Karma


Bentley Continental Supersports


Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Cabrio


Personally, I think the color on the SLS is awful and I don't really get the cabrio version....the whole appeal of the SLS are the gullwing doors.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the Fisker Karma. Every time I see the front, it reminds me of this:






and no, just no. Not FTMFW, it's FTMFL.

There's an orange one around town, but I'm always too slow with the cell phone to get a good pic of it

the stupid M.Benz backed up to park right as I was snapping the pic

pardon the quality, took the pic with my Treo in 2007... you may have seen it somewhere on AZ, or you may not have seen it.

Awesome. I wasn't a member of AZ back in 2007 so I'm not sure what you're referring to

Saw a weird Karma electric car in LA this weekend. Came here to post pic I had my gf snap with my camera phone. Realized she didn't know how to take a picture.
