went for a walk today... a lot of these were all within 30 minutes on Robson Street, Downtown Vancouver. It's funny because I kept seeing the same cars, these people were just cruising... I did that when I was in high school























I usually don't bother taking pics of the M/// 's and AMG's because they are a dime a dozen around here... but this one was pretty nice... had a really nice exhaust note

I love that Deep Blue Pearl on the new GT-Rs; beautiful color.


But, totally overshadowed by that 550 Spyder.

ooh... good eye. Yeah, the M6 guy was such a douche... he gun'd it, revving his engine as he drove by and almost ran into a taxi pulling out of an alley. That would've been awesome, because it would have been right in front of me (well, across the street ). What I missed was an awesome Maserati Quattroporte just before that... It wasn't stock, and the exhaust note was heavenly

This one went for $3.685 million

I've seen replicas go for around $30k though.

It's more than likely a replica (originals should be sitting in museums at this point). I don't care though, it appears to be VERY well done.

My friend's 2012 Black Edition GTR. Amuse bits all over. Exhaust sounds sick. Sorry for the blurry shots, it's was really dark.

Swung by the Discount Tire near my office today to discuss my next tire purchase; this insanely clean 1940 Studebaker Custom had just come out with a fresh set of treads:



On the way back into my office complex, I snapped this pic of the nearby doctor's car (he drives a different car that I would kill for all the time...Bentley, the 458, California, etc.). Just some context on the license plate - in AZ we pay a license tax that is a percentage of the FMV of the car; hence the "XPSVPL8" joke:

Sorry...I didn't stop on my way back in today. I think it was a 996; you wouldn't like it, anyway.
