Dude watermark those beotches and send them to a car mag. I'm sure they'd love to use them and you'll get credit for them before someone steals them and sends them without you getting credit.

How can they say "no pictures"? They're in a public place and so are you. It's not like you're invading someone's privacy. Geesh.

Holy mother of god

You should have put the watermark across the car itself, its too easy for a website/car mag to crop your name out.

Hate to say it, but I don't think I've ever been so giddy over a car. After the huge disappointment of not getting pictures at the gas station to then see four 918 Spyder's was incredible. I gave the guy in the first car a for letting me snap a pic, and he waved, I just wish I had the window down so there wouldn't be glare and I could hear the damn thing.

I asked, which was my fatal flaw. The guy gave me bad looks for saying how awesome I thought the car was...

Its their job to not only test the vehicle, but do everything in their power to keep people from checking it out/taking pics.

Theyre never successful.

Given the lack of camo, and the race car livery attached to each one, I'm thinking any effort to keep people from checking out the cars would be rather fruitless...to put it mildly.

Absolutely. The flip side to them trying to hide it is that they actually get free press out of it. If they removed the livery and just had them in a solid color, most people wouldnt look twice. But when they see a camo/livery, it catches their attention.

Either way, the car companies love it.

I don't even know what car this is... A4 or A8?

I think it's an S4 - but why does it say V8T???? I thought it was V6T...

Size makes me think it's an S6.

This is one thing I don't like about the big 3 Euro brands design language - the family resemblance is too much at times.

Definitely a 6er. I was talking to my friend about this earlier.

An $50k A4 can be mistaken for a $100k A8. Even a Jetta on quick glance looks like an A4. Audi has always been like that IMO, and its unfortunate that other companies are following the same path, mistaking lazy design for "brand identity".

The guy who parks there is some kind of securities broker. This is the third exotic I've seen him park there in the last year (he daily drives them). First, it was a white 458, then it was a white Gallardo vert, now the white MP4-12C. I think he likes white.

Saw a couple of the tesla sedans the other day. All my pictures turned out pretty shitty.

This was today - not a huge fan of white

They're putting one in at the Garden State Plaza here in NJ. Maybe I'll have to go check it out since Paramus is only a 5 minute drive from my house
