Saw it this morning. When I came up to the light behind him, he started revving the engine and getting ready for the light to change. Once it did, he spun the tires and let the back end slip to the side a bit. It was glorious. I played along and kept up with him. Then we both were in the left turn lane to get on the expressway. The light was green but without an arrow, and he was able to speed up and and make a left before oncoming traffic came and I had to wait for it to clear until I could go. Otherwise, I would have gone right after him. Would have been fun just to try to keep up.

My first time seeing one on the road...





I saw all of these within about 30 minutes in Naples, Florida. I missed getting a picture of a Ferrari California and a modded GT-R. I passed an exotic car dealership and a red 599 GTO was sitting outside

I apologize for the absolutely horrid quality picture but neighbor had his whole arsenal parked outside tonight.

Those with good eyes will spot a yellow 458 Spider to the left, + silver California + lime green 640 Roadster + white MC Stradale. The Cayenne Turbo was discriminated and was on the street. :iwish:

Yea, it's a two car garage. The Murci and 458 do spend the night in often and the California, Cayenne and Stradale are parked outside most the time if not left at his office...also has some AMGs.

Are the thanks for the story or the pic? The car doesn't seem that special IMO.

Well, it's a brand new, $100K+, M5. I think it's pretty special.

I think people don't realize that the M5 is now in supercar territory as far as price goes.

Agreed, though I'm still partial to the E39.

Never driven any of them, but I think the E39 is one of the better looking ones, along with the F10 personally. Saw one this morning on the drive to work & couldn't snap a pic.

I suppose after seeing to F10s downtown, it just doesn't seem like it would stand out over many of the other cars in this thread that go without any thanks.
