I sent a request to a moderator to delete the above post. Here is the photo and the idiot who doesn't comprehend the meaning of a stop line. The line is back where the railroad signal is...he would be very close to getting hit by a train if one were to come through.

^happens all the time near here

There's no "pictures from the hotel room" thread so here goes.... I was 16 floors up but still very, very tempted to just go down there and oggle. A lime green Murcielago and a lime green Gallardo. Lamborghinis are the only car that can pull that color off, period. Feel free to prove me wrong with more car porn

One of the BMW test mules I see around Ventura/Oxnard all the time. This pic is like 8 months old and I think that's the new Z4.


I had some pics of a Carrera GT, Lambos, different model Skylines but they're not on my phone anymore =[

I like the Panamera for what it does, not what it looks like. Although the front is pretty nice.

Walked to dinner and this was sitting outside. Hard to tell in the dark but it is a huge ass RR. Really weird, passenger side front and rear running lights stayed on all through dinner. Is this some sort of feature to make it visible to other cars while paralleled parked?


edit - Supertrooper, your pics are bad ass. Guess I should keep my camera in the car instead of the iPhone. Granted yours would still kick my photos ass but...

Yea, dont get me wrong, I love ridiculously expensive cars but I don't get his one. It really isn't a good looking car, especially in two tone like the one I saw tonight

Edit - some how I missed you were talking about the Panamera, both awkward IMO

For example I like the Genesis coupe a lot especially in red, but the Lime Rock Green color is not flattering at all

^ Lol I actually really that color on the Gen Coupe. Different strokes for different folks I guess. It definitely doesn't fly under the radar though, that's for sure.

I actually thought it looked much better in person. If I had the money would I buy it? No, I'd still rock an AMG S63 over it any day of the week.

In SF it is difficult to own more than one car - lack of parking, expensive, etc. Add to that the fact that within 30 minutes in any direction you can do pretty much anything (mountain bike, road bike, surf, fish, hike, etc.) It is pretty common to see nicer cars with roof racks/tow hitches/trunk mounts with gear on them.

My dad used to have one of those. From what I remember it was a pretty fun car (although I was about 5 so I had zero perspective on anything).

^I don't get how they get the cars down if they are parked like that....

Is there a ramp or something I'm not seeing?

I think they pull up to some type of ramp with upper and lower levels and they drive it off.

So maybe it's something like those trucks that pull up against airplanes and the luggage goes up the conveyor belt? But the cars go down the ramp?
