Saw this at school (took the picture through the reflection on my side mirror). I just don't get why anyone would park an Aston Martin on the street in Newark.

My dream car(s) in high school was either a Toyota Supra TT, RX7, or 300ZX TT. Loved the Zs.

Yes please on the F-Type. I really like the new Z06 too.

Don't know how I would choose between the two.

I still have a hunch the F-Type is a money pit. Jaguar and resale don't go hand in hand.

My dad had a 98 XJR and it was more or less maintenance free. However, that was some time ago and I think his definitely was not the standard regarding ownership. I loved the car though.

I think it's widely scattered. A good friend of mine (forum member G) has had numerous issues over several models, including a lemon-law'd XK.

Stood out like a sore thumb.



Pretty clean E39. But are those "hot/burn" marks in the white reverse lights?

Saw a Countach this morning (barely saw it as it passed) not sure if it was real or a kit. Sounded nice & was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Didn't have time to grab a shot.

Ugh the things I would do for an E39 M5. Now I'm looking at them for sale online... ~50K miles = low $20Ks.

Interesting... it looks like a 997 Carrera, either S/4S or GTS?

But it looks modified. Rear bumper, side mirrors, and exhaust are different. Carrera normally does not have center exhaust. (911 GT3 only?)

Without a doubt it's a 997, but it's not a GT3, even though it has center mounted exhaust. It has the sport bumpers like a highly optioned Carrera S.

I'm stumped.

Wheels and suspension look modified, too. I'm thinking it's just a 997 Carrera S that is modified.

EDIT: Has clear tails, too.
