I’m repeating myself, but I love the 430. I wish the scuderia had a 6mt.

I actually really like the Roma, I think it looks cool. Bet it won't hold value super well in the long term though so that makes it a fun thought exercise.

does the Roma have every button as capacitive, including steering wheel or when did the madness start?

I think so. It might have started with the Roma? Or maybe the SF90, don't know but they're all going in that direction now.

I started this thread so I can do as I please. But after some deep introspective analysis, I've decided to remove myself from this thread for posting that monstrosity.

i suppose as thread starter, your transgression can be overlooked… once…

(I hope it was obvious I was only kidding around btw)

I do like this thread though, it shows what people find desirable, or what folks think other people find desirable and what cars are in different areas around the country or world.

Of course I know you're kidding. So was I. I'd never remove myself from this thread.

Yes 100%! 650 and 675 I think are the best looking McLaren’s Outside of the P1. Spyder is the way to go as well, friend of mine has a 650s, I should post a pic one day… anyways 10/10

On looks, I prefer the 570 & Artura, but wouldn't turn any of them down.

I LOVE the 675LT, especially in Spider form. The wheels on that blue one are...less than desirable, but the car overall is super awesome.

Unfortunately McLarens are generally unreliable pieces of crap that are expensive to keep running.

I’m totally cheating here, these are pics from a car meet.
my Friend with the 650 now has a 720S spider, so here it is.




an R34, definitely dream car to me, it was my go to in Gran Turismo!



Venom viper, for some reason, to me, this thing has the same expression as Jim Carry in TheMask.


old BMW, still has smaller grills than new ones



Great looking SVJ


And, first time I see one of these things in person.

Ooops didn’t even ever see that thing stating only post pix taken from a car. Lol

So what this should really be called (if that were to be the actual case) would be an exotic / desirable spotting thread. But it doesn’t make that indication particularly. So.

im assuming that’s for me?
I wasn’t trying to say it’s not allowed to post, just saying that a car meet is a cheat to see nice cars, different than seeing it out in the wild on a road or parked somewhere doing everyday things.

Nothing like that, just saying I had not known about that. But also, I'm not the best with these kind of rules, @Yumcha knows.

lol, it’s not a rule at all. As far I’m concerned, keep posting car meet pics, I wanna see them! Like I said, “cheating” was related to the fact that I was going somewhere knowing nice cars would gather. I didn’t meant cheating as in breaking unwritten thread rules.

Finally crossed the Porsche Experience Center (Atlanta) off my list. I've always respected Porsche, specifically the 911. I drove the GT3 and the GT3RS. This experience gave me a newfound respect for the 911.

Not sure. There was no plaques or info sheets on that display for some reason, and the museum guide was somewhere else at the time so I didn't get a chance to ask questions.

^ FWIW 1990 CART Indy car

In 1990, Porsche entered its final season of Indy car racing with the innovative March 90P chassis and its first two-car team – Fabi (No. 4 Foster’s Beer/Quaker State March-Porsche)

nice of you to assume it's mine, but it's not.

I have never owned a motorcycle... I have never owned a 2 wheel motorized anything, until March of this year - here she is! I do ride it to work whenever I can (such as today) - top speed is 30 mph and its plenty fun (SO FUN) - but I do have the opportunity arise frequently where I want more speed, so will be upgrading this as soon as I can, probably will get the Inmotion RS Lite which does 56 mph. Doesn't mean I will be riding that fast on the daily, but I've always been a fan of HAVING THE POTENTIAL to do so, if I wanted.
