Say what you will about the GT, that is a rare spot. From the info I've gotten, only 8 white GTs exist without stripes.

Don't see these too often. He kinda got on it once and sounded pretty good. I can imagine how amazing it would sound with an aftermarket exhaust.

Looks like his license plate says "Visa". Do you know if he's an exec there or anything?

Yup, his plate says Visa and his limo is Visa 1. Apparently, he has the patent to the security chip in credit cards, so the credit card companies pay him royalties.

I saw two nice cars within 15 minutes this afternoon.

First up is a Bentley Continental GT. It was at the same car wash I typically take the Pilot (aka Mommymobile) to. It has the typical brushes and so I would never take my CTS-V or S2000 there. I was surprised to see the guy there. Upon seeing the brushes, he pulled out of line. one of the wash guys and I spoke about the car and I asked if the owner of the Bentley was the owner of the wash. He apparently wasn't. Anyway...


Next up is a Mercedes CLS 550. I love the design of these cars, and frankly the first generation looked much better than the second. I couldn't get close enough for a good lateral shot. These were my best efforts:

Bentley and especially CLS's are an everyday sight for me around my neighborhood. I don't even really pay attention to them unless they are modded.

Say what?!

I've only seen the original Mini enough times to count on both hands. And I have never taken wood shop, so it's not like they're super rare or anything, but still.

Thank you for taking a picture of the front and not the rear

Those wheels are hideous.

Those rims would be fine if the lips were chrome or polished and not color matched.

That Panamera is also around my area a lot. Can't believe people pay so much for that car.

I did see a really nice white one lowered, wheels, and tint. Looked sharp with the LED's in front.

Yep, there's a Carrara white P4 Turbo in my neighborhood lowered with tint, looks good and has some road presence.
