sorry.... that Panamera looks terrible. Maybe it's just a bad angle or needs to be lowered more(?) but the wheels seem too big.

Nope, lowering it won't help, new wheels won't do anything. Once you get past the front windows, you're doomed....

^Agreed. The last 1/3 of the Panamera kills the whole package.

Meh, in person the ass still kills it for me. I've driven a few and the interior almost makes up for the butt. Almost.

Nothing whets my appetite for cars quite like a Skyline.

S63 AMG I saw on the freeway today. For a car with such a big engine, it's really quiet.

Yup, and I kicked his ass.. 
Thankfully, I have never felt the need to street race.

Sweet!
It's a Holden ute from Australia, but I assume you already know that. There was some thought to bringing this over as a new Chevy El Camino.

This is why I was surprised to see it cruising down the freeway.

That's awesome! I've thought about it later down the road, but apparently, Australia has a rather high tax associated with their car sales. 
the Supra!

These two were parked in front of the Marriott I was staying at over the weekend.
Some old pictures on my phone I never uploaded.
General Lee from Duke of Hazzard Museum in Nashville, TN
Cars from Elvis's car collection at Graceland
Couple of cars from a car show in GA

^Don't see those very often. It's a beast though.
I saw this on the way home from the National Meet yesterday...
Look at those rear tires

Miami visit and I got to drive a DB9
I was visiting my brother in Miami last weekend and the amount of exotic cars down there is amazing. Took some photos, not the best pictures.
I kept seeing Maserati Quatroporte all over the place.
One of the Cobra's is a Factory Five and the other is an original 427. I could not tell on the Porsche 550 Spider, it looked original but somehow I doubt it. I looked really closely at the welds on the rear engine grill and king nut machining on the rear axle shafts but if it's a replica it's really nice one.
The highlight of the visit was driving a DB9, I was helping move it to a garage for long term storage. Although that was great to drive, I still slightly prefer driving my brother's 996 convertible.
And to top it off the weather was great. Miami folks have some nice sights to look at on the beach and roads

i have a buddy in the Epic, and a coworker in the Icon. Both garages are like exotic showroom floors. it really is mind boggling. can you say most indebted state?
and yes, the quattroportes are EVERYWHERE. followed by the panamera...car insurance in both areas mentioned above are outrageous.

Besides the cars, the condos there are pretty amazing.
