I would love to take credit for this phrase, but I picked it up from some Brit. selling MINI Coopers a few years back. Either way, it seems to be the best way to explain feisty vehicles.

There was an Expedition in front of the R8. I didn't see anyone standing in the road, I didn't see the door open, but the car was parked perfectly on the side, so I'm assuming the owner was in the Expedition you can kinda see in the first pic.

Parked next to my buddy's Mustang. I wonder if this is the guy that lives a couple miles away. I mean there can't be too many red 458's out there...

He has grey hair, therefore I'm sure he's reminiscing on his younger days when that Mustang was brand new.

The 458 would blow his trousers off if he got behind the wheel.

RX7. Sounded like a V8 when moving. Guages all over the interior and I believe it was gutted.


Don't know much about this car but this Lotus was in the golf course parking lot. Never seen one before. Anyone know the year?

^it's definitely ricey-looking, but an LT1/LSx/whatever V8 RX-7 =

A POS RX7 is better than no RX7 at all. I don't see any around me.
Plus the thing sounded tough so I guess I should've taken a video.

Saw this on a motorcycle ride to St. Michaels, MD today. This 1972 Lamborghini Espada was in amazing condition, 10/10 Concours class.

I took a pic w/ my phone of a picture of my dad's old 99 Trans Am. I will never forget about this car. Had the luxury of driving it when I was in H.S. and made a lot of classmates jealous at the time. LOL.

Reason I love this car so much is the color. I have never seen this car on the road before and STILL to this day. They only made this color in 99 for the Grand Am, Grand Prix, and Trans Am.

The Qvale Mangusta is an interesting little car. Not what I would spend my money on but you don't see many of them.
