While on vacation saw some pretty nice cars. . .

Mostly around the Rodeo Drive area in Beverly Hills. I'm guessing these are a dime a dozen out here but thought it was interesting. All over a 2 hour period.

Benz




Bentleys












Rolls Royces











This one was just driving around like this. Strange. . .



Lotus Elise




Aston Martin's








Ferrari's








Lambo's

My favorite sightings. . .

One of these days I want to see one of those hypercars on the street completely covered with crap (or at the very least, brake dust) to indicate that someone had recently flogged the thing to within an inch of its life.

I never understood the expression "It looks like it's moving when it's standing still" until I saw that picture.

Obviously you know nothing about racing Bentleys. That wing, cleverly disguised as a trunk lid, provides 167 lbs of downforce above 150 mph.

Actually its a Rolls Royce Corniche.

Some of those cars look like dealer vehicles.

Wheels on the Vanquish are hideous.

My big day was seeing a black Veyron followed closely by a black Enzo followed closely by a black Carrera GT. I tried to turn around and follow them, but they were gone by the time I looked in my rear-view mirror.

That's what you get living in the Beverly Hills of the East Coast (i.e. Greenwich, CT)...

Im sure if you stuck around on Rodeo long enough you'd see a Veyron or two. Thats where all the car guys go to get their glam on.

LOL, I know what you mean. I used to work on the Stamford/Greenwich line and those cars were daily sightings. In fact I used to drive by where they detailed Bently's before they went to the dealership on the way to work every morning.

I thought when I moved to Arizona I wouldn't be exposed to that anymore, that was until I realized my new job was in Scottsdale, a.k.a. the Greenwich of the Old West.

I wondered about that also, because most if not all had new dealer plates on them.

Agreed on the Vanquish rims, what were they thinking?

Yeah, its not uncommon for well to do shopping areas (Rodeo or Worth Ave. in Palm Beach for example) for dealers to park expensive exotics on the streets to catch the eyes of potential wealthy customers.... hitting your market directly.

No different than having nice cars in upscale malls.

^^Reminds me of Santana Row.... just an upscale stretch of stores, restaurants and hang out spots for the rich and wealthy with people living in some expensive condos just above.

Not as spectacular, but just driving down the strip takes about a little over a minute or so, you would easily see probably around half of those cars parked on the side or driving by on the other side of the street. Once I saw a DB9 and 2 F430s parked in sequence to each other, I've seen Continental GTs, 911s of all types, etc. The most amazing thing I've seen though was about 30 Ducatis parked side-by-side, most of them red, with one or two black ones thrown in for good measure. Probably a club or something, they all had riders, most with Ducati jackets on. I spent about 10 minutes walking back and forth, looking at each one. Wish I took pictures....
