Yesterday was a great day!

While out for lunch I saw a pretty green LS460, and then about half a block later I saw a white one. I have to say the green was the hotter of the two imo. The LS460 is a car I would do nothing to, ok you forced my hand, maybe wheels.

Then on my way to school I saw a white drop top M6. That was the first M6 I have seen on the streets. Needless to say, it was hot, and I am not a convertible man.

And, just when I thought my day could get no better, I see a grey M5. It’s something about that car that I just love.

This to me was an awesome day. I live in Richmond, VA. You usually do not see many $80,000 – $100,000 cars around here, but it is starting to pick up.
I just wanted to share my day with you all
Thanks

I've only seen one LS460 and it was in black. Plus was being test driven by a mechanic.

Only time I see an LS is when I pass in front of the Lexus dealer a couple mins from me.

You should come over here to SoCal and see all the nice toys that people flaunt in the streets everyday... LD

I live in Richmond, CA and I've seen one LS 460. Richmond is a pretty rough neighborhood and I sure do miss SoCal. There are tons of nice cars roaming the streets down there...

I did a 260 mile loop yesterday from Cerritos to San Diego. Mostly on I-5 and I-8, in that time, I didn't spot a single LS in any generation. :uh: Don't they have these things in SD? :uh: ;)

True, SoCal is the center of the country's auto culture and easily its largest new-car market (my own D.C. area, for new cars, is the second-largest outside of SoCal). But the problem with areas like this is that while there are indeed a lot of nice cars, they can't GO anywhere...you start your engine and then sit in gridlock.

Ah, I remember the days when I used to get excited seeing cars like those on the streets. I'm way too jaded for that now, the only cars that excite me are some Ferraris, Lambos, and other exotics. I have to admit that I have a smile on my face every time I leave my apartment and get into my new Corvette though :D

I expected to see more fancy cars when we moved to Tampa, but that hasn't been the case. I've seen a very small handful of "lower end" Ferraris, and few Bentleys, but that's about it.

I see at least 4-5 LSs everyday here in socal and 2 gallardos yesterday. I must admit that I was turned off by the nasty exhaust note:sad:

Must be the rarity or just being desensitize, but I was more excited to see a z06, just 1 so far:p

In Atlanta there are so many expensive/exotic cars. The nicest that I've seen were the Porsche Carrera GT, Maybach, Rolls Royce Phantom, and a couple of Aston Martin DB9s and Vanquish. Also see a lot of Bentley Continental GTs. And I've only seen one Mercedes-Benz AMG 65. It was the S65 AMG.

Funny. At my condo for example, there is an SL55 AMG and S55 AMG, two M6, and a Maybach 57, parked casually in the open. I don't even want to know what's parked behind most garages.

Yeah. I see them everyday... :D

I drive past 2 M5s on the way to work every single day. There must be someone with an Orange Gallardo in the neighborhood because I always see one cruising by the park I shoot hoops at (gated). I don't know how so many people make so much money!

There's a couple amazing exotics in Montreal. Only time you see them is in the summer. Couple people in the winter drive their 997's around.

Nicest combo I saw was last summer parked in front of Montreal's only 5 star hotel the St James. A Rolls Royce Phantom and Maybach 57S which both are owned by the hotel. Plus they own also a Bentley Continental GT.

Plus now they are purchasing a yatch.

One thing in the summer you can see alot of Gallardo's and F360 or F430 driving around.

There is supposable a Porsche GT1 and MB SLR around my area, still havent seen them yet.

Best thing I am moving about 2 blocks away from the hotel which is near some hot action in the summer.

I heard from my father. Someone he does business with bought 7 white LX470's, which was amazing until the company went under. Thing is the guy was able to keep his F430 though hehe.

Thanks for sharing, that was a pretty lucky chain of encounters. I have seen an M5 or two but not yet an M6. I really like the green (Verdigris Mica) LS 460 too, I've seen both the regular and L versions. :thumbup:

Ever been to Miami?? Go to South Beach and you will be amazed.

There's this guy that owns the "Swap Shop" in Ft. Lauderdale. He has most of his cars there on display. From the Enzo, to a Enzo FXX, to the MB McLaren, F-50, Ferrari 430, etc... It just plain rediculous.

One day a Porsche Carrera GT passed me up doing a good 100 - that exhaust was bone chilling. There was a kid staying in the same apartment complex, going to Univeristy of Miami and he was driving a Ferrari 430 red. 1 month later, he showed up in that funky green Gallardo. He use to alternate between to two. Makes me think - where did I go wrong?

Today made up for it...there was a 460 next to me when I finished at Costco. The back seat of it was filled with paper towels and toilet paper. :D

On Tuesday, I spotted a black MB SLR near South Coast Plaza. :eek2: :thumbup:
