That is cool.

I don't like to drive for more then 20 miles at a time unless I am driving an exotic car or I know there is something worth checking out. But I don't own an exotic car, so

I drove all the way to the old crystal cove meet before and the only cool car there was an Enzo. Cool and all, but not worth waking up at 5am and driving one hour. If I live 10 minutes away, I would go every week.

What do YOU consider to be special or cool?

Apparently they only had 2 or 3 E65's

I didn't word it right, and don't get me wrong, I don't mean only Enzo level of cars are cool to me. At that meet I went to, most cars were common cars like stock M3s and stuff, only one Enzo there that was interesting.

To me, I enjoy checking out all rare and unusual cars that I don't see everyday, or all exotic........... V8 Vantage and up. Common cars that I see everyday at the mall is not worth waking up early for you know, like M3, C63, stock 360 Modena, 911 Carrera.........even GT3s are everywhere in So Cal, it takes at least a RS to get me interested. But the past few C&C pics from you looks interesting enough for me to start going. Also large quantity of exotic all in the same place is cool too, even if they are just regular exotics.

I believe it, Brabus cars are rare and not many people would pay that much for them, especially back then.

I also like to see special models, if there are a bunch of Scuderia, 16M, Challenge Stradale, 599 GTO all appear at the same time............of course F40, F50 really helps.

I am a really jaded So Cal guys that pay attention to exotic cars on the street everyday, I see regular F360, F430, GT3, V8 Vantage, Continental GT, S65........pretty much everyday on the street, so you have to excuse me. I am not going to wake up early on a Saturday to see cars I see everyday at the mall in front of Ralphs.

I have ran into Veyron and 288 GTO on the street just randomly on a regular day, not going to a car event. Maybe now you know why I am so jaded.

I love the Datsun 240Z, roadster and pickup, and the Volvo P1800. I'm a sucker for older cars.

And the F40.
