At a work thing that requires me to travel the Capital Beltway. As any of you know 495 sucks (last night it was 2 hours to go 20 miles).

This morning on my way in I pull in behind a nice BMW M6 (first time I've seen one on the roads, to my left comes up an Acura NSX and then within a minute an Evo IX MR comes up on my right.

For people out west or maybe near NY City this may be common but I usually don't get to see nice cars like this (well maybe the evo) on a routine basis. Oh and a nice M5 was stuck doing 0-5mph with me yesterday.

Just felt like sharing. Last time I was down here I saw a Bentley GT and a Ford GT in the GT40 colors.

What cool cars have you all seen out and about?

 

Was toolin' down Hampton Road (in Fairfax County, VA--nice twisties) and passed a Ferrari (couldn't determine the model, was too busy shiftin to 3rd and stuffin' my 8 in the curve).

 

I did the same thing this morning. Took me an hour to get nowhere.

The people stuck in traffic are people with 9-5 jobs, some of them make good money.

This morning I saw my future car - a black C5 corvette. Too bad it was a Fixed roof coupe and not a targa top like mine will be.


Edit: What's so funny about this is that I was getting pissed about traffic and thinking "well at least I can size up everyone elses cars".

 

a cruised up H3(on Oahu) today next to a Saleen S7 for about 15 minutes

 

i was cruising with this on my vacation.....

 

I drove by my dream car this morning. there she was just sitting in the parkiing lot looking fine in orange. this car can go reallllly fast. i think the wing on top of car gives it about 20 more hp from what i have heard.

 

^hahaha it's sad that i've actually seen a few cars now with wings on the roof of the car, and the guys that drive those cars were so serious about them...

i've driven with some nice cars, some notable ones were 2 lambos (both yellow) and on another occasion, I drove for 10 miles behind a new Volvo Prototype, I wish I could have taken pics but had no camera on me and my phone's camera is dysfunctional :-(

 

If you're still in the area this weekend; take a cruise on 495 and get off on Clara Barton Pkwy (exit 41). When you dead end, make a right and in a few miles a left onto Falls Rd. In about 1.5-2 miles you will see a shopping center on your right. Pull in there and just hang out for a bit.

That drive would've taken you through one of the nicer parts of the DC area ending in one of the richest towns in the entire US. You will see some of the nicest cars out as long as it's nice and sunny.
