Cool Nice cars in Dallas...

Today I saw a Bentley Continental GT going from Central to NW Highway. I coudn't tell what it was looking at directly from the back, it looks almost like any other car from the back but as I was making the big loop on the NW Highway I caught up to him in mid loop and realized what it was. I don't know if he saw me and wanted to show off or he was just bored but he took off. Not the kind of take off you do in a RX-8, the kind of take off you do in a 12 cylinder monster...it was unreal how quick that big car is. Also, it was much bigger in person than I thought it was.

Now Bentleys come and go but...

5 min later as I was heading N. on the toll road and infront of me I see a very wide, very low, very red, very exotic looking car get on at the Royal on ramp. I quickly speed up and see a damned Enzo. That car is bigger than I thought too and it really really wide. Anyways it was pretty awesome, we both got off on the 635 exit to head west but he then turned back around went south on the toll road.

I just thought i would share...has anyone else seen an Enzo on the road? I didn't think that very many of them made it over here???????????

That's funny I saw a Bentley Contintental GT yesterday on I-95 Northbound. Saw the tail lights and could't figure out what kind of car it was. Looked it up today... quite the badass car. Other than that I never see any exotic/luxury cars... maybe a ferrari here and there.

I have seen a usual midnight blue lambourginie (if thats how you spell that?) hehe.... I "raced" it one time. If you call it a race? It was more like me going fast off a light and this mean deep howl squeel of 12 pistons flying past me.. I had a head start too, lol. It sounded like the mixture of a mean V8 mixed with like a ricer except the idle sound...well i could compare it to me pushing my gas pedal to about 4000 RPMS every two seconds. So hard to explain... those of you that have heard the engine of one of these four-wheeled beastes know what I'm talking about.

I know what you mean. Back in highschool a friend of mine had a formula firebird and tried to race a white Lambo Countouche (SP?) and it was just plain rude how baddly that car spanked us.

Well I have a similar experience when I was down in Dallas visiting my friends. I saw : Ferrari F40, Ferrari 360 Spyder, Ferrari 360 Modena, Lamborghini Murcielago and a Porsche Carrera 4. Oh also saw a Black NSX. The NSX is my favorite out of all those cars. Ive seen a few around in Tyler. Maybe 2 or 3 different ones.





Not very good pics, but hey its not everyday you see a AWD Porsche Came up on it in Highland Park where my friends live.

I saw this HOT car today in the parking lot at work. I have no idea what make it was. The emblem on the front looked like a circle and it was gold. The inside lights where separate from the headlights and the rear lights resembled a corvette, but I know it wasn't. God it was gorgeous. The curves on this thing were smooth but hard, exaggerated and defined. I would have pulled over and drooled for longer than a few seconds, but I would have held up outbound traffic. Anyone have any ideas?

I saw my first elise the other day in a parking lot so I got out and had a good look at it. I am in love with the car itself, i.e. the engine, the value, the basic idea of the car but holy crap was that thing small. I realize now why it does not weigh anything. Those Brits must be real small.

Saw a Bentley tonight exiting Lemon on 75. Very nice.

Are any of these cars that we're seeing really out of our price range?
