boxerfan Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Saw one headed into DC on Rt 66 about two weeks ago. Took me a while to figure out what it was from behind. I agree...anti-climatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADirtyLegacy Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Musta hurt like hell. naaa..seeing as how i make that face at least once a day for some reason or another. wasn't anti-climatic for me, as stuff like like and the sl65 i saw around here the other month are rare sightings. i figure it was a football or bball player..but i could be wrong!

o- c-uTe Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I seen a few in San Diego. I think I will see them a lot more then a regular Bentleys. The reason why I think is because it is only $159,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...I've got two of em...one for even days and one for odd...LOL I haven't even seen a Bentley on the road here in Rochester, NY. Once in a great while I see a Ferrari but that is a pretty rare occasion. Pretty lame for the 3rd largest city in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he knew it. of course he didn't know...he was rolling on 24's!!! i forgot about the Maserati i was behind for 5miles about a month ago. i say these are rare, b/c in the grand scheme of things...Charlotte just isnt that big and doesn't have much going for it b/c Wachovia and BOA.

D-2.5-GT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I saw a black one of those in NH last week if you can believe it. SWeeeeeet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 We see so many Bentley's, Ferrari's and Maserati's around here that BMW's and Porsche's seem like Honda's. Guess we take it for granted......I stopped gawking years ago, but that's not to say other drivers don't stop right in front of me to stare (Ferrari/Maserati of Washington just built a new showroom - next to Carmax and the automall - you can see AOL HQ from the showroom and MCI HQ and Redskin Park are 2 minutes down the road).

BlkLegGt Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I love how all these kinda posts end up... -"Hey, saw a (insert exotic/rare/expensive car here) at the mall the other day! My jaw just dropped! What a jewel!" next guy... -"Well. I have to push those (insert same exotic/expensive car here) out of my way while getting to my job at Sears. Matter of fact, I found one in my crackerjack box last week. They've become so common that the city has to fumigate the area just to diminish their numbers. Besides, it's got a face only a mother could love." Sheesh! It's like one-up's-manship... Nice find. Nice car. Rare find. Rare car. Glad to see it brought a smile to your automotive heart.

Those aren't "rare find" and "rare car" around here. I see several every week. Actually, I've seen more of them on the street than I have LGT's. Just driving down Sunset two nights ago, saw the new Ferrari F430 and then a Porsche 911 Turbo rush off to try to catch up to him. Followed later by a Vanguish, and then the new Rolls Phantom. Yesterday, saw two Lambo's (a yellow Diablo VT) and the yellow Garaldo (sp) that shows up at my gym from time to time. It's not "one upmanship" it's just relative to where you live.

mjcdriscoll Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 a couple weeks ago i saw the new carrera gt (omg that is sexy in person) & last thursday saw a skyline gt-r34 (i will post some dig pics if anyone wants them). it is the only r34 i have ever seen. i am not a big fan of them but in person it looks a lot better & you have to respect all that power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADirtyLegacy Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 i gotta agree on both aspects..even around here 5series are like Hondas, but hell any middle management person can afford those, but i still go everytime i see a new 5 or 7 since i love those headlights. however i agree it depends on where u are at. if ya live in NYC, LA, DC, etc it's like your everyday sighting. but down here in the south (sans Atl, and we all know FLA isn't part of the south ) seeing these beauties is like seeing car magazines come to life.

It's not "one upmanship" it's just relative to where you live. Ahhhhhhh, c'mon. There's a bit of 'raining on one's parade' going on here. In other words, as Jeff Foxworthy might say - "You know you're a redneck if...you get excited at the site of a Bently GT". I understand this theory of relativity as far as what 'rare' is. But you come off a bit like Bill Clinton..."That depends upon your definition of 'rare' . And how can the sight of a Diablo, or F430, or a 911 Turbo ever cause you to turn your head and yawn? Even if you see two a day. Sorry if I offend, but I cannot be the only one who detects the tone, just had to call a lil' BS here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well, okay, I'll play. I live in upstate NY, in Sullivan County, which is pretty poor, and around here there isn't much. But today I saw an 05 Legacy! Not a GT, but still! And it was a sedan! Golly! And I thought I was the only one in the county! Course, mine's a GT, but still! Golly! Last week, I was in drastically more upscale Ulster County (not to mention hip), and I saw a Maserati Quatroporte. I parked and walked around it a couple of times. I found it really sad how much it looked like a Buick, but then, that's just me. I'm glad my car doesn't look like a Buick, and for roughly Buick money I got what I got.

direavenger Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I saw a Lotus in the Northwest suburbs of Philly (Montgomery County, PA) while home on Easter break. <----I pushed this piece to the limit just so I could get a good look at it!

mbacis Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I just saw an Elise last week on the way to work, got to sit in traffic with it pretty close by. Surprised to see it had New Hampshire plates, that's a long drive in a small car. There is a higher concentration of "rare" cars around here (saw a Carrera GT the other day too), but they're still cool as hell to look at mixed in with all of the BMWs, MBs, Lexus, and Hummers. **(Not trying to "one-up" anyone here, just sharing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
