Nice little exhibition of cars today

Went for about 70 miles of driving here in Sunny Southern CA. Saw at least 20+ MINI's (maybe 1-2 MCs primarily MCSs)

Final Count:

3 Ferrari 360's
1 Ferrari 430
1 Gallardo
1 SLR (silver)
2 Lotus Elise's
1 05+ Saleen on 22/23's
1 old school MINT Packard
2 Bentley GTs
1 Rolls Phantom
2 911 Turbo (1 cabrio)
1 Yellow Z06

15+ MINI Cooper S's (probably closer to 20), 6+ C6's (one with a super hot milf driving), 6+ Carreras, 6+ Boxsters, 6+ 03-04 Cobras.


Great day, great cars out, now back out into the sun!

Where the heck in SoCal? I drive 80+ miles a day in San Diego and I've only seen a couple really nice cars. I work in a really upscale part of town and have only seen a couple things... Ferraro 612 and Aston Martin V12 Vanquish being the two nicest.

Here in Miami, I gotta pass everything from a homemade POS donkey cart with junk falling off the back to a Ferrari or Maserati. On the same day!

Ok, I didn't exactly pass the Ferrari or Maserati. It's strange tho that in Kendall (my suburb), I've seen quite a few Maseratis.

sorry this was on PCH driving from Long Beach to Dana Point.

(through Hunington/Newport/Laguna Beach, etc)

There's always nice cars, but yesterday seemed to be above average eye candy, even got a wave (did a double-take figuring no way it was directed at me but it was) from a guy in a red Ferrari 360.

Umm, the car in the middle is a McLaren F1, not a Ferrari..... It's worth over a million by itself, nor is it road legal in the US. I've seen an Enzo, Bentley Continental GT and a Murcielago all parked in a row at the same restaurant here in Michigan .

I was talking to a friend that lives in West Palm Beach, FL about a Lamborghini that I saw in Daytona, and he responded, "I live in South Florida, I saw a Lamborghini racing a Ferrari down PGA BLVD the other day." I need to move down there....

I walked in and there was an Enzo, A Superamerica, 2 SLR's a Fort GT, a Vanquish, a DB9, like 5 porsches, 3 lambos, 430s, 360's, bently's, and a carrera GT. All inside . i was creaming my pants just standing there.
