I've seen a red exige in the mornings driving down Jones Franklin in the mornings. I think the dude stops by the Jack Daniels on the corner every now and then as well. Anyone know him?

3/1/2007 7:48:58 PM

Elise is in no way shape or form exotic any more, I see exiges on a regular basis.

3/1/2007 8:17:46 PM

I would say it still qualifies because it's a Ferarri.

And that is a 328. Or maybe a 308. I can never remember the differences. Not a 512 though.

3/1/2007 8:44:06 PM

i love 308s.

3/2/2007 10:21:08 AM

If I remember correctly on the Ferarri, vent Windows = 308.

3/2/2007 1:24:29 PM

^^ a RHD one, yes.

3/2/2007 1:27:29 PM

ah, didn't catch that the first time. does that add anything to the exoticness of the car or does that just mean its from overseas?

3/2/2007 3:30:39 PM

Ford GT, White with 2 black stripes (maybe navy) I-40 in Clemmons, NC (outside w-s)

3/15/2007 9:34:55 PM

lol. i got the biggest kick riding on those things when i lived in london for a summer.

3/15/2007 10:11:16 PM

this thing would best be sent on its way to the beer can factory. but the guy who bought it is a nut, he will likely restore it.

3/15/2007 11:09:18 PM

ooh, ooh, I want it. convert it into a camper or something. Is it at your work? I gotta come check that thing out.

3/15/2007 11:20:27 PM

Near DuPont circle in DC last Friday night - Bentley Flying Spur parked nonchalantly on the street. Didn't think to snap a pic though.

In the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday:
Ferrari F355 spider


The next day, on I-66 north of DC, I saw something even more rare (in the US at least)--an R32 Nissan Skyline. I didn't get a picture and didn't get close enough to tell if it was a GT-R or not, as I was driving and it was stopped on the shoulder, but it was definitely a Skyline and not a 240/something similar kitted to look like one. First one of those I've seen in person, to be sure...

I-66 runs east-west

3/16/2007 1:26:37 AM

Okay, so I was west of DC. Heading East. My idea of what's where up around there isn't too good...

You'll have to forgive me, I ain't from 'round there...(was on my way back to Crystal City from the Udvar-Hazy center of the Air & Space museum)

Testarossa at the house right next door to the house by the beach I was about 2 hours away from moving into when I first got to Pensacola. ended up getting another place about 5 minutes away.

I've never looked at it up close. Part of me thinks it might be a kit car or something, because it's usually parked outside and uncovered, right by the road. The house also usually has a Boxster and nice CJ-7 in the driveway (and something something else kinda notable, but I can't remember what right offhand).









Porsche GT2 I saw up in Baltimore one day when I was stationed at Quantico. The dude was a former Army infantry officer, early-to-mid 30s, and had TWO GT-2s...this was the "street" one (complete with full cage and all kinds of performance upgrades, including turbo upgrade). the other one, he said, was his racecar. I can't remember what he ended up doing for a living after he left the military, but I'd like to know.

Last night I saw Mario Williams driving an Orange Murcielago LP640 roadster down Glenwood

3/18/2007 12:36:10 PM

Yea that one, same one that's in his facebook pictures parked in front of his house in Texas so apparently he drove it here from Houston.....6'6 290lbs driving an LP640 from Houston to Raleigh, that must have been fun

3/18/2007 12:57:33 PM

i'd say for a pro football player in a lambo its about a 2 hr drive

yeah, from the pic the dimensions just don't look quite right. looks kinda like a fiero based kit.

3/18/2007 2:04:48 PM

i saw mario's lambo last night too...at the crappy gas station across from broughton with his bodyguard in a pimp suit, both doors open, and about 10 people outside looking at his car.

3/18/2007 2:09:13 PM

And why would a guy worth 60 Mil have a kit car, might I ask?

3/18/2007 2:52:15 PM

^try reading the thread again.

3/18/2007 3:00:43 PM

Explain to me just what a "kit car is" then?

3/18/2007 3:20:21 PM

thats the ting about red heads... they always look like kit cars....
even the real ones... the only way to tell is that the damn thing is almost square if its real.
f'in 9 feet wide or something.


[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 3:25 PM. Reason : .]

3/18/2007 3:20:33 PM

it's a good one if it is a kit. everything is basically identical, some of the dimensions just look a little funny to me. it could totally be camera angle, etc. though.

yeah, that's what i wonder.

but yeah, if it's a kit, it's a good one.
