I saw a whole bunch this weekend down in Wrightsville beach, but I can't remember any specifics off the top of my head
and while it isn't truly exotic, piddlebug saw her first wagoneer this weekend (and we saw 2 more after) - she liked it, which is awesome because I would love to have one! 10/9/2011 10:25:04 PM |

synapse, are you confusing the R8 GT with the TT? The R8 GT costs around triple the cost of a Z06.10/9/2011 11:10:02 PM |

I saw a black Tesla Roadster this morning on Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill. Had to do a double take.

I saw a black one in downtown Raleigh a few weeks ago. Wonder if it was the same one. I was tempted to ask him if he wanted to race to 130 mph 10/10/2011 11:31:27 AM |

Sedan looks neato. 0-60 of 5.6 and optional package to boost the range to 320 miles (160 mile range on base). And yes 130 top speed. heh. Too bad it's so damn expensive. 10/10/2011 11:36:07 AM |

Not necessarily an exotic in the conventional sense, but I saw a Citroen CX wagon in traffic on I-40 last Thursday. Never officially imported here, so a strange thing to see on our roads (though a number were unofficially imported). Didn't get a picture, but this is what I'm talking about:

Teslas are exotic in the same sense as, say, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson playing 2 Girls 1 Cup. They ruined something that was perfectly awesome to begin with.
I saw a black DB9 on base the other day, in the parking lot of the flight school academic building. This lot is primarily used by students, so at first I figured it to be either a Saudi exchange student, or an old-money Navy ensign...but it doesn't have DoD stickers on it, so it isn't a Navy student, and a notepad on the center console had very obviously female, english handwriting, so it wasn't a Saudi student, haha. 10/10/2011 5:49:43 PM |

while one of the most common porsches, it is uncommon (rare, maybe even exotic) to see someone defiling it with a bike rack 10/15/2011 12:42:41 PM |

I hardly would call a bike rack on a Porsche (especially the 911) defiling. The car was meant to be an all purpose sporty DD when first designed. I find it to be no less sexy with some accessories attached 10/15/2011 2:01:36 PM |

I used to have multiple cars but always ended up driving my 911, so I put a bike rack on it. I think it's cool, but a lot of people get freaked out. I'm not entirely sure why. Here's a few of us on a biking trip to Tsali;
My previous car, at lake crabtree;
Current car next to one of THE best trails in NC;
OK, while we're at it, here's a legit "exotic"

Ferrari 360 driving past Best Buy at the mall in Pensacola. It was navy blue...I'm not quite sure why they make them in any color besides yellow or red, but it's a spectacular machine nonetheless. 10/30/2011 10:55:49 PM |

There's a silver GT-R that lives in my neighborhood.
I see a black Ferrari California often in the morning. I live off Trinity Road, usually catch him at the stoplight at 54 about 8am, then he always takes 40 east. Seen it numerous times, always when the weather is good, and the top is always down. Licence plate says "EPIC JET"-? Haven't seen it since the weather got cooler. 11/10/2011 7:06:50 PM |
