Man the cars I got to gawk at on the highway today...

First off at around 10:00 this morning I come up next to a phony(?) Shelby Cobra. It had a really shiny blue color and white stripes, but the rollbar came all the way across to the passenger side, the real Cobra only had one for the driver, and the exhaust pipes were coming out the back instead of on the side. Regardless of whether it was a kit car or not, the thing probably had a 427 underneath, I shouted at him to floor it, the guy looked to be in his mid 40's. LoL the guy has his little black racing gloves on and waves bye bye to me, downshifts the bastard and fucking guns it, damn that thing was moving. I was like .

Later on today I see some bright red car in my rearview mirror, it started to get closer and I could make out some little chrome horse in the middle of the grille. It was a goddamn Ferrari, all of a sudden whoosh the thing is flying right by me like I'm standing still. I was like wtf I dunno which was faster that Ferrari or the Cobra. From what I saw in the mirror before it went flying by, it looked like this

Around 3 I had to get back on the highway to get to Manassas for a hair cut. As I exit the ramp and get on the highway, some old truck had a nice dark red colored Mustang Saleen on a trailer hitch, I'm just driving next to it taking a few looks, pretty nice car. Anyways I go about my business, speed up a little and get in front of the truck. A couple minutes later, to absolutely complete my fucking drool over these hot cars today, a brand new Dodge Viper (2002) creeps by me on the left, bright bright red with white stripes, my favorite color. I couldn't believe it, haha, naturally he had a typical license plate for his car, FAST SNK. Never really got to get up to him after he passed me, too many cars were blocking the way and he ended up getting way ahead. That was a shame I would of liked to see what that car could of done . Oh well fuck it that was a crazy day. I never thought I'd get to see so many damn sexy cars in one day.

I can't count how many cars worth over 100 grand I see a day on my fingers and toes. Rolls and Bentleys are as common as maximas out here.

On another note, about 2 weeks ago I saw a red/white striped shelby cobra. Probably a kit car too, didn't sound like a 427 though, still was nice though.

Hey Devil, the Ferrari posted is a 575 Maranello, which is the new evolution of the 550 Maranello... You probably saw a 550, because I'm not sure if the 575s have actually hit our shores yet.

I wish there were nice cars in the valley... There are two cobras, but they never come out to play

We do have our fair share of Porsches!

That H2 Hummer, I'm starting to see quite a few of those around too. They cost around the price of Z06 Vette and seeing a Corvette isn't uncommon.

we got som nice cars in our town. 4 H2s, (yellow, black, tan, blue) 3 H1s (gray, black, black), a red Ferrari F50, (at least thats what they told me.) It looks EXACTLY like the one on that x-box or PS2 game Gotham Racing. I went off the road staring at it. Another Ferrari, but I don't know what type it is. It's got kind of a wierd back for a Ferrari Almost like an integra hatch kindofbutnotreally. I got to ride in it after a car show once. Greatest experience of my life. An '03 Supra (Thats what he told me but he's not known for telling the truth) and it's souped hard. It's so nice. 4 NSXs, all black. One doesn't count though because some bitches daddy bought it for him and he's stuck up as hell...
:greenchai
2 brand spankin' new 350Zs, one of which I got to ride in. Got porches like hell around here. 02 yellow Viper, 00 red Viper. 2 Shelbys only one gets driven tho. The other is my friend's dads car. it's got 1K miles on it and it's all original. utterlygorgeousnutinpantsholyflyingshitwouldmurder forthiscar. I got to touch it....

I nearly cried after realizing that the Porsche was a GT2. I think they made like 100 GT2's total. That car is quite fast. Yeah the Corvette is quite common around here. And the new Z's are becomming quite common also... (Odd cause you can never see on at the dealership, they always sell out of them).

I guess they aren't that popular here yet or they haven't come to that point. I've only seen one of those new Nissan cars parked in a practically empty lot.
