New Corvettes everywhere see them all the time at work
[QUOTE=Ermac20;40932250]New Corvettes everywhere see them all the time at work[/QUOTE] Reminds me, sometime last year I saw a Corvette C6. I only saw the back end of it and couldn't tell if it was a Z06 or ZR1. Still, it was pretty cool because any kind of Chevrolet (aside from Holden drivers sticking Chevrolet badges on their Commodores) are really rare.

I seriously see atleast one every day in driveways and on the road when I go out. Now that summer has rolled around, it's gone up to about 3 or 4 every day. Just the other day I spotted two C3's on the same road. I live out in the middle of nowhere too.
I once saw a Maserati MC-12 when I was in Little Italy [img]http://i.imgur.com/FnsxCAr.jpg[/img] I also sometimes see a white Audi R8 v12 in my neighborhood, so someone close by must own it. Other than those two, I remember seeing a black Ford GT driving down the street while I was still in high school.

It was so awesome, the C3 is one of my most favourite cars.

Because I think the only GT40s ever made were for racing only.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;40932433] You sure it was a GT40 and not just a GT? Because I think the only GT40s ever made were for racing only.[/QUOTE] Yeah, GT is what I meant. I get the two mixed up sometimes.

Or maybe rich people enjoy bloody diarrhea too
I saw an SLR McLaren in Switzerland. Also, an Audi R8 was parked on my street for quite a long time a few years ago.
[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;40932688]I saw an SLR McLaren in Switzerland. Also, an Audi R8 was parked on my street for quite a long time a few years ago.[/QUOTE] I actually see R8s quite often here in Germany. I do like audi but for a luxus car it doesnt look very exotic. Reminds me a lot of the new tt.
Nissan gtr 2008+, as far as i know there only 2 on a 100km radius, though one of my friend has a 1992.

Pretty insane.
A BMW M5 Matte black, damn that thing's sexy. A Porsche drives around town too sometimes.
One of the specialists at the hospital I work in has this Fisker: [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/01/fisker-karma001.jpg[/img] It's a hybrid and has a solar panel on it's roof :v:
That's a really ugly grill.
I obviously couldn't get a picture but I overtook someone who was driving a Rat Rod Trike before. It looked pretty damn cool, almost steampunky. EDIT: It looked something like this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/nU8KfwR.jpg[/img] Obviously wasn't the same since people build these themselves but that's a similar style.
Don't see many American cars here so they always look huge, plenty of European super cars though
There's very little reason for a foreign country to buy a US car, seeing as the only supercar company we have (and we really can't even call it that) is Corvette, and apart from that, it's mostly muscle cars and cars that are good for regular use. Sure, there's Cadillac, but I heard they haven't been imported to Europe in some time, or if they were imported, it was purely by special request.

my brothers fully restored a ~1968 firebird, looks like this pretty much except with the hood spray painted black (imo it looks waaaay better entirely red, but w/e) [img_thumb]http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1960-1969/1968-Pontiac-Firebird-red-fa-sy.jpg[/img_thumb] he had another, either same muscle car but different year or another muscle car entirely, painted entirely black, but i forgot what kind it was and he sold it off anyway (he just decided to focus on the firebird entirely in the end) you havent lived unless youve been in a firebird doing doughnuts in a parking lot
Someone that lives ~10 minutes away from my house drives a DeLorean, I see him driving it around often

[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;40938671]Well America does have Corvette, Ford GT, Dodge Viper, also Shelby GT500.[/QUOTE] That Fisker I just posted is American as well.
This place in town called The Rootbeer Stand has car shows every wednesday and bike shows on thursdays. I often see a lot of really nice vintage muscle cars and sports cars on my way to work.
[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;40938671]Well America does have Corvette, Ford GT, Dodge Viper, also Shelby GT500.[/QUOTE] Yeah but they're massive and only come in left hand drive, so too difficult to drive on British roads
