I think this can be fun, this is where we will post cool cars we have seen out in the wild, not in a showroom or at a show those dont count. These are cars that are being driven on the street that you normally wouldnt see....it can be any kind of car, or truck or bike for that matter, but lets use some judgement here, no sense in posting a supertricked out Neon that smoked your stang, lets keep it to rarer cars, ie. Ferrari, Lambo, Classics, the Shelby GT500 when its out, whatever, I know we can all tell what kind of cars are worth reporting here.....so tell the car and where you saw it, bonus points if you can take a pic of it.
I will start it off.....
Sunday on the way to work coming from the Dalton Show on Olivenhien Rd. in Encinitas around 4pm a red 438 Spider.

ok so far I am the only one playing so lets go people, but here are the ones I saw today, nothing big but....
Bentley Continental GT on El Camino Real in Encinitas I wasnt going to take a pic because the guy was admiring my car and I wanted to revel in it, but then remembered this thread so I did my best as he turned and I got stuck behind some other cars, that and these cars are more common then my car is in Encinitas....here are the pics

After work on Leucadia Blvd in Encinitas just off of El Camino Real a silver DB9, heading other way and it was night so by the time I noticed it, it was too late to take a pic.
and just to throw this one in a 911 Turbo S, they are all over the place so this hardly counts but I figure this should get the ball rolling.....

I would love to play- but there is absolutely nothing exciting in Bama unless you want pics of white and brown SUVS or Corvettes and Mustangs.

I can get a good concession on a chassis. I sell brush trucks and airport quick response crash trucks all over the country.
I just missed a bid to supply 24 F550 crash trucks to the Air Force to go to Qatar right after the war broke out. I currently have 4 coming for the Navy.

Believe it or not, I have an F550 crew cab on order right now for the Birmingham Airport. Chassis is still a ways out [you think Mustang GT's take a while] as there is a national shortage of 19.5 and 22.5 truck tires.
Truck should be delivered sometime next year.
It will probable look something like this except in a 4 door red chassis with a few more bells and whistles. This one was built for Lockheed Martin.
