Keep the pics coming, Nantucket; thanks. I have a funny story about older Ferraris. One of the guys in my company - an IT techie, making I'm guessing about $40K a year. He bought a 20 year-ish old Ferrari for about $40K (he's a bachelor - no wife to gripe about the spend). He looks great in it.

lol.

This was a great thread ultimately ruined by the image of the "ultra pimped-out" Impala.

Agreed. And check out what the driver is wearing

Disclosure: My father had a 928 S4 and it was the first manual car I drove. Definitely ahead of its time. My father also bought one of the first off the boat in 1978 and it had the wild German pop art checkerboard seats. The car became hot and my Dad was able to sell it one year later for $16K more than he paid.

The 928 GTS was on my list of cars to buy before I got my current car. The cost of maintenance and repairs however ultimately ruled it out (same thing happened with the BMW 850 I was looking at).

I thought it was hilarious. The driver was thrilled that I was taking a picture of his ride and gave me a big two thumbs up.

NR, am I correctly understanding that these are new shots of cars you take daily rather than some year's stockpile or something. Because this is unreal.

Nice '91 Jag.

Yes. While I'm out shooting people with my film camera, I shoot cars with my digital. Since I started this thread, I've been posting pictures shot the same day. Of course, I miss a lot of cars too.

I can't begin to imagine. You don't see that in NYC. Ever going to post any of your street work? It is my favorite genre, I just can't do it.

I posted some of my b&w work in this thread.
