Exotic Cars on the Street

[VMan]

Saw a new Mercedes SLS AMG on the road today, had no idea they were available yet. Looked much better than in photos.

i was buying burgers at Shake Shack in the UWS and there was this ferrari parked in the front. notice the space in front? numerous cars parallel parked in front of it no problem, but then someone in an audi parks in front of it fine, then inexplicably lurches forward then proceeds to back right into the ferrari! the typically long lines in front of Shake Shack Shrieked in horror! luckily the plastic bumper on the ferrari just bends and snaps back into place. no scratches or damage.

Those GW Mercedes are super hot. Also the Aston Martin looks very nice as well. Your neighbor has an awesome collection.

Saw a grey SLS today, first one I´ve seen on the streets here in Stockholm.
The car looks so much better in the flesh on the street than on pics.
GREAT sound too...

Yeah, I saw one on Saturday do an illegal 3-point turn in the middle of 3rd St. in LA on Saturday in front of the Breadbar, causing a traffic back-up. Sort of mixed feelings in wanting to see it get t-boned for the owner being an idiot to pull that move, yet didn't want to see the car get damaged.

From the streets of Paris

And...the best looking car I've ever seen in person

I can't even imagine how painful it must be to drive a stiff Ferrari on cobblestone.

Okay, the Italia is growing on me. Certainly much prettier than any other current Ferrari.

i always wondered about that. in california (a place i assume has one of the higher densities of supercars) there are so many speed bumps and dips (even more jarring) that can cause massive undercar damage.

hell even that topgear in paris (the one with the ford/ferrari/zonda) they had trouble getting the cars out of a normal parisian pay garage.

458 FTW. Amazing. Thats the first one Ive seen in the wild. Was it all it seems in the pics?

Driving a supercar in Paris would be an absolute nightmare.
