Rare Car Spotted!

[zaxrex]

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe in front of the Mayflower across the street.
It is actually kinda ugly in person. But then again, how much beauty can you buy for $400,000?

[Mr Kleen]

It's not about beauty, it's about getting people to notice you have a $400,000 car.

[Mr Kleen]

spotted a classic Chrysler Imperial on 8th street Sunday night. never did see the owner. it was very clean but not so clean that it looked like a restoration, I think this one's a survivor.

As much as I don't like to admit it, this car makes a lot of sense considering the way I drive. I just wish it had two little back seats instead of what appear to be storage bins.

I really liked the look of it.

I floated around it so I could get a few good angles on it (was on 234 bypass), and I gotta say, it looks sharp.
I instantly noticed it. The styling is strangely aggressive (like in an evo x meets r8 meets civic sort of way - yeah, I can't explain it).

I looked up some stats on it, and that's when I was more disappointed. 10 sec 0-60 isn't that great, considering a prius gives you that and a lot more mpg.
Although the 5th gear review (iirc) said it handled 'fun' for what it was.

Saw a black CR-Z on the Greenway today. As a former owner of a CRX, MEH!

It's a bit outer-spacy.

I'm sure it'll be very love-hate.

VAG HQ in Herndon. Did it say "HQ" on the left side of the plate? There's an RS6 Avant here too...not sold in USDM. I've also seen a Veyron convertible, also with HQ tags

I don't remember seeing the HQ on the tags but wasn't looking too closely as it went by weaving through traffic. Wish I had gotten a pic of it. Very nice car even though overpriced.

1980 Lotus Esprit in Tysons.

passed a black Panamera Turbo on the toll road today. They look nice in person...pictures though, BLEH.

They've got a few on the lot at the dealer on Rt 1 and Glebe in Arlington. I'm torn.

[Mr Kleen]

I've seen several in person (1 turbo and a few non). I think it looks exactly like the pictures. If you like the Cayenne you'll probably like the Panamera.

I saw one a year and a half ago at the Stuttgart airport and thought it looked good (that was passing it at about 100...). It doesn't look terrible to me in person but I do think they missed the boat on what could have been a killer design. I'm more interested in the thought of supercar performance and four doors....

I realize that a Prius is not a rare car, but you certainly won't find this semi-homemade version around often...

First off, I apologize for the really crappy quality of the picture. But I'm not sure what to make of this (clearly) viral marketing campaign. The van is painted up to look like a franchised zombie eradication service (kinda like an exterminator). The company is called "Wuz Dead" and it's web site is http://www.888wuzdead.com .

If you check it out, it's a real website for a supposed zombie killing service. Any guesses on what this could be?

Upon further examination of the web sit, it looks like a T-shirt company with a very expensive guerilla marketing campaign.
