Isn't that amazing? People's reactions to things like that...
It's like people have seen one too many ww2 movies and just went off the deep end.

I facepalm when I see people get stuck in the "nazi bad" regurgitation loop.
Going down that path, people who make plastic ww2 models including german vehicles with era appropriate markings, are nazis.

I've seen actual nazi paraphernalia all over the place in poland. Not a single time did anyone read into it. I'm actually blown away by how taboo that subject is here, considering history. (I have the impression it's more taboo in germany.)

I hope that guy doesn't have all his restoration effort wasted by some enraged movie goer.

I saw a yellow Gallardo on the way into Winchester for the AR Fab dyno day, then coming back saw a red F430 Sypder on 66 on the way into DC.

I saw an honest-to-god slant nose pull out of a secret driveway in crystal city.

:boner:

Maybe it was meeting up with the other bad guys going after Condorman!

I love the slant noses...very hot!

Saw an Aston Martin DB9 on the beltway this afternoon. That is one HOT car.

Today's beltway sightings ... (sorry for the large pics ):

A Maserati GranTurismo



And most exciting of all ... a freakin' Alfa Romeo 8C!!!



--Alan

SHUT THE UP! did it have local plates? I must see one in person.

Couldn't tell. I guess I lied about it being on the beltway - it was actually on route 29. It was headed south while I was going north. Too fleeting to catch the plates.

--Alan

oooh, that is a cool spot Alan.

A couple more spotted's over the weekend ...

Saw a silver Ferrari 348 Spyder (similar to this photo):



Also saw a Citroën CX 23 Prestige on the highway (again, couldn't get a photo of it):

The Alexandria Porsche dealer has a dark blue RS GT3 sitting out front.

edit: oops, I mean GT3 RS

I guess I'll have to take that way home tonight...

1947 Citroën Traction Avant in my in-laws shop now.



Runs great. Just doing minor stuff to it.

Aston Martin DBadasS outside the Mayflower hotel.
Was waiting for this hot as snot girl to come out (him, not me), and as if the car wasn't conspicuous enough for her to pick out of the taxi line, instead of honking he blipped the throttle.
Everyone looked, even the motorcycle cop across the street.

A blue Tesla on the toll road this week on the way home. Wasn't too fond of the blue on it...looked much worse than in this pic:

I saw a beige Prius last week. I would have posted sooner but I forgot about it.

bentley continental gt. 95N around exit 140. Florida tags.

Saw this Lamborghini coming home the other night on the Beltway, didn't take him long to get away.

I saw what I think was a Bentley Continental Flying Spur (it was a 4 door Bentley, that much I'm sure of) waiting in front of me at the light on the 6th St SE exit. by the time I got my iPhone unlocked the light turned green.

Finally got a shot at that R8 that lives near me. Sorry for the blurryness. Forgot I had it on the macro setting.

this morgan was driven to a cross dressing cricket match in the uk. it was very sweet.



saw this chevy truck at the imperial war museum - it had been abandoned in the desert in wwii and just sat there and baked. it was puled out in the 80's or 90's, as i recall. it was pretty sweet to see how preserved it was.



more random stuff from UK trip here (sadly did not line my trip up to overlap with any world cup games :/): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... 224ddabbeb
