Sorry, a 911 isn't rare.
Saw a white Aston Martin Vantage last night. I wonder how much he spent on winter wheels and tires?

I beg to differ 2011 GT2RS #456 of 500 and Cost $300,000+ new compared to The vantage that they make 3000 of a year and cost roughly $110,000. The carbon black V12 vantage on the other hand that's a whole nother beast

I didn't say the Aston costs more.
Just yankin' yer chain anyway. I'm constantly suprised that I see as many 911s as I do, they're like Hondas in NoVA. And they're damn expensive, even in "base" trim.

Don't ever buy an Aston. Lease it.

I have not seen anything over there that is auto related that isn't more expensive...

I priced a US spec 911S. To get the same level of equipement as my 135i I had to add over $20k in
options. I think that's crazy. I almost expected to see rust-proofing and undercoating check boxes...

Saw a dark grey Ferrari FF over the weekend. Odd color choice, but then again grey doesn't show dirt and the FF just might be his winter beater.

Like a Ferrari sitting at a stop light:
AWESOME.
I can't wait for it to warm up so the guy that lives up the hill will start driving his 599 again. Coming down the hill by my place he downshifts twice as he gets to the stoplight.

I passed an R34 Skyline on a delivery truck heading south on 95? WFT? It was in the middle of the truck. There was an Audi an old 240 SX and a couple other cars on the truck. I figured it's heading to Fla.

The FF just came down the street, downshifting at the stoplight at the bottom of the hill just like the 599. I wonder if it's the same owner? I wonder if he traded? I wonder if he'd let me wash it?

A lucky person took their red F430 Spyder out for a spin today. They neglected to put the top down or to call ahead so I could have a camera ready.
I really need to mount a web cam on the patio...

The TS wagon is a Base Model. Introduced in 2002 and went up to 2005 or 06 I think. Then everything became known as 2.5i Base, Premium and Limited.

It's spring time in Weisbaden: the birds are chirping and the exotic cars are coming out of winter storage. In the past week I've seen 2 Bentleys, 2 Maseratis, an Aston Martin, an R8 and a black Ferrari California (top down).
Zak, you really need to visit when the weather is nicer.

Deal.
Maybe I can stuff some other members in my suitcase too.
