Ok, lets try starting up another one... spot a rare car? DC is a great spot for it, lots of money, power, and disgregard for FFX cops.

I don't like you any more.... I really need to see that car!
BTW, I though the torq would be higher... Just need to reflash it with the lambo firmware

I'll see if I can dig up the cell phone photos I took of a Maybach 52 on the beltway last year. Or maybe the Bentley Continental GT (also on the beltway).

Yea, I've got a couple MP camera in my phone, but the first time I saw the R8 it was on the airport lanes, and yesterday the jerk wouldn't let me get in behind him, insisted on letting me in front of him as I tried to merge! What a jerk!

Awesome idea! I have a fuzzy cell phone picture of this thing that looked like a cross between an Toyota MR2, Lotus Exige, and Opel Speedster.
It's to operate a camera phone and drive at the same time.

Just don't spot any RS200s. My girl might go on a rampage if she knew there was one in the country and near enough for her to hack and slash her way to one.

lol, a guy I worked with briefly at NASA had one, although it needed a LOT of work... would have been awesome if it had been running

Considering they need an engine rebuild every 3k miles... they ALWAYS need a lot of work. But yeah Allie is absolutely OBSESSED with RS200s. You aren't still in contact with the guy that owns it are you? Even if I just drove her out there so she could look at it in person it'd get her positively giddy.

Nope, I haven't seen/heard from the guy in 2 years

A BMW E86 M. Is that rare? I haven't seen one around here before and was racing one over the weekend.

I saw a yellow Gallardo in Columbia, MD over the weekend. Does that count as rare? We went past too quickly so no photos - not even shaky, out-of-focus cell phone photos.

Silver RS4 looked brand new in Sterling. Even though they are overpriced and not that fast, they are nice.

There's a red (white stripes) Ford GT lurking around the Woodbridge area.

I saw a silver RS4 parked outside the Corcoran art gallery last Sunday.

I can match that. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I saw an R8 in Newtown, PA. Got a few (crappy) camera phone shots, too.
That's a hot looking car!
