    Hehe you're welcome Elijah! Nice finds. I passed a Brown RR Phantom on Cobb Parkway yesterday but come to quick to snag a pick. I had never seen a RR in the color it was painted.

    Do you guys just roam the city with a camera? I've lived here for 25 years and any of these cars are pretty rare sightings. Some of the pics I recognize being pretty close to where I live too. I saw a titanium 599 yesterday afternoon just off Riverside and that was the first time I've seen one on the road.

    :) Basically...

    Extremely excited to pick up my new car today - provided by my employer, of course... ah the perks of working for a car company. Anyone want to buy a GTI? :)

    Nice. Quite a step up from the GTI. Who knows, maybe we'll start photographing you.

    Enjoy in good health.

    Thats near where I go to school, I see kids from that area getting dropped off at school in M-series BMW's, Royces and more. And don't let me get started on what us upperclassmen drive to school.

    Now, for the spots, The 599, Maser, and the Range in the mirror were seen upon entrance at Phipps Valet. And the Ferrari's & Aston Vaquish S were seen on the exit.

    Hey guys, since i'm new here I just figured i'd share some of my network. Check out youtube.com/statjr Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe. FYI, I also have footage of that Blue aston on the end and more on my page.

    If anyone lives in or near the Gainesville area, keep your eye out for a new 458, one of my customers who lives up there, took delivery earlier this week!

    Oh, when you wish you had a camera.....

    I just got back from a late dinner at Hooters in Kennesaw; I nearly took the Ferrari (and probably should have) but decided at the last minute not to.

    Well, when I was done eating, I walked out, and what was sitting right next to my Honda? A red Ferrari 360 Challenge car, that's what! And this was not a Stradale, but a full-blown racer, with full roll cage, single racing bucket seat, full harness and a big fire bottle on the floor!

    It had a Georgia used car dealer tag but no racing-type markings like sponsor decals or number circles. I didn't go around trying to find out who belonged to it; does anyone here have any ideas?

    That's pretty awesome to see out in public. Was it running slicks?

    To tell you the truth, I didn't look, but since it was being driven on the street, I suspect not.

    That is awesome! I would go nuts if I saw a true challenge car driving down the road.

    I bit my tongue with the Audi S5, but blurry photos of dime-a-dozen, old body style BMW M3's and accident scenes?

    It seems this thread may have lost some of its standards.

    For every E46 M3 I see, probably about 50 corvettes and 30 Porsche 911s pass me by. And the "new" Pontiac GTO isn't particularly exciting. Why pick on the M3?
