2013 NY Tri-State Spotters Thread

One of my new years resolutions is to rededicate more time to my car hobby -- and, what better way to begin 2013 than to kick start the NY Tri-State Spotters Thread?


Looking forward to an excellent year with a ton of likeminded car fanatics!

 

Where's the Spot Kenny? Who's got the first exotic spot of the new year?

 

Audi R8 V10 in Red @ GrilleStone Bar & Grill Scotch Plains, NJ

 

Shelby Cobra Continuation Series out in front of Miller Motorcars this afternoon.

 

How about a "spot" of the new addition to the Kenny H garage, still waiting to see it!!!

 

Lots of work going on at Lamborghini of LI. The white and copper Aventadors are still there, though (I have no use for the black one that was there a couple of weeks ago . . .)

 

Maserati Grancabrio on the 2nd in Livingston.
Maserati QP yesterday in Verona.

 

Black Lamborghini on 25A in Northport around 11 last night.

 

Orange Murci or Av yesterday in or near Oyster Bay (parked on 106).

White 458 Spider enjoying the choppy terrain on the Roslyn viaduct last night.

Black Tesla sedan humming on LIE eastbound this morning.

 

Red 458 Italia heading north on Merritt from Long Ridge Road exit around 3:15 today.

 

rosso scuderia California sunday afternoon, park ave and 20s..

 

Considering all goes as planned with a nearby garage, I'm hoping that there'll be many-a-360 Spider sightings in and around NYC very soon.

 

Black 550 on Henry Hudson Pkwy earlier today. Later saw an early, rough, 912 with a big roof rack.

 

Rosso 360 Spider right behind mine on Wolf Hill Rd in Melville, Sunday afternoon. He had the top down, but I didn't.

 

Spotted a pair of Japanese exotics in Paramus today: red GTR and blue NSX ; also a white Corvette Grand Sport, so there's a red, white and blue trio.

 

I'm not sure I'd call Japanese cars exotics. nice spot on the Vette.

 

I wouldn't consider Japanese exotics either, but it's been a while since I've seen anything remotely exotic.

 

Unless vintage, I don't consider maserati's exotic either but they seem to get posted in these threads....also a car at a dealer shouldn't "count" as a spotted car vs one driving on the street but they get posted here often. Oh well, it's all in fun- given some of the things posted sometimes I post cars that are more impressive to me than say a maserati, like last year (2012) when I saw a vintage 600SEL 6.3 in Manhatten- that turned my head!

OK, I'll admit the Maserati Quattroporte with what must have been a Tubi exhaust driving on Broadway a couple of days ago turned my head and was enjoyable to hear as the driver deliberately revved it up- the sound off the NYC buildings was music! I guess I'm guilty as charged of breaking my own "Spotter's Thread standards" and in the same post as my mini rant even

One more 2013 spot was last weekend on route 46 in Parsippany a black 458 coupe.

 

An LF-A would be nice to spot in the wild.. I've yet to see one driving on the streets.

 

Me either, likely because many people with $400,000 to spend on a car don't want a Lexus. My $0.02.

 

Aside from the NYIAS last year, I've seen one LFA: the owner of Prestige autos owns it. He had it at Prestige Lexus last year. Our salesman told me it has 0 miles on it. What a waste, because that car produces an incredible sound.

As far as what the "standards" are for this thread, it should just be whatever we feel is worthy, right? To me, seeing a GTR or Merc SL55 doesn't turn my head the way a Z06 or 911 Turbo would. Just my opinion.

 

Red 458 southbound wantagh pkwy yesterday at noon.

 

An LMA would be even cooler.

Or an M1. I'm still on the lookout for an M1.

Time for a "Spots Wanted" thread?

 

Spotted a silver F12 today driving through Tenafly NJ. It still had its shipping plastic wrap on some body panels.

 

That is a cool post, I've never seen one of those yet.
