Once again, i love SoCal (56K beware)

[cardude03]

yeh, although i dont have much experience with the rest of the country, i dont know of many other places where you get to see 100K dollar cars atleast once a week. since i keep my camera in my glovebox, i take pix of some of the cars i see when i have enough time to actually get it out and take a pic. so enough with the words....

I saw this Ariel Atom today in the parkinglot where i work, so i took a couple pix.

and a gallardo i saw a long time ago, sorry for the shaky pic. i could have alot more pix of lambo's cuz we got one of the largest dealerships about 10 minutes from my house, so their always being test driven around my area.

NICE!!! is the Atom even street legal???

[evil-G-nius]

That Ferrari is not a F430, its a 599 Fiorano. Bad ass none the less! And that Lambo looks like a kit car to me...not original. Could be wrong though

[hsinya]

that atom with the f1 kit was at the weekly miata meet in west covina last week lol. i think he had the kit made in oregon.

they're street legal but you still have to get it inspected when you bring one over.

[fatal1]

cool cars

[devgrp]

Well when you live in NYC you get to see all those cars too and some. Even in the hood. I've seen a Maybach parked by the subway on my way to work :D

[9G]

nice.

What exactly is this one...
I'd sport it (Possibly With A Different Paint Job And Rims). Anyways, yeah it seems Cali has it's fair share of "Different" rides. I've seen Supras, Ferraris, and Lotus', but these ariels slash double sided mini cooper limos and what not are straight Mars...
:D

Shopping Cart in da parking lot! :shock: = scratch/dent on your ride

[mattalicslvr8g02]

I think that was originally a gto.. yea NY has its fare share of rides also... just a month ago I came home from my dads house and my mom told me my neighbor brought a new mustang and I was like cool and then I Hear this Italian roar come down my block and it is a frerrari f-355 and i was like Yea mom some mustang :? :lol:

[mindwerkz]

Doesn't the Atom have Top Gear's number one spot on the list of fastest street-legal cars? God I want one someday.

[cardude03]

yeh, i would think of course there are other places around the country where you can see the nice cars, but on top of that, we have amazing weather 98% of the time. some of the greatest beaches in the world, and it feels to me like i'm in the middle of everything. (ocean, mountains, desert, LA, San Diego, Las Vegas, etc etc). but i dont know if that stuff interests you guys, so i thought i'd just talk about the car part.

and kimya, i do believe you are right, not sure why i thought it was a 430.
but the lambo is original, what makes you think its a kit?



and john, this actually wasnt the first time i saw that atom, one time in Newport Beach about a year ago i think, i saw him drive by me on the other side of traffic, and i still knew what it was right away. so did you actually talk to the owner? when i got there, they owner had just left the car to go get lunch at the food court, and some of the guys who were still there taking pictures, told me he was wearing a helmet, lol. this is definately one car i'd have to put into my collection.

[9G]

go get 5 other friends and carry that atom car to your garage. :idea: :mrgreen:

[evil-G-nius]

Just something about it looks like a kit...the way the rear wheels are sitting ands the ride height....like I said I could be wrong but...just kinda looks like one to me. I mean I dont know what year that one is, but the spoiler is different, the accordian style mirrors, the exhaust placement, the lettering on the back is in the wrong spots from what I have seen...and they look crooked, plus there is a huge seam on those air ducts that I am thinking are not there on the originals...not to mention the fact that the air ducts are enormous Take a look at these to see what I mean

Here is 1979 LP400

hahaha, man, i'm wayy out of it, i thought you were talking about the gallardo! hahaha, i see what your saying, yeh, it could be a kit, but it also says 5,000 on the back, and has a paper plate from the dealership near my house, i dont know much about that model, but those scoops are lookin kinda weird.

[6G72gearhead]

When you frequently bum around with the local porche, lambo, Ferrari, Lotus, and Vector tuners you get to see alot of that stuff. The other week I got to see a Ferrari F360 Challenge Stradale, that was pretty bitchin'. I also saw a Triple black Gallardo. Next weekend I go to Topeaka to co-drive a Porche 911 RS.

[Reelax]

yup. socal is the supercar capitol of the world. there are probably more exotics and high end lux cars registered in california that the rest of the world combined.

[evil-G-nius]

Yeah I meant the Countach...sorry! LoL I forgot about the Gallardo in their cuz they are not rare enough to remember! LOL


I saw this one day on the way home from work...a black on black Murcielago. Sorry for the pic...took it with the cell

It looks like a bmw 3 series cabriolet that's had some custom work to make a roadster.[/i]

[evil-G-nius]

looking at the tail lights, I am thinking its a CLK of some sorts...the other impression I got was it was a BMW 6 series...maybe.....what the fuck is that thing!? :?

[Jeffylou87]

^^ The back is a GTO and the front is a SAAB..


I would have sex with that supra if I could..

[evil-G-nius]

^^ The back is a GTO and the front is a SAAB

I can see that...but the interior is too nice for either of those cars...still have no effin clue what this thing is...other than ugly! :?

GTO all the way.....

[evil-G-nius]

Saw a Spyker shootin North on the 101 on the way home from work the other day. Couldnt take a pic because it was on the other side of the freeway. For those of you that dont know what a Spyker is....

[VIPtint]

yep its a gto. custom car for vertical doors in corona. and that black murcielago is an lp640, the best lambo you can get. we get rides like these comin in most of the time cause my neighbor owns a viper shop, and all the exotics go to him and he doubles our price and brings them in.

u know that exotics dealership near my pad sells those... i think they have one in the showroom right now.

[evil-G-nius]

^^^ Yeah they had a black one for the longest...oddly enough the one I saw on the freeway was black. Check to see if they sold it...not too many places sell em!

[cardude03]

man, that spyker is sick!! my friend spotted a bugatti veyron getting onto the freeway about a week ago. and coincidently, some guy on SoCalEvo spotted a veyron on the 405 about a week ago as well, and he even got a picture of it.

today i saw some crazy modded boxster, with a huge wing, but i dont really like boxsters. i also saw an old woody-style mini from the 60's, i was gonna take a pic, but i was in a hurry to get to a customers house.

[n3oAcid24]

I would have sex with that supra if I could..



oh shit this made me laugh out loud for real man....

[ricky_db]

nice but how do you open the doors? :shock: :?:

[n3oAcid24]

shit.... for as much as you pay for that fucker they better open themselves...

[evil-G-nius]

*Seth*

Nah..it was just sitting there...someone owned it but they were letting the dealership use the car for display.

Yeah I love that Seat too...bad ass little car. You can shoot down to Mexico and pick one up. I think that is how this one got here...hell I have even seen a VW Lupo on the road...also from Mexico

[Reelax]

so i was playing w/ this POS on the way to work. we have about the same horsepower but he wieged probably about 1200 lbs. less which is why he can hit 0-60 in 4.1 secs.:

http://raniworld.com/raaa/POSexige.jpg

for those of you that don't recognize it, it's a LOTUS EXIGE S (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=117693 ) and it is as fast as a ferrari f430 but turns better. look at how HUGE the rear under diffuser is!

[9G]

what a ricer. haha, i meant racer.

That one with the Lambo in the mirror is the best 8)
