The coolest car...
2006-05-23, 6:02 AM #1
What's the coolest car you've ever seen on the road? Not on TV or at a motor show or in a magazine or on a race track or anything, actually driving down or parked along a public road.

Post a picture, too!

Mine:

Ferrari F40. A true supercar. Spotted it pulling out from a side street while driving home from work a few days ago. Demanded my friend throw an illegal u-turn to go back for another look but he wouldnt :(

Aston Martin DB9

About a month ago just crusing along the main street as if he was in an Escort.

Same with Spe.

It was parked in a Sainsburies car park in Edinburgh when I was walking by.

:p How cheap is that?
nope.

Lamborghini Countach

or p'raps it was a Diablo, I saw it so quickly I couldn't tell
2006-05-23, 9:32 AM #5
I saw a Lamborgini Diablo when I was around ten. I pretty much needed new pants after that. I've seen a lot of Ferarris too.

I saw I car outfitted for the world cup.
It had grass all over it and a football (soccer for you Burgerboys) field painted on the grass.
I should take a picture of it, when I see it again.

I've seen many cool cars in person so I can't really say..

The coolest cars you see around here are restored classic cars that I have no idea what they are but they're damn beautiful.

The only cool modern car I've seen around here is a Highway Patrol Corvette.

Mazda RX-8. It was very fast. I'll try to find a pic.
Also, a guy at my work has an Eagle Talon. I think it's cool.

Heres the RX-8:

Normally I'd argue because I like this car, but you do have a point. :/

RX-8? My roommate has one. They're not really that fast relative to most sports cars. They do handle well though.
2006-05-23, 12:14 PM #21
Yeah, I pity you if the coolest car you've ever seen on the road is an RX-8.

Coolest I've seen driving around was a 1965 Shelby Cobra.
The coolest one I've driven was a 2000 BMW Z3 M Roadster.

Well, it looked neat, anyway! Tiburons are nice, too. And I saw a corvette yesterday, does that count?

Mustang too.

Bah!

pfft mustangs are a dime a dozen.

I saw a BMW 8 series on the freeway a few months ago (cant remember which one specifically).. Not really *that* special, but I like BMW's, and the 8 series was discontinued in '99 so it was a treat for me.

Would have looked something like this:

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

My next door neighbor pulled up in a Ferrari 360 Spyder. That kid was a complete ***, and seeing that killed the car, and nearly the company for me.

There's a Ferrari dealership up the street from the school, but I'd have to go with one of the new Corvette Z06's I saw driving by a few weeks ago.

I love Lotus, and I'd love to get an older Esprit when I get a little older and more well-off. I've also seen a few Porsche 911s, but for some reason I'll always like the 944 the most.

I'm hoping to get a Mustang soon, and though I agree they're "a dime a dozen" (a big reason I never liked them before), and certainly nothing compared to genuine sports cars, I love the new gen with all my heart.

BHP is amazing for a 1.3.

Yay for the Wankle [hehe] rotary engine!
nope.
2006-05-23, 2:17 PM #28
In terms of "every day" sports cars of the recent past I'd go with the F-body or the Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth.

You cant compare the size of a rotary to a piston engine, they're far too different.

But I agree RX-8s rule - Suicide doors!

It has cameras and a display in the dash so you dont need side or rear-view mirrors. Seriously.

The headlights are really thin and are mounted above the grille below the bonnet.

I was under the assumption that all vehicles driven on the road (in the US) were required to have side mirrors.

That's tight, but I think you meant hood. :p
2006-05-23, 3:14 PM #37
nope, its definately a bonnet.

its usually at the opposite end of the car to the boot.

And people in Hollywood see "supercars" all the time...and you probably see the castrated n/a version much more often. :p

A SW20 MR2 Turbo is, IMHO, an affordable near-supercar. Incredible handling capability, plenty of power and Toyota reliability. What more to ask? :)
woot!
