Dino_Martini's spotted thread

[dino_martini]

So, I'm hoping creating a thread like this is A-OK. Anyway, I figure since all I do is spot random cars I would create one thread instead of creating a new thread everytime. These aren't the rarest cars on the road, but they are still worthy of a gigantic spotting thread IMO.

Nice spots.

Makes it easier to see them when they all park crooked or in two spots hey lol

[dino_martini]

Yeah, that or they just sort of stick out. Like the 370z stuck out and then bam the Camaro was right behind. Maybe I just have a good eye for it. :dunno:

I wish my spots could all be MC12's and Carrera GT's...but that just isn't realistic lol

The F150 Raptor is in at Metro Ford. $55k.

So sick.

[Eleanor]

Damn, that first gen Camaro :drool:

Raptor ain't looking too bad either, but $55k? :eek:

Yeah 55k, I didn't ask if there was any dealer mark up. For 55k, you may as well wait for the Raptor with the 6.2 this spring.

[Eleanor]

I'll take a 6.2 Raptor Crew in white please :D

Audi R8 today

[Graham_A_M]

That Raptor is Fords off-road baja oriented pick up isn't it?

I remember reading something about plans to make such a truck quite some time ago.

Yep, Ford's Baja truck. But I hear its not too bad at slow off roading either.

Ford is the first manufacturerer to go directly to the aftermarket and offer Fox Racing internal bypass shocks on a factory truck.

Its a sweet truck, 55k is a lot of money though.

[Graham_A_M]

^ Yeah that is a very very "balls-ey" move. Im very surprised they released it. But yeah if I had the spare cash kicking around for a truck I'd sport one in a heart beat.

Nice pics. Anymore pics of the lady in the Ferrari?

I didn't walk back that far. My mom works in that building and I was meeting her for lunch. Saw the Bentley. Across the wall there were like 3-4 cougars who gave me a really strange look when I took a picture and walked away so non chalantly.

I'll look next time lol

[dino_martini]

I have a feeling that the spots will become few and far between pretty soon

someone in my condo building has one of these, it's growing on me, slowly but surely as I see it every single morning.

[HungryJack]

Was that the F-150 Raptor??

I thought it only came in the oranngey-red color...


Either way, it's badass.


Obviously not the fanciest ride in the thread, but I'd love one.

Yep F150 raptor.

They come in white, blue, orange, black. With or without the decal package.

I know Maclin had two on the lot about three weeks ago. Metro ford had one sitting in the showroom about a month ago as well. So they will definitely start popping up in Calgary.

I would love an SVT Raptor as well...but I'd like one more if it had the 6.0 in it.

[jdmSiR]

wicked thread so far!

Hellll yes. It would suck to have to wait until next year, but I figure that wait would be worth it.

I have not seen an Acura NSX in so long. This was actually the first car I fell in love with. Its funny how the exterior didn't really change all that much from the original generation. And as I took this people walking by still gave it a second glance.

Wow nice, I haven't see one of those facelifted NSXs in person before. good spot!

[Jeremiah]

Good thread!

[dino_martini]

So earlier I predicted that the spots would be fewer and fewer. But I've actually spotted more nice cars in the past say, 2 weeks than I have in a while.

I didn't have my phone out in time to grab pics of:
F430 Scuderia (Same one posted earlier in the thread)
tons of Bentley Continentals
Blue Lamborghini Gallardo

But I did catch these:

Yep, I live kind of near Westhills and I'm down town fairly often. This isn't really relevant, but to put it in the words of Dr Dre "I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock".

Some how every time I'm out I run into something interesting.

That car is boss.

[X_EVO_X]

this thread is sweet

[beyond_ban]

I am pretty sure that 350z was originally blue but the owner kitted it and painted it pearl. If it is the same one, it is completely stock under the hood and fairly poorly taken care of and the owner works at future shop. If not, disregard my post.

That car is always at MRU. I usually park around it in the back.

[beyond_ban]

Ya it looks amazing from the outside, and i could be completely mistaken there is probably more then just one like that in town. The guy used to work at northland future shop in audio i believe... I was shocked when i got a look at the engine bay.
