Live in Silicon Valley & Work in Oakland..........

Saw a sweet Fiero Gt, a Regal on 26's with custom paint & matching rims, and a R8.

The Fiero GT caught me staring a fair bit longer than anything else.

Saw a 57 Jaguar at a Starbucks. Could not identify the model but it had a long hood and it was red.

Saw a really clean 90 2nd Gen Toyota 4Runner 2-Door in black. These are rare since they were subjected to the chicken tax when they were imported.

I doubt it could round a track, maybe in a straight line...

no, the mustang would take it. the maserati looks like brooklyn decker wearing only tanning oil but it's a heavy pig of a car around a track.


Do they not sell Abarth Esseesse in America?

they barely even sell the cinquecento here.

Yum, That's a 430, yes?

Edit: Holy shit, just noticed the stripe! is that a scuderia!?!

Scuderia.

Took a few pics though I was getting yelled at for doing it. The sound is amazing.

Blacked out C6 z06. Because it was the first time I've seen someone go WOT in one, and proceed to take off down an empty street.

Hmm I'll wait until it's been around the Top Gear track to comment.

That sucks, I like Fiat, they make some cool little cars, the Punto Abarth is pretty cool too.

I've seen a 2006 BMW 650i for sale near me for only £14k. Seems pretty cheap for a 4.8L V8 coupe with big leather seats, navigation, parking sensors, cruise control.

It's not the prettiest car in the world, but it looks quite imposing in metallic black with black leather interior.

That's a steal! I love those. It may not look perfect, but it's got presence.

I see an Audi R8 from time to time on my walk home from work. Tend to see Tesla Roadsters ever once in a while (saw one 3 days ago, actually).

And a few Maseratis here and there.

Oh, a Caymen as well.

A guy who owns a mortgage company in the same building drives an International MXT. Has it custom painted dark grey camo with the company logo on the side.

do those things really top out at like 85ish? im not a fan of "contractor trucks" for the most part.

same here, im usually too tired to do much more than drive lately.

Seen a chopped 32 Ford coupe earlier in the week. There is something about having the engine and suspension just hanging out there in the open.

Red Camaro SS on the way to work yesterday. Guy seemed to have upgraded the exhaust so it had a nice growl to it.

At least I hope he upgraded it, it was pretty rough sounding. It would be nice if that were a stock sound.
