    I ran across this site a while ago. The idea being that Exotic cars are nicer on the streets than they are in a showroom. People "spot" these cars, take pictures, and they get uploaded by the site owner, with your name, and story behind the picture. (all information is optional.) I have a picture there from a trip to Niagara Falls (Canada) a few years ago. So far, it's got a pretty good rating too.. Not that it matters any.

    Great site, Paxton007!! I love exotics....can't afford one:cry....but I still love'em! My all time favorite is the Lamborghini Countach, even though the Mercedes SLR ranks right up there too. The saddest moment of my life was when 'King Kong' (1976) was rampaging through a city and stepped right on a beautiful white Countach.:( He should have stepped on the 2 men that were standing near it and left that beautiful piece of machinery alone...damn ape!! Looking at all those low-slung beauties makes me want to go outside and just throw rocks at my 1994 Mercedes S500 and cuss it out for not being born a Countach!!:-D

    Honeymoon? Nah, we go to Canada from time to time is all.. It's just a hop, skip, and 5 hour drive away. LOL

    I didn't know they took Vipers on that site, Canada was littered with them at night. I never took any pictures. I did see one the other day though at a State Park, and submitted it, but the site hasn't updated in a while. I hope it does though.

    Thanks for the votes guys.

    I thought that the Ferrari California wasn't due out till the latter part of '09. Obviously, I've been mis-informed! Still, she is beautiful...any idea how much she'll cost? Not that that matters, because I can't afford one anyhow, but I am curious:confused However, as for that replacing the Countach as my favorite exotic, well even though she is beautiful , I think the Countach still has better styling.

    I don't think the California is out yet.. I thought I mentioned that..

    I guess you can't argue with Catherine Bach when it comes to cars.... right?

    Now that's what ya call flying at LOW altitude!!;) I've never seen that movie, but I love those opening credits!! Thanks for the clip!! Ya gotta admit, that is one beautiful, sleek hunk of Bach....I mean car:eek: BTW, you did mention that the California wasn't out yet....the problem was that my eyes were reading faster than my brain could comprehend, or something like that!! Oh the heck with it...I screwed up!! Sorry about that!!! Again, thanks for the clip!!

    Great site!
    I just love cars. In 1972 a friend of mine and me bought 2 MGB’s (1966) on an auction. Even though they were only 6 years old they were not in good condition so we got them cheap. We restored them and had a great time driving around in them. They were really fun to drive and we always caused a lot of interest when we arrived at a place together, which was often. I sold mine about a year and a half later but he started a collection of old sports cars. This is not a picture of our cars as I only took slides and I don’t have a scanner that can scan slides but I thought I would post it anyway.
