Nice Cars Vol. II


Recommended Posts

I started a thread like this a few months back asking everyone to tell stories about riding, driving in nice/fast cars - and alot of people posted some really cool stories and the thread got alot of attention -

Well I thought I'd restart it since just about 45 minutes ago I was parked next to a Maybach.

Ive never seen one on the road before and frankly never thought I would, but this lady was putting gas in hers , and so I parked at the next pump (I didnt need gas).

All I said was, "I never thought I would get to see a Maybach, your car is beautiful." She replied, "They are out there - Thank You, though"

When I came back out from getting a drink I asked her if it was OK if I looked inside, I told her, I wouldnt touch it." She smiled, "Be my guest.."

The curtains were closed somewhat, but I could see enough... Damn that thing was impressive.

2 hours earlier I was at my parents house, someone in their neighborhood has a Yellow Diablo, and I was pumped about seeing it -- after seeing the Maybach...I didnt care about the Diablo anymore...

Just thought I'd share this with everyone. :)

There are a fair few Bentley Continental GT's around about where I stay these days, so much so that I not hate the car and don't get excited about seeing it. But the first time I saw one, it drove by me in this really light blue color and I chased after it, just to get another glimpse. Wow, that got me excited! :D

But nothing will compare to when I was driving through my local village when out in front of me pulled a DB9 :o

It was so beautiful. A really nice silver colour, huge wheels, and the noise coming from it was amazing. I followed it for a fair while to try and get some pics on my camera phone but none of them turned out :(

This happend last year..

I was walking with my friends down town and then we saw this car. It was a shimmering in silver and ran off. I was like NO WAY, THAT's IMPOSSIBLE. Surely it was true. That shimmering car was an Aston Martin DB7.

I have to say the DB9 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. There is a Continental GT that parks infront of where i work sometimes, another beautiful car, but i think i'd rather have the DB9.

A few months ago, cruising around back streets of the North End, in Boston. My cousin and I drove behind a 2004 Bentley Continental. It had to be some celebrity. I almost **** myself.

I was infront of a 2003 Lamborghini [something] once.

A Ferrari Maranello was driving through an intersection as I was walking, and it shot flames or sparks out of the muffler. And it sounded like a jet on the ground. Also in the Boston area.

I got more..

I hate the Maybach. I think everybody likes them just because they are expensive and gaudy. It's like making your car seats out of Gucci fabric. It's extremely ugly, but people know you paid a lot for it. I'd take the Diablo over it any day.

Anyway, I'm in Philadelphia and Harrisburg a lot so I see a lot of nice cars in these two cities as well as on the commute between those two places.

the french teacher at my school has a bentley arnage, a range rover on rims, and some $150,000 benz. she drives the bentley and the rover to school. supposedly she used to have a hummer h2 as well, and her husband has a porsche and some other stuff. he's a rich indian dude.

Oh man, you're making me hungry for Italian now...

I was walking towards Boston Common one time when I saw a car that looked like a race car that somehow left the track. It was so low to the ground and I had never seen anything like it. Everyone was staring as it drove by and as it passed me I looked at the license plate: "MCLRNF1" (or something to that effect, I don't remember it exactly but it was a McLaren)

I'm so jealous, I want to see a McLaren F1 :cry:

This thread pays homage to my statement that there are too many Continental GT's in the world! I forgot to say, I saw a black H2 with giant chrome wheels in Glasgow a month or two ago. This might not mean anything to some American people, but they are not very common on the streets of Scotland :p Apparently it belongs to Peter Lovenkrands, a Danish guy that plays football(soccer) for Rangers (the best team in Glasgow ;) )

Ya know, I cant say if I have a preference. I mean when I say the Maybach, I was shocked - and it was nice - but if I saw an McLarenF1 - hmmmmm?

In may parents neighborhood of maybe 60 homes you see a little of everything:

V12 AMG Benz, Rolls-Royce, Lambos, hell - the kids drive the Hummers - yes its that pathetic

One thing I hate - and this is from personal experience and I cant be persuaded another way -----BMWs

They are the biggest pieces of sh!t on the road, I had one in high school it was junk - my mother had an 850ci - the gear shift came off in her hand !! - I hate them and laugh and people that like them - kinda like Mustang owners - they just dont know any better - except the BMW owners dont live in trailer parks....

Yeah, seeing the McLaren F1 on the road was a life altering experience...haha. If I had one I doubt i'd be driving through the narrow streets of Boston though.
