I live in upstate NY, and I took a little drive up by Lake Ontario today. There's usually a good deal of nice cars around that area, but today blew me away!  I saw no fewer than 8 or 9 Corvettes (mostly of the previous generation), several previous gen Mustang convertibles, as well as one new GT convertible, and a 350Z. Now here are the really good ones:

-'66 Mustang convertible (red)
-Jaguar XK convertible (green)
-Dodge Viper convertible (black)

-not too good with automotive history, so these years are just guesses:

-mid-60's Pontiac GTO
-mid-60's Camaro SS

Needless to say, I had trouble keeping my eyes on the road. I wish I could share pics with you guys, but alas, no digital camera.

I know. I already said why I can't have any. I didn't really expect replies, just wanted to tell you all about it.   B)

Over the last few days, I've seen a new Mustang GT convertible, two Lexus SC430s, a restored '55 Bel Air, and two current GTOs (one with the 05 hood).

I have seen Jaguar XJR, Lexus SC430, Bentley Continental GT, and a Rolls Royce Phantom.  Didnt have my camera with me though.

Today I saw a Ferrari, not sure what kind though.  I heard a tremendous exhaust, looked up, and it blew past me.  My jaw dropped as I muttered a few times, "That's a f***in Ferrari!"

In the past week I've seen:
2 Bentley Continental GTs
Yellow Ferrari 355 about 2 minutes after the first Bentley
The same Maserati Quattroporte twice
late 80's Porsche 911, I was driving next to him for about 5 minutes with my window down listening to the exhaust.   B)
Porsche 944 Turbo
2 C6 Corvettes

only one pic:



2016 Volkswagen GTI (Aug 2015 - Present)
2008 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg (Aug 2011 - Aug 2015)
2003 Saab 9-3 2.0t (Oct 2007 - Aug 2011)
1990 Nissan Maxima SE (July 2003 - Oct 2007)

Oh, and yesterday some guy at the local ball park sat in his new Vette revving up the engine.  Stupid, but man did it sound good.

I saw that Shelby GT two seater sports car thing, what is the name of it? You could hear its exhaust from a mile away.

Saw a nice 70s Mercedes 280SL convertible, perfect condition, and parked with the top down. Stunning inside and out. Also a black CLS, from a distance.

Was it a Shelby Cobra?

Saw some decent cars in the Auto Show In Motion parking lot today, only worth mentioning because I snapped quick pics.  :lol:

New RL:


New Mustang:


WRX STi:


And right after leaving, a CLS500:

I love the STi, but the gold rims aren't my thing.  I still think the RL looks good. Nice pics, and good catch with the MB.

Oh yeah, and that's a V6 Mustang, not a GT. (notice the single exhaust, 16" wheels and sport tape)  I finally caught you saying something wrong! YES! A minor victory for all who have been corrected by ifcar.   B)

Nice pictures, ifcar!

I saw a RR from about 32 like this one:



Sadly, I didnt have my camera, so I was caught without a pic.  The car was a beauty though.  I saw a Bentley Continental GT, a Porsche Turbo S, and a nice Rolls from about 1990.
