1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

i've seen one too, it was on the side of the road when i lived in indiana; about a year ago. It was red, and it was also for sale. I dunno about the year though.

some other rare and sweet cars i've seen are:
a shelby cobra, the guy who owned it lived just down the block from where i lived (probably a replica)
a viper R/T-10, at a neiborhood car show
an MG midget, also down the block from where i lived
a maserati Quattroporte II
and even a DiTomaso Pantera
plus i get to walk past a Porsche Boxter on my way back and forth from school everyday


here's the maserati i saw (the one i saw was black though)

Does it have to be driving on the road, or can it be from a dealer? From a dealer, I'm not sure(I've tons of super expensive stuff that I don't know much about). But on the road, a Porsche 959 sport version! Only 26 in the world! I also got to sit in it(the owner was really nice)!

Yes, here for about the 30% of the cars are volkswagen, but they aren't the good ones, there are only Polo (recently introduced), derby (its like a seat cordoba), pointer (like a little golf), golf, and jetta, and the Sedan that is now out of production. well there are also lots of caribe, brasilia, atlantic, etc. I dont like them much.

Atlanta, Georgia, Vipers are really common if you look closely enough, the Saleen S281 and Viper are prolly the two most commonly seen high performers here.

oh! and I also see the 911 carerra, and if lucky, I see a 911 turbo,also NSX are pretty common, I've also seen two fiats.

we once had a rolls come into work an older model (i cant pick them) and he wanted baby seat restraints added too it. seen a few lotus elises (which is really uncommon with australia only getting 30 as a record annauly) as well as some impressive itallian machinary here ferraris and all that sort of stuff.
For the american arm we have a few new mustangs around here as well as a salen convertable (made my jaw drop first sallen mustang i ever saw!) As well as some beautiful example of the older ones as well a many vettes and other such imported gear.

But for the best it will have to be the GT falcon my old man owns I love it to death! its a beautiful car and my old man still talks about the drag races against the rolls and a lot of american and austrlain machinary hes burnt off before and ill never get tired of its soulful v8 grunt:cool:

I guess I'd have to say the Aston Martin Vanquish. A few more come close, but I've only ever seen one Vanquish, so its more rare in my mind :)

In West Vancouver, if you've ever been there :) It's a pretty rich population for 40,000 residents, actually I've heard its the richest residential population in North America outside of Carmel, California. There's even a couple of billionaires in West Van. Too bad I'm not one of them :(

Tough decision, I have seen 3 Bugatti Type 41 Royales, both Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantics, both Duesenberg SSJ's, and the Duesenebrg Arlington Torqedo Sedan, all of which are great cars. Oh, I have also seen plenty of Ferrari's, dozens of 250 California Spyders, a 250GTO...

Well today wheni went in for my job interview at the BMW dealer i sat in the dealer for like 20 mins and i sat therewhile they were parking a Z5 (i dont know if i got that right) roadster which actually had quite a nice v8 rumble too it I was also shocked by how much the guy parking it was revving it and how poorly he reversed it even with help:eek: I was then later referd to the used show room and was greeted by numbers used bimmers and during the interview the guy who ran the used showroom was telling me that while in this job if i do get it ill be driving cars worth $100 he said while pointing around the back where no one could see to $250,000 he said while pointing too a used BMW in the showroom I have no idea what it was but itwas flash it had electric everything! leather all over the joint and that neat steering wheel sports shift. What shocked me was a used car worth 250k thats a 2-3 bedroom house in a somewhat out of the way place here! it would be a fun job :D ill have to behave though.
Also on the way back I was eyeing off one of those supercharged v8 jags. And while this might not be a huge achievment I was aloud to get up close and personal with a 350Z nicer cars when very up close and inside their great the only thing i dodnt like was that i couldent figure out how to readjust the seat so it was a fair reach to get to the pedals i didnt drive it I just looked allround it and sat init trying out the clutch and had a good gawk.
