    That’s how they drive here in GA. Almost guaranteed they were watching ticktock and never saw it coming.

    I was polite and respectful and apologetic.  I received a warning.  
    I'm normally not much of a speeder but must've been a bit randy in Albuquerque ('87-'92), got pulled over nine times but only got warnings.  Never underestimate the value of placing your Driver's License under your military ID.  
    I've lived here in UT for 28 years now, only got two tickets, one summer, within six weeks of each other.  So glad my insurance agent never heard about them.

    And here I thought the exchange rate may have tempered the purchases-not a bit right there.
    Great show and pics.  Thanks for the post.  Livin large in the GWN-as it should be!

    The white Lamborghini at the side of the road was asked to rev it up by my granddaughter. The guy obliged, the car shut down and wouldn’t start😳
    Embarrassing for him in front of all those other owners 
    There were 2 1/2 blocks of cars on display, all exotics.  Not Naples Fl but still a good showing for around here

    Posted this car before, but saw it again today.  Probably one of my favorite models of all time.  Love poorly weighted, insanely powerful, and awesome sounding american muscle.

    Somehow, I can’t imagine owning a car like this and parking it as this individual has, indiscriminately sandwiching it between the likes of us plebs. 
    Assuming it's not a lease which most are, to the person that owns that car it's the equivalent of you and I buying a new tv. Ya it would suck if it gets a knick or scratch but they will just trade it in for a new model if something happens to it and go in their merry way with their new $4k lease payment.

    Those Calvo Vipers are insane. Streetspeed717 had his Snakeskin ACR converted a year or so ago. I think it was too much car for him. I want to say he was under 2,000 HP. I couldn't imagine the 3,000+ HP builds Calvo does.

    I can get the mindset that anyone who owns a car like this can also afford the repairs, it’s just a foreign mentality to me. 

    I don’t know a single individual who drives cars of this caliber here that leases them - or not that they admit to, anyway. 🙃

    There are significant tax advantages to leasing them.  I watched a YouTube video on it once (Vinwiki episode I think) that walked through it.  I don't necessarily agree nor endorse that practice, but supposedly there is a method.

    My own proclivity is to buy toys.  I was raised that toys should be bought, not financed.  However, if my accountant could show me that leasing would save me a significant amount of money, then I would consider it.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    With the wealthy currently using exotics as a store of wealth and prices rising, I have trouble believing leasing would be advantageous at present. A contact of mine just bought a car in the $300K range and reports he could sell it used for a $60K profit easy. But no first hand experience here; I just view the show from the cheap seats, FWIW.

    I suspect much depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how many miles you'll put on it, etc.  In normal times, most of the exotics are depreciating pretty steeply right out of the lot.  Then some actually start to appreciate, like some of the older Porsches and a few others.  But these are not normal times so who knows.

    Many times when I think I see in exotic car in the distance I realize it's some version of a Hyundai as it gets closer.

    Yes that one gets me almost every time.  Or the new Corvettes.  Look like an Italian supercar. I'm getting used to those though.

    A Stinger damn near IS a supercar, and I'd say the new Corvettes definitely are.

    Saw this one earlier at the car wash. Rolls coupe waiting for its weekend detail. 
    Hope it was hand washed if not what kind of genius takes a half million dollar car to the drive through wash? I guess the answer is a genius that has more money than sense.

    More $$$ than sense… When it came out I was like oh no 😫🤦🏼‍♂️  
    They do have the capability for hand washes so I don’t know why that wasn’t selected. Hell if asked I probably would have hand washed it for them.
