    These were bas a$$ back in the day! Along with the Lagonda Bulldog!

    Maserati Biturbos, without oil coolers to save money. Fire extinguisher mandatory to keep on board! And what's with the Toyota styling cues from the 80s?? Never understood that part of Maserati styling back then.

    Here in Nashville, I don't see too many exotics on the road. But on Cars & Coffee Saturday mornings, I've seen quite a few interesting things. There are two other RS6s in town and we once had all three in one spot one Saturday. There's a Veyron that makes a showing fairly regularly. Ferrari this and that. The last one I went to was for Italian makes only; I rode my $4000 clunker of a Ducati and was admitted to the parking area, while a stunning GT3RS had to park outside :P Gallardos and Murcielagos get pretty old. There were a lot of very interesting old Alfas, and the one stunner wasn't the Murcielago Roadster, but the Gallardo Superleggera. Carbon fiber wing and other bits and pieces...definitely a very special car!

    I've seen so many recently made exotics in nouveau-riche Korea that it takes something truly special (and usually old) to catch my eye. Someone in Korea managed to snag a Ferrari 288 GTO - THAT was impressive. I remember seeing a Lancia Delta Integrale in Hokkaido Japan. Have yet to see the holy grail (Audi Sport Quattro) in person, but when I do, I'll most likely faint. Never saw an ur-quattro like my first (hand-me-down) car, but as rare as those are, they were still just Audi Coupes with the 150bhp 2.2l turbo engine installed and the fenders flared a bit.

    McLaren MP4-12C spotted while driving my 85 year old mother-in-law's brown 2001 Buick LeSabre while my car is in the shop for TC, EGTs, & O2. It was an amazing contrast!! I have gotten used to the best feature of this car over the past 2 weeks- the nicely padded elbow rest on the console that I can rest my elbow on to hold my head up when I fall asleep. It will be fun when (if) I get it back!Click image for larger version.

    Spotted Daytona grey RS on hwy 217 South in Tigard. I was the weirdo that waved at you in the TL. Curious if you're on the forum.

    My first Quattro was an 86 4000Q. The car was an absolute ROCK. I am pretty sure I pushed to close to 250K miles on it having bought it with 106K and DDing it for 12 years. Locking Center, locking rear. Fresh studded tires. BEST snow car ever - except for maybe a '92 V8 5 spd. But even still.......locked is locked.

    I am not sure if this qualifies as "spotted", but thought I'd share.

    At about 13, just around the time I starting to read Car and Driver, Hot Rod, and anything else I could get my hand on, my family was visiting Uncle in the smallest town I'd ever seen. After dinner, my Mom asked my uncle if he'd show me "The Car". Not knowing or caring what it was, I followed him to a separate garage full of car stuff. I couldn't figure out what car it was until he turned on the light. Holy Shit!!! I refused to get within 10' of it. My uncle grabbed me an tossed me into the driver's seat. Things dreams are made. My uncle and my dad had a falling out a year later, and we never went back to visit. Fast forward 25+ years. My cousin and I connect on Facebook. After a few months of back and forth I was going to be travelling to his city, and he invited me over to meet his family. Great to visit and catch up. Of course we talked about cars, and I asked what his Dad ever did with the car. He said that it's here. No way!!! Getting back into it took be back. Beautiful, and always will be.

    While on a recent road trip to Washington D.C. this Tesla Model S appeared in front of me at the intersection of L Street and 11th Ave. it was also the week of the Auto show. A friend and colleague of mine is the Head of Tesla's global CAE. (shameless self promotion)
