It doesn't count since it wasn't on the road, but the Bugatti Veyron strapped down to the flight deck of some dude's 250ft yacht would have to be tops for me.

ETA: I work like 4 feet from South Beach. Nothing is really that exotic anymore, especially on a friday or saturday night

My best friend's father-in-law drove for Ferrari NA, he had a continuous flood of amazing vehicles in his garage, mostly track cars.

Coolest I ever drove was a bulletproof (AMG?) Mercedes. It was pretty cool. Rode in a real Shelby Cobra when I was about 4...

What is the worst thing to do to a C5 vette, Alex?

See plenty of Rolls, Ferraris, etc. Most uncommon I've seen is a McLaren MP4

Dealer out in Pinellas Park has about 12 of them right now.

I own a small hotel in upstate NY. We had about 10 of the 12 in existence Pope Hartford motor vehicles produced between 1903 - 1914 stay here when they toured the northeast a couple of years ago. Very expensive cars if you even get one.

In my twenties I dated a girl whose father owned old cars. I went with her to her parents modest home once while they were out of town and while waiting for her to make us grilled cheese sandwiches, she asked me if I wanted to see the old cars. I went out to the garage and was awed to find a three Bugattis; a type 35, a type 55 and a type 57. She said she would get me a ride in them one day but we broke up soon after when i realized she was a total loon.

Beautiful, beautiful cars.

Lamborghini Countach 5000QV

I'm wondering if we've seen the same car... Nashua?

I saw this particular one in Londonderry back in the late 80s. Was jet black. There was another local Countach that was driven by the father of a guy I went to HS with, yellow IIRC. Been a fair bit since I've seen that one, although more recently than the other.

I got one more.

I was at a little out of the way cafe with my dad and son when a Cobra pulled up, then another then another. All tallied 22 cobras. Must have been a club ride.

I was 14-15. He was nice about it. He actually showed me how to rapidly spot kits.

The factory cars are aluminum bodies, they have a line of rivets on the inside of the wheel well.

1958 Ferrarri Testa Rosaa 250 --- with Neveda plates "1958 TR 250"

Other than that, Auburn Boattail Speedster or a real winged Dodge Daytona at a 7-11 in the nid-80s

Around 80 or 81, there was a Plymouth Superbird in the parking lot of an apartment complex down the street from my high school.

There was another Plymouth Superbird at a small used car lot (gravel lot, trailer for an office, maybe 25 cars) on the other side of the county line. The guy didn't seem too interested in dealing with a few high school guys pulling up in an old Ford and asking about the Superbird. Best I can remember, the price on the windshield was around $5000.

I've been passed by a few Ferraris, Porsches, and one or two Lamborginis. At one of my past jobs, a friend of the boss would park his Ferrari in the maintenance hangar, to keep it out of the sun when he stopped for a visit. I've seen a Cobra in the parking lot at Kroger, a few times, but I didn't get close enough to see if it was an original or a replica. Saw a Datsun 2000 roadster in that same parking lot, a couple times, and it looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor.

I've driven a BMW 750iL, but that was just to move it from the customer parking lot across the street, to the ramp. The owner had a bad knee, and management didn't want to make him walk too far from the Lear to the BMW.

Name one.

Drive to Los Angeles on any weekend and you're likely to see a few quarter million dollar vehicles tooling around. The movie and TV stars have it and flaunt it.

Was driving down the street with a Lamborghini Club a few months ago. Must have been 15 or so of them all eastbound on Shea Boulevard going towards SR87 and up to Payson. That was a lot of $ on the pavement.

I have stopped a few Ferraris, and even towed one after a DUI arrest. Passed me at 120 going back to Tucson, drunk after being at a hockey game. I was lucky to catch up and stop him.

Stopped another Ferrari the very next day, the driver was getting a blowjob and the car was all over the road. His pants were down as I walked up to the car and talked to him.
