so i went to the big local(ish) automall and took some pictures. I know most of the cars arent too special but it was pretty cool to see them in the area. On to the pics!









But wait...whats this?





Sorry about this next pic...idk what happened to the color.













Damn thats ugly





They had an F430 inside but they were closed so i had to take the pic from outside the glass. :\



And a ford GT...I couldnt get a good pic because it was dark in there and i was still outside...still









This was only the used cars...





And a 911 turbo...all black with gunmetal wheels, really dark tint and just all around sexiness.







A new FX50



This thing is gorgeous IMO





Really sexy G37



Awwwwww...



The proper reaction: Holy ShltIts the building where thr F430 was and the ford GT...there was also a Gallardo in there but i couldnt get a good pic. Im pretty sure there were a few RR phantoms but i was too focused on the GT.



And a really nice ZO6

The FX50 is one of the ugliest things ever unleashed by Nissan.

Seeing a navigation display in a Viper is so weird to me.

Love the Quattroporte! Its really what the Buick Park Avenue should have become, at least in terms of styling.

I love this:Its 'snarky.'

There's nothing new about the Challenger, they just re-did the front on a Charger and put in a bigger Hemi.

I once saw an Ferrai F435 Challenge. It was parked in a garage of this house and had all racing stuff in it.

I like the FX50. It has badd-*** personality to it.

I'm not a fan of the Viper to be honest with you. I mean, it's a cool car, don't get me wrong, but the interior is ugly as hell and it kinda looks like a penor.

The FX50 doesn't look terrible, I would never buy one though.

The Challenger: meh.

But The Continental GT and Quattroporte look sexy!

Umm, the Challeneger this year is the SRT version with the exact same 6.1 hemi as in the SRT Charger, and the SRT 300. Next year when they have all the versions out it will have the v6 and the 5.7 Hemi found in the Charger R/T and the 300C

I like that place! Probably one of those outfits that would be wary about giving someone like me test drives.

On the FX50, I wouldn't mind the styling so much if it wasn't for the cartoonishly oversized wheels. Not to mention the highly unusual tire sizes (tirerack only even stocks 2 tires that will fit those dimensions).

I'd have the Challenger only it's an auto but saying that the Viper's centre console really lets it down I think. The Turbo or track Porsche I also wouldn't kick out of my garage for backfiring!

The chrome knobs are 80s, but the rest of it is 90s. A lot of 1990s OEM head units had flat buttons arranged to look like a flat surface. You had to take your eyes off the road and look at the radio to figure it out. My 1995 Mazda 626 had this problem, and I kept picking the wrong presets.

And then you see DODGE VIPER.

Yup, I'm really familiar with Inskip. Its the dealer I went to and wrote my G37 review: zerothread?id=333668Just about every sales person is friendly there, and I don't see security bothering anyone unless you're drunk, you're between the ages of 15-19, or its after dark (or a combination of all three).

I checked out the Smart there a little while ago but I got bothered by it before even driving it.

The best liquor store ever is on that road too!

Yep! I remember the G37 review.

More pics. Hopefully the lambo/ferrari/GT make up for the fact that that im digging this thread up. I am currently moving so now is the only time i have access to a PC. I would have had the pics up about a week ago but no internet at the new house yet. On the the pics!

Sorry bout the angles of the GT...it was pushed up against the wall so i couldnt get any good shots.



SUPAHCHAGED!!!!





I really wish it was a hardtop.









Lambolicous.

Backup camera...lol







Just a couple more of the turbo.







NISMO Z...yum.

nah...no aerodynamic work at all back here.



New maxima



Thats about it. Plz no flaming about how old the thread is...these would have been up a while ago if it was up to me.
