Those cars both are the norm around here. Those pig bentley's are a dime a dozen. I about cry when I see the old lady around here that drives the bright red GTR.

What's eye candy for me are normal, average joe cars that are tastefully modified. A lot more satisfying than seeing some dude in a new Ferrari that he just bought for a night on the town.

I have seen a few of those Bentleys in person before and they do nothing for me. I absolutely hate the look of them.

RR > Bentley.

Scottsdale aka Snobsdale.

I live near the rich people, but am FAR from rich. Quite the opposite currently.

About 7 Porsche's (Not kidding)
Audi R8
2 Conti GT's
Lotus Exige
Ferrari F430

True dat!

_lineup, if you've ever lived in or even know somebody that drives around Scottsdale often, it's like a freaking car show everytime you drive around town.

When I worked last, outside near the valet there was a Spyker C8, two ferrari's, a phantom, and endless porsches.

Although, I've yet to see an Ariel Atom around town. There's plenty of exotics, but the people that drive them are far from enthusiasts. It's a waste. That's why I like seeing working man "project" cars. They don't necessarily have to be expensive to be nice. :)

By all means, come to Scottsdale. It's stupid how many exotics are out here.

I see Corvette's and Porsche's as much as most people see Honda's and Toyota's.

Actually, Tito once told me that he see's maybe one Ferrari in person a year. I have pictures of 2 on my phone from the last week alone. And those are only the ones that I happened to stop near.

My neighbor owns a pool business and does pool work for the rich and famous out here. I've helped out a few times and see TONS of exotics. I'm talking Bugatti's, Carrera GT's, RR's, Bentleys, ZR1's, etc.

I'll vouch for Snobsdale. Massive amount of big money cars out there. It's partly the reason I want to move there in the next couple years.
