Anyone ever see any interesting cars while driving? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

To kill time in traffic today (see other post) I looked at all the cars in the 4 lanes of slowly rolling traffic to see if there was another car on the road I would rather be driving. Not even close. A sea of Hondas, Toyotas, MiniVans and SUVs. Not a single sports car, unless you count a lowrider Honda with a 12" exhaust muzzle and blaring sound system. Kinda cute with all the extraneous ground effects, wings and wingdings! Hell for all I know he has twin turbos and NOS. NOT FOR ME! But all in all, very boring and pedestrian. Guess that why I drive the Boxster, always feels exciting even plugging along at 8 MPH.

Dallas is a sunny as Seattle today and for the most part of tomorrow!

I'm 155 miles from Seattle and I can guarantee you that its sunny there all year long! You just have to get above the clouds

Sunny! Warm! What's that? Is that my car under all that road grime, road salt and slush? Time to go back to the car wash.

Even in "sunny" florida, we are having a lot of fog/rain/clouds. Hovever, I still find time to wash my baby evey week. No grime permitted!!!!

Well, How about 2 Mercedes Benz new SL55 AMG on the same day? One was black in black and another was red on black. I couldn't belive it. They were so nice and the sound they made as they took off the line, sweet sounds too any motoring enthusiasts. They sounded like a souped up hot rod.
Wish I could afford one at $125k+ .

Not really a car, but I was in traffic today behind and beside a new Hummer H2. Man, is that thing big. All you need is a 50 caliber machine gun mounted up top and you are off to Bagdad. What's the limit on Saddams?
