Very true. But we all know the owner of that car has a 5+ car garage full of toys.

i want to find one of those in my parking lot

Yeah so about the parking job, at our hotel, we have pretty huge parking lots to park our valet cars in. Usually when we get a really nice car to park, we park it by itself under a light. Honestly, I'm not really sure why we do it, I guess just so we all notice it and we can show off our 'trophy'. I suppose it stays safer that way, but mainly so we can all see it. Thanks for all the replies, and yes, I agree, the rims suck.

I was sent to a call recently where a guy had his warehouse robbed and he turned up in a black Macca SLR. It was a stunning piece of kit. When he left and accelerated away it was like thunder on tap, it was just a monumental sound! Loved the exhausts - like something off a WWII Spitfire lol

yah i think that's true, but then, if i had 5 other cars, then i wouldnt take this one to be my supercar, it would be an Enzo,,,,,or Carrera GT

I've seen a couple of these driving around, all very sexy.

I remember I was waiting at a light and a guy in his 20's in an SL55 pulled up next to me. Top down, music loud, obviously BEGGING for attention. I looked his way and he gave me a cocky-as grin.

Then an SLR pulled inbetween us.

Guy inside had was just starring forward, windows up, cool and calm. The kid in his sl55 promtly turned off his stereo.

When the light turned green the kid in his sl55 flew off at full throttle to "prove himself" or something. meanwhile me and the SLR took our time.

For me just the old McLaren F1 with V12 BMW engine and goldplated enginebay and 3-seat layout:

I saw one flying on the highway at night. I don't know how fast he was going but as soon as I could tell what it was it was gone. It looked amazing on the road.
