Hey everybody, just another bored late night question from me. Here in upstate New York I don't get to see too many nice cars on a daily basis. However my neighbor, back in October, bought a 1 Series M Coupe and forever ruined my days home. Other than that there really aren't any truly nice cars around me, hell I get exited whenever I see an M3 in any condition. On occasion, (only the most perfect summer days) I see an original E24 M6 in pristine condition, and whenever theres an event at Watkins Glen International I see some really neat stuff, but nothing on a daily basis. Theres a bunch of old guys who have vettes or challengers and a couple of sick stangs but not much else. I almost think that my family has the most unique cars around. My uncle (who races professionally for ford) has a Ford GT, a '69 Mach 1, a '04 Mach 1, a '09 Cobra Jet and an insane '08 Mustang GT with a whipple supercharger and lots of other track bits (plus his race cars 2 FR500Cs, 2 Boss 302Rs and a few older Mustangs). My dad and I co-own a '68 Mustang Coupe with a 289, he's got his first car a '70 1602, and of course the '99 ti and my '02 325ci. My question for you is what nice or cool cars do you see on a daily basis?

I work in the city in Sydney Australia near the financial side of town so I see quite a lot of exotics everyday.

On a daily basis I'd at least see a 911, E9x M3, C63 AMGs, Aston Martins.

On a weekly basis I'd see Lamborghini's Gallardos, an Aventordor last week. Ferraris 458s, 599s, Maserati's, Bently's, R35 GTRs, Lotus Elise.

I can't wait till I get my own exotic sports car :)

Damn.

I forgot that somebody around me has a R35 GTR but the only time that I see really nice stuff is during SCCA Grand Nationals and the Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen where you see all sorts of AMAZING old cars like:

In the office complex where I work there is a guy who rotates his commute cars between his Ferrari 308 and his vintage Morgan.

Otherwise it's just the normal freeway commuter cars that I see daily...

I live in Wichita Falls, Texas, about 100,000 souls, 125 miles north, northwest of Dallas. There is oil money in town and a BMW dealership, so I see some nice 3 and 5 series examples, but nothing exotic, and all are either silver, black or white. I see a Boston green and a white ti from time to time. Neatest car in town is a wintergreen Z3M coupe owned by a an active duty pilot out at Sheppard AFB, just north of town.
Wintergreen is a, "strange" color, but I like it.

100,000 people is more than the combined population of the two counties Ive lived in...... I was born in Watkins Glen New York, famous for hosting the first post WWII race in america, hosting the USGP F1 race and now *cough* NASCAR, where a lovely 2,500 people live. Moved to Odessa when I was three, not the Texas Odessa but rather a small village 5 miles outside of Watkins home to a whopping 675 people. Lived there till I was 13 or so when I moved to Horseheads which is 15 miles south of Watkins and is home to 6,500 people, not exactly a populous area so seeing cool cars is always a highlight of the day.

I drive across MD to DC every day. See all kinds of stuff. Quattroporte in the garage, but it's beat to hell, lots of mercs, 911's, few teslas, Elises, street rods.... There is a clean 850 and a Esprit Turbo in the garage also.
