    Anybody have a passion for high end cars?
    I took some pictures of exotic cars. I love cars and hope to one day to own one of these. I'm not a pro by any means, just a teenager taking pictures :). let me know what you think.

    You may not be a pro, but those are some VERY nice photos! :gj:

    I love exotic cars, always have... my family has owned a few (not super high-end) over the years, but unfortunately none have belonged to me. :( One day!

    There are a good bit in my neighborhood. Between two neighbors there are:

    -2 Bentleys
    -Porsche 911
    -BMW M6
    -Corvette Z06
    -2 Dodge Vipers
    -Ferrari 360 Spider
    -Lamborghini LP640

    And probably a dozen less notable cars.

    Re: Anybody have a passion for high end cars?
    rofl me & my bf had an interesting realization the other day while out & about on the road. we saw a porsche right & for the price of 1 of them you can buy our honda fit 10 times!
    we have a somewhat low income budget so we buy accordingly & our view on high end anything is that yes they're nice to have but to what cost? & what sacrifice?
    we just dont see the neccessity for anything extravagantly expensive when economical can be just as sufficient for the purpose.
    we're a family so our fit meets our needs & we'll never really need anything like a high end vehicle or big house or what-have-you. we have no desire for all that but we admire it & respect it (so long as someone driving a high end vehicle respects the rules of the road & the fellow drivers they share it with & doesnt have that stupid better-then-everyone complex.)
    another thing is money changes people, we've seen it too many times.
    dare i say money is the root of all evil? (in large quantities of course).
    oo yeah, i went there, lol.

    I'll shoot you a PM. They both have multiple houses, and the Ferrari and Lambo haven't been around in months. I know one of the Bentleys is still out, though.

    There's also another guy nearby with a Murcielago, Saleen S7, and some other cars.

    The only way I would buy any high end car is if I won like 150 mil in the lottery and had more money then I knew what to do with. I'm content with my mediocre cars that can put out over 1000hp if done right.....far more rewarding than a lambo which you didn't do any work on yourself.

    If I won $150MM, I'd spend a good $30MM on exotics and just let the rest sit in the bank for maintenance costs. I wouldn't even bother with a new house or anything else.

    And, for the record, there are plenty of exotic owners that prefer to work on their own cars.

    Well if I was rich enough for a lambo I sure wouldn't need to do the work myself. I just find most of them overrated. The only car that I would get that's higher end is a nissan gt-r.

    I'm into old American Muscle Cars. Exotics are kinda cool but I love being able to work on my own, and rebuild it from the ground up. Nothin like my '68 Chevelle
    L88 427 with a M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed transmission.

    Re: Anybody have a passion for high end cars?
    Have you ever seen a Bugatti Veyron? This is by far the best, fastest, most expensive car that money can buy from a dealer, does not include auctions. It's number one on a top ten list for most expensive cars in the world 2011-2012 at $2,400,000. It is the fastest accelerating car in the world, at 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, 100 mph in 5.5 seconds, and 150 mph in 9.8 seconds. Getting to 200 takes 18.3 seconds, and 250 takes 42.3 seconds. A special key is required to "unlock" the Veyron's top speed of 250+ mph. The car is then lowered to just 3.5 inches from the ground. A hydraulic spoiler extends at speed, and it can also serve as an air brake. With a top speed of 267 mph you can't beat Bugatti Veyron when it comes to speed and performance. The Volkswagen Group certified the engine to be 1,001 metric horsepower, but in actually that is being conservative and it is 1,020 horsepower or more. Its engine has 16 cylinders, essentially formed by joining two V8 engines at the crank. The Veyron weighs a hulking 4,160 lbs, but even its harshest critics admit its handling is surprisingly sharp. Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 was very skeptical of the Veyron during its development, but after driving the finished car, he conceded it is a "huge achievement." To me this is the single greatest car in the world and I can only hope that I will be able to own one someday.

    Imo the veyron is hideous. Also the ones sold in the us have a governor on them so the top speed and hp is less.

    Back in my old town id always see bentleys and RRs. A few Astons (mostly DB9s and a honest to god one-77) and maseratis. Porshes and Ferraris new and old. Some guy used to come to a pizza place my brother worked at with a Bugatti. That dude went to jail for imbeselment though. Hahaha. i even came across the new BMW M8 and 69 Mach 1.



    If you ever go to Fishers, IN. Go by HSE high school and you will see Porshes and Hummers in the student lot. A kid who graduated a year under me got a Lambo Gallardo for a graduation present :rolleye2:

    In the land of the crazy rich you never know what ull see.

    Me id rather just have my Jeep Wrangler and a 69-72 Charger.:D

    Function over form.

    The Veyron sold in the states will very much do those speeds. I'm not sure who your source is on that, but the car exists here as it does across the ocean, shy a few safety features.

    Re: Anybody have a passion for high end cars?
    A few years ago, seeing as the kids had put the need for car seats way, way behind them, we decided to get a second car that would be fun for the weekends.

    We bought a brand new 2008 911s. Arctic silver metallic with a black leather interior.

    I had always loved Porsches since I was a little kid.

    2 years later we sold it and purchased a new Duramax crew cab 4x4. Go figure. I love that truck more than I ever loved the Porsche.

    The fantasy of owning a high end car ended up being trumped by the reality of it.

    At work on Saturdays we have a car show in our parking lot and one of these showed up. I pretty much fell in love. It's mind blowing to me how low that car is and just how stunning.

    Slidell. There's a pretty good amount of exotics here in comparison to how small a town it is. Unfortunately, most don't seem to be taken out much.

    Yeah I know this. There's a special key you have to have to unlock speeds over 250 mph.
