Spotted - Twin GT-Rs

GT-R Twins
Riverside may be out in the middle of nowhere, but it's been a bit of a hotspot for supercars lately. Last week I saw two Aston Martins which unfortunately escaped me but my discovery monday morning more than made up for it: a set of GT-R's posted up in the far lot on campus.

Spotted - 2013 Nissan GT-R R35

2013 Nissan GT-R (V-Spec?)
On Thursday nights Bernie & I tend to hang out at a meet or two, but tonight we were late to the party & missed out. Just as we decided to call it a night & we headed back to my apartment so we could drop me off, we spotted this GT-R in the parking lot. Thrilled, we headed over to check it out and so I could grab some photos. I feared not having a tripod would produce useless images, but I was happy to find most of them came out. But they still don't do the car justice.

Spotted - Cars in Vegas

GEDC4070
This weekend I went to Vegas for the very first time to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday. Even though I was supposed to be there to party (which I don't really do much of), you know I couldn't help but be on the look out for good cars. I saw many photo-worthy vehicles (three Gallardos, two Rolls Royces, a Bentley, a Ferrari & three GT-R's), but I was only able to get photos of a select few. Worse yet, they came out ugly, but I still wanted to share them.

Spotted - Matte Pink BMW 335i

I've been living in my new apartment for a week now and recently noticed a conspicuous car hiding under a cover across the way.  Peeking out from underneath the gray shroud was a matte pink BMW E90 335i. As I've stated before, pink cars generally disgust me, but for some reason, I adore this one.

Spotted - Twin Murcielagos

GEDC3181
Last weekend I was lucky enough to see a Tesla Roadster in my neighborhood, but this evening I must've been extra lucky, because I saw not one, but TWO Lamborghini Murcielagos! I was out in Walnut Creek having dinner with a friend to celebrate her birthday when the two bulls rolled up to the valet across the street from our restaurant.  Considering Lamborghinis tend to be pretty rare, I knew I had to get a better look.

Spotted - Tesla Roadster

GEDC3175
I'm back home in the Bay for summer, and I'm starting to remember what an amazing place it is for cars. Sure we have our fair share of automotive events, but even daily outings here can be incredibly rewarding. Yesterday afternoon I stumbled upon this silver Tesla Roadster in Montclair Village.

Spotted - Ferrari 308 GTB

Usually mondays totally suck, but today's been AWESOME.  Got enough sleep last night, classes went well, enjoyed a frappucino on the terrace, and I ran across this Ferrari 308 GTB.  It actually wasn't only car of interest I saw today, but it's the only one I was able to get photos of.  And unfortunately I only had my phone, I should know better by now to  always have my camera on me.  Even still, what a sight!

Spotted - MG Coupe

 First post with the new name! WHOOHOO.  Didn't expect to have something to write about so soon, but as any enthusiast knows, you never know when you'll come across a great car.  It's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.  Today, I was in the right place at the right time to cross paths with this beautiful MG.

Spotted - Dodge Viper Convertible

Today was a very lazy day for me, I almost didn't feel like going out because I had been so exhausted from my week.  But, I managed to drag myself out of bed and head to the movies this afternoon with my boyfriend to see Chronicle. The lot was packed at the mall so we ended up driving around the backside for a space, and that's where I found this: a Dodge Viper convertible.
Even in white, this car looks venomous with its big brakes, side exhaust and large super-car worthy intake in front of the doors.  Vipers seem to be pretty rare, but I hear Dodge intends for it to make a comeback this year, renamed as the "SRT Viper" and sporting a new logo that will be unveiled a the New York Auto Show in April.  

I look forward to seeing the new Viper, but old one is fine too!

Spotted - Subaru WRX STi

Two weeks ago I came across this WRX STi, but it was too dark to get photos.  Today, I found it in a parking lot on campus while walking to my business class at 7am this morning.  Although it was light enough, I had neglected to bring my camera so I had to use my iPhone (I had a midterm so I wasn't concerned about what cars I might find lol).

Spotted - Classic Mustang


Living in SoCal, stumbling upon beautiful cars is practically a daily occurrence.  Today, I discovered this gorgeous blue classic 'stang sitting quietly in a parking lot down the street from my apartment.  I've been past that lot multiple times, but usually at night, I had no idea this car was there! But I'm glad I found it. It's just...WOW.

Spotted - Nissan GT-R



First post of the New Year! Woohoo!

San Francisco is always a good place to find cars, it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.  This gray GT-R showed up just as I was about to hop on the freeway, and thankfully I was able to catch it at a red light.  Seems I'm always looking at the back end of the R35 when I see it on the road, but I don't mind :)

Spotted - Bentley Continental GT

I hope everyone has spent today surrounded by good family, good friends,  and that you've been stuffing yourself with good food.  In addition to your usual Christmas cheer, I had the pleasure of seeing this blacked out Bentley Continental GT.   How's that for a Christmas present? 

Happy Holidays!

Spotted - Maserati Quattroporte


Look what I found on the way to the post office! The gorgeous four door saloon that is the Maserati Quattroporte.


Jeremy Clarkson said it looked like a hitman in black, but in white? It's a class act.

This particular post was uploaded from my iPhone so the quality is not amazing, but it's likely I'll be posting a few of these here and there if I come across something when I don't have my camera.  Enjoy!

Spotted - Lotus Exige S


I went to out to do a bit of shopping with my mother at the Bay Street Shopping Plaza in Emeryville, CA when I noticed this white Lotus Exige S as we were looking for a park.

Spotted - Plymouth Barracuda


Today I found this second generation ('67-'69) Plymouth Barracuda at a shopping plaza and I was instantly in love with it.
