Thumbs up Exotic Cars in Southern California

Here are some amateur pics I snapped with my 3 year old digicam. I know you guys are car enthusiasts so I spent several hours uploading and organizing these photos for you guys to enjoy.

These pics are about a month old from the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation Charity Rally here in Calabasas, Ca.

i officially creamed my pants.

I'm liking the black F430, the Murci Roadsters, and the Gallardos.

I personally think that the F40 isn't the most beautiful car in the world - but im sure the driving experience is unparalled.

Nice pics, thanks for posting

Wow, thanks for the effort of uploading and posting all those pics. The Carrera GT is still my favorite car of all time. F-40 comes in a close second, along with the Shelby

haha I was contemplating captions too....... nice pics!

dang, did I really spend $1.2mil on this car????


car that impressed me the most was the Espada.. I mean sure you got all the other "regulars" - but that was the one I never seen before at any show.

how damn small the Enzo's side-window is... how would anybody be able to see you???

The Supra stands out anywhere! There is an abundance of very nice cars there but I'd probably take the Sup over any other car there.

I love the supra too and there was quite a crowd around the car, but I think you would have to be crazy to take the supra over any other car there. To put things into perspective, the supra is barely worth one bucket seat in that CLK DTM

the F40 is such a beautiful car.. probably the greatest ferrari
the F60 enzo is nice too, but something about that nose and the flat rear end that always makes me want to walk to the next car..

what i dont understand is the big slob inside that yellow enzo. wearing shorts and a tshirt from kmart and driving his car barefoot.. kinda creeps me out on how these guys get invited to buy an enzo.


the murci's are awesome, but the yellow one's rims are a little too much. they belong on rappers' SUVs.

i never knew the CLK DTM's even came to our shores.. i thought it was a German/European only car.. that's a pretty awesome car though! wish i coulda seen it in person

The gentleman who owned the car was commenting how he had the car shipped over here. It is not street legal by department of transportation standards. Im not sure if he had the car towed over to that parking lot because when I showed up the Mclaren SLR was being taken off a tow truck (I can't believe he hired someone to flatbed the car!)

I did notice this sticker on the DTM's window, which leads me to believe this guy actually drove the car in the streets to get there.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see it parked there. Princeton's a nice area and all, and I see expensive MB and stuff constantly, but the DB9 stopped me in my tracks for a minute. Hope the owner didn't see me lingering in the parking lot!

Insert Flavor Flav voice: Whoaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's an absolute sick group of cars. There were Ferraris and Lambos around like nothing. I live in south FL where nice cars are pretty common but damn.

How was the meet set up anyways? Why such a crappy parking lot instead of the L.A. Coliseum. I'm sure someone there is buddy's with the operators of that stadium.

What's with the mullet of the yellow Enzo passenger. Is he some rich Euro dude or sheik's son?

I saw that same CLK DTM AMG car (street Illegal) today at Meguiar's headquarter in Irvine. The owner drove the car since the permit by department of transportation allows to drive one trip! Notice that none of the information on the permit was fill out from the previous poster? So he can drive "many" trip!

The owner is old and has disabled tag on the car, but he certaintly can walk and drive. The old one in picture is the owner. He drove the car with one other person.

i probably would have just creamed my jeans and then passed out if i saw that clk in person. I read about it in Autoweek and it just cised it up for me. Other than that beauty, I would have to go with the black F430 or the Porsche Turbo S ftw.

In so cal the NSX is no longer an exotic car. The pool of exotic cars on the road has gotten so huge that the NSX was thrown out.


...on a side note...I'm pissed I missed this event...and it so happened in the parking lot of Maria's (Italian joint I eat at at least once a week) How did I miss this?!?!
