Rarest/Most Expensive on the street

I've seen some nice cars in my time. I went to college in Carlisle, PA. But I think the winner was from just about a week ago.

Rolling down the street here in lil ol doylestown pa, I'm coming up to a red light. The car stopped in my lane looks different. I was thinking it was one of those maserati coupes, but as I get right behind, I see a make and model I didn't recognize! Later I find out that it was one of 150 Fisker Tramontos in the world, coming in at somewhere around a quarter mil



who would've thunk it!

I'll be on the lookout for it. I'm not far from D'town.

I've seen some sweet cars in the area. There is a Maybach, Lamborghini Gallardo, and Ferrari 360 Spyder, which "live" close by the house.

think the best cars I've seen around here is a ford GT and a lotus elise. . .they've got their porsha dealer here but forget them. over priced. I'd take a lotus over them. although I saw some pretty sweet rides in germany.

I run plates all day long on the job. As long as the current owner entered in the information w/ the DMV like they should have, the purchase price is displayed on my return. I get an occasional return of the $140K Maserati and $125k Ferrari. BUT, two weeks ago I pull up alongside a red Ferrari on 410EB passing P.B. and went ahead running the plate. It came back over 200k. I honestly can't remember just how much and what type of Ferrari it was. But, this was the first return I've ever had over $200k. I was sitting there thinking that the guy had to be nuts just driving it in that wet weather.

I work in Denver next to a hotel and the Vallet parking is on the side of our court yard. Numerous times I've seen exotics parked out there but two that come to mind are the Bentley Continental GT and the Rolls Royce Phantom.
I remember thinking when I saw these cars, if I owned one of those vehicles I would almost rather the vallet park it in the garage because hundreds of people walk right by them when they are in front of the hotel.

Speaking of rarity, a friend of mine owns an all-original '69 Yenko Camaro.

He just had it appraised by his insurance carrier....$299K. :eek:

When we were finishing up the Hot Rod Power Tour in New Jersey last June, I saw a Porsche Carrera GT coming from the other direction.

And during the Woodward Dream Cruise, there was a Ferrari Enzo (1 million bucks!) cruisin' Woodward. :eek:

Passed by a Lambo today by the Quarry. I'm pretty sure it was a Gallardo, but can't say for 100%. Black in color and just beautiful!

I've seen that same guy, I bet, sitting at the railroad crossing just outside the Quarry before... lol... I love it when we're pulling across there with our train doing 10mph and you see all these people with their Ferraris, Lambos and Mercedes cars just sitting there looking all huffed that they're being held up by a train
