Maserati GranTurismo in Chicago, Illinois


Like I said before - Maseratis can be sexy machines. Not my cup of tea though.

Maserati Coupé and Porsche Boxster in Evanston, Illinois


First, let's talk about the Porsche. It's light, nimble, and fun to drive. Stick shift only please. Both underrated and overrated, it's a great car in the right hands.

As for the Coupé (yes with the accent over the e), it seems that people in Chicago really love their Maseratis. Yes, they are beautiful. But for the price, I'd much rather have a Ferrari that sounds like heaven and handles like it's on rails. When you're spending this kind of cash, please do some research before you drop 150k on something because it's a status symbol.

BMW 335i Coupe in Evanston, Illinois


The 3.0L twin-turbo setup in this BMW makes me so happy. Doing more with less - this is how it should be.

Also, that's my Accord on the left. You never forget your first.

Lamborghinis and Bentleys in Chicago, Illinois








I was walking down Rush Street in Chicago and stumbled across the "Gold Coast." What a random piece of automotive heaven.

Pair of Nissan 350z's in Evanston, Illinois



Not a fan of the body kit or the wheels. Sorry if this offends anyone. I am curious to see the new 370z though...

Chevrolet Camaro SS in Ann Arbor, Michigan




Autobots, let's roll! This thing had HUGE Brembos. Wonder why Ford and GM's best cars are engineered in Europe and Australia?

BMW M3 in Evanston, Illinois


Love the M3. It's got amazing presence.

Volkswagen New Beetle in Southlake, Texas


Volkswagen New Beetle
FWD
0-60: one hour
2.5 L N/A DOHC I5
150 HP @ 5000 RPM
170 lb-ft @ 3750 RPM

"lol."

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in Southlake, Texas


Chevrolet Corvette Z06
RWD
0-60: 4.5 sec
7.0 L N/A SOHC V8
505 HP @ 6300 RPM
470 lb-ft @ 4800 RPM

Not nearly as refined, not nearly as fast as the Blue Devil. But from what I've heard, turn off the TCS on a rainy day and you're as good as dead.

Porsche Cayman S in Southlake, Texas


Porsche Cayman S
RWD
0-60: 5.1 sec
3.4 L N/A DOHC flat-6
295 HP @ 6250 RPM
251 lb-ft @ 4400-6000 RPM

It might be just a hardtop Boxster, but I can't say that I don't like this car. Clean and tasteful example seen here.
