You can clearly see which car I was in love with!

Ashley · 8 March 2010, 02:05 PM

What is that black one on the first page? It's literally fierce looking!

And I think we can tell that the one you are in love with is the beautiful blonde, by the way!

Ack! Where are pictures of the FRONT of that matte-black Lexus!?!?

Chip - very nice pictures! I like the black Aston Martin best!

BTW aren't you in love with your lady friend?

It's a Maserati Granturismo.

Hmmm... maybe I didn't load any? I know I took some...
Lexus is crazy. Who in their right mind would buy THAT for a base price of $375.000 (!!!) when I can have the 4 dour Aston Martin Rapide for USD 210.000 and have enough money left over for house!!??

I love that it is matte, totally unique. But I definitely need to see the front of the car before it goes a

or a

Aaaaaand, I think that all auto shows should have the SLR McLaren, because there is not a sexier car out there!

ParisDakarBmw · 8 March 2010, 03:31 PM

LFA takes the cake. It looks like a stealth fighter jet. Too cool. Great pics!

see... i can't fall in love with the SLR. I think they had one there.

Wow Chip, definitely some high end cars there. I was surprised that they let your friend actually sit in a car.

It's amazing what guys will do for a pretty woman!

The Aston Area had a fence around it and they did not allow anybody within 10 feet of the cars, but the off white pearl AM DBS was the one my friend kept on looking at.
So... I told her that I bet the guy will let her get a closer look, so we went back there and I asked.
Sure thing, he let her in and I, of course, followed along as well.
We sat in all the cars, he was showing us all the features, turned the ignition on in the DBS and demoed the amazing Bang & Oluffsen stereo for us etc.

I must say that the 4 door Rapide was the nicest one of all on the inside. It looked and felt like a fighter jet and the rear seats were identical to their front counterparts. Amazing.

Funny bit... I was taking pics of the cars and of her, when I heard two guys on the other side of the rail saying something along the lines of "How did they get in there and nobody else can?". The other guys replies with "Well... look at her. She is hot. I'd let her in too! And look at the guy... he must have money to be with a girl like that, so the sales man must smell a sale."

Talk about a demoralizer for me! Really?? I know I ain't no movie star or male model LOL but damn... that kinda hurt

. And I for sure have no money! I'm a single guy with mortgage!

That's right, but it definitely wouldn't fly under the bank manager's radar

at $375K.

The triangulated exhaust ports on the rear look crrraazzyyy

You hit up some of the coolest places and always have great photos of them.

I was going to post a thread of some random stuff I shot around the house as I am working on composition and exposure but my son's stuff animal just does not seem like it belongs in the same forum as those cars!

You're right, it does not belong in the same place.
And that's because your son's stuffed animal actually matters, while those cars lined up for all to see have absolutely no meaning at all.

datejust1 · 10 March 2010, 05:19 AM

Don't tell me... An Aston Martin RAPIDE!!! MY DREAM CAR!

SLRdude · 10 March 2010, 05:44 AM

It sure was! the first one in TX, yours for a mere 210k!
I have sat or driven in many fancy cars, but I have never been in a car that I liked more than that one!
There was something about it that made you feel like you were in a fighter cockpit.

If you think that's funny... look at this message I got earlier today.

This message should be etched in the golden halls of "Crazy Chick Crap"
You think you're having a normal day, then you get this text message. WTF??? Why do people always assume that I can make anything and everything happen???

I'm flying to Miami for work Sunday, and I am having a hard time finding a freaking ride to the airport LOL. How am I gonna arrange for a private plane to take somebody out of state?

:r ofl:

explodingtaco · 10 March 2010, 07:04 AM

So I guess your a pilot?

Otherwise does she think your money? Either way I hope she knows how much fuel costs. Although I bet some of the guys around here wish they had your kind of problems.

Nope... not a pilot, and I sure don't have money!

I have a friend that has a plane and he's offered many times to take me flying so that's probably what brought that question up.

WOW, then that deffinatly qualifies for Crazy Chick Crap, actually I think that qualifies for a new level.

Ashley · 10 March 2010, 08:02 AM

Whoa... I hope you guys are really good friends, for her to be asking something like that!

I'm with you on this one!
Mind you... I am not dating this girl! She is just a friend of mine!
So... I'd have to beg a guy to spend his own money to fly his own plane to ferry the "princess" then I would have to drive 670 miles round trip to bring her back home???

Yeah... that's a whole new level of crap.

Well at least this is a chance for self examination:

-If you are tempted in the slightest you can pretty well sumize that you do want to date her.

-If you are more than tempted and are giving a call to your friend just to see what he is doing this week end and if he wants to take a girl across the country for you then you indeed want to marry her.

-Otherwise you are cool.
