Default Cars you see regularly that just make you smile...

Right now for me? It's AMG! It actually has been. It's not necessarily the beauty all the time but just the sense of awe. E55's aren't too common but very much beautiful. SL55's never fail to make me drop my jaw. S55's... :x I don't care much for ML's,SLK's, and C's. The G's you rarely see. Even SL5's are great. The M3 was on this list before, but it became just too common and too commonly driven by jerks. Cars that make me go 'ugh!': the 350z, WRXs, G35 coupes. How about everyone else?

I was saying cars you see on a regular basis driving around. Porsche's I don't feel are overly exotic.... just high end sporty. Carrera Turbo's are neat though.

k heres a question buddy... ive been trying and trying to figure out how to exactly distinquish z06s from normal vettes. is it the longer trunk (before the window) and the longer engine bay?

also evos and stis get my attention.... but theyre still usually driven by fatties or ugly insecure people. i dont know. then again.... those mercedes' could be driven by rich pricks huh? idunno. i respect the two.... i like the evo a bit better but i think there has to be some style, despite performance, to be fully respectable.

The Z06 has a few cosmetic differences.

http://www.heartlandcorvette.com/our%20zo6.jpg <<< z06, look at the front, it has those grille air vents in the bumper, the brakes and the side has a vent, this car is black not the right car to describe this but I'm sure you will get what I say.

http://www.heartlandcorvette.com/ek_1_3.jpg <<< normal C5, no grille on the bumpers, no side vents, smaller brakes, different rims.

Thats the way I can tell if its a z06 or not.

To be honest, non of the Japanese cars make me go wow, or makes my head turn. They are just not my thing. Even if it was a skyline I wouldn't care that much. I see Cayenne's on a daily basis, there is ALOT of them here in Ottawa. Other then that it would have to be something rare to put a smile on my face.

I always love to see another Corvette of any year, or model. It's an unwritten rule within the Corvette community that whenever you pass another Corvette on the street you always wave at eachother. That always makes me smile.

Ill have to agree with the AMG's, just gotta love them....their sleeper apperance that only true car people can understand what they actually are capable of. Recently i have seen an RS6 around too and that thing is like an exotic for me too. Very rare especially in the states and in bright red. Vipers are always nice to see

in my area the chances of seeing a nicer than average car is rare. i am happy when i get to see any special cars, like an SHO taurus, a supra or rx-7, an SVT cobra and any Eagle Talon Tsi AWD

STi's, EVO's, Z-06's. There's a nice M-3 down the road from my house. Always have loved those cars..

Anything unique or where its obvious that the owner cares for his car a lot. M3's used to do it for me, but fuck i see so many of them everyday, especially when i go visit my mom and the people driving them just dont look like they know what they have. Theyve turned it into a just a "regular" car for me.
