Someone at my office is daily driving a 2010 997 TT cabriolet, PDK. That's about $170k. I was pretty surprised, normally our company is pretty low key.

The Maser makes the M3 look homely.

If that's an M3... can't see the fender vent :/

That's a 328. A 335 would have dual single exhausts, and a M3 would have quads.

Ah, right you are. But the quad exhaust wouldn't help. And as nothing else is different on the 3 line from that angle, I stand by my comment.

Actually saw it last night, but a gray and black Mosler MT900 GTR heading west on sunset in LA. License plate onfilm1. Any idea who the owner is? All I know is it wasn't Leno.

Funny thing was two cars back there was a gray LP-640 with the reventon tails. How much must that suck? Going out in your lambo on a friday night only to be completely outshadowed.

Wait Jersey correct? There are certainly weathy parts of that state, but no where near "one of the richest parts of this country". There are so many "billionaire" miny communities in this country that would amaze most people and they are not located in Jersey.

I was talking about the average wealth. Everyone lives pretty well, but like i said in my original post "no one is super rich" lol

And i barely ever see nice cars where i live. Not even M3's which seem pretty standard when i drive to other places of jersey. Guess people are just not into cars.

fyi, from Wikipedia:

"New Jersey has the highest percentage of millionaire households. It is ranked 2nd in the nation by the number of places with per capita incomes above national average with 76.4%. Nine of New Jersey's counties are in the wealthiest 100 of the country. The per-capita income is the third highest in the nation."

Since the M3 is the only 3 with quads, I think it would. But if you want to get technical, besides the quads, the M3 also has a thin spoiler on the trunk lid (that guy added it onto his 328), wider fenders, and a completely different back bumper with a diffuser...

CLK 63 AMG Black Series. I've never seen one on the road in Toronto, so I was pretty surprised. Amazingly aggressive car.

That's not a M3 but I actually think that the 92 coupe is much nicer looking

When I lived off Melrose I'd see that Mosler once every couple of months. In fact I once saw him scrape the hell out of his front lip trying to pull into the car wash place on Melrose. It sounded so bad.

That Mosler is one of the rarest spots I've seen in LA, along with a Pagani Zonda.

I thought Zonda's were deemed non-street legal in the US?

Your statement is true.

I see some nice cars every day at my office building (AM Vantage, SLR, Porsche Turbo) but living in the Northeast is nothing like SoCal or Miami. People are waaaaaaaaay more into cars in the warmer climates. I back up the dude about Jersey. The tri-state area is the wealthiest area of the country but people just don't care about cars. My CEO takes the train to work every day. It's just a different way of life out here.
