View Full Version : Drive your exotic day?

Let me preface this by saying that I was on the road for maybe 15 minutes over the course of 5 miles tops. I rarely see exotics, and it's even more rare to see them on a weekday. That's why I'm amazed...

I'm pulling out of my subdivision in Brookhaven and I see a black, brand new F430 pulling in. I can't help but stop and stare at it as it goes by, then I realize that I'm halfway in the intersection with Peachtree Dunwoody Rd. Oh well, I finish gawking, the guy is still smiling at me and I drive off.

I head towards 400 near Phipps Mall. In front of me, in line to get on the onramp, is a Lamborghini Murcielago. He starts to accelerate through traffic and I try to stay with it as long as I can (obviously not happening) when out of freaking nowhere comes a Maserati Quattroporte. The Lambo doesn't bite no matter how hard the Quattroporte tries, and we all cruise down the highway at an... elevated rate of speed. Eventually, I pull up alongside the Lambo and I give the guy a thumbs up, and he revved up the engine like he thought the thumbs up meant I wanted to run. :shifty

He pulls in behind me and I figure what the hell, there's no traffic and I really want to hear this engine and witness something amazing. I floor it in 3rd around 70, but I'm obviously not going fast enough for him, he drops two gears quickly and then absolutely rockets past me, hitting probably 120 before I can get to 90 :eyecrazy. That was freaking amazing.

Didn't see any other exotics tonight though...

+1 :)

Very nice though. I watched an F430 fly by me on I985 a few weeks ago.

I saw a lime green Gallardo go by me on Peachtree in Buckhead yesterday evening as well. Must be a convention in town or something.

I was down in Buckhead Tuesday night meeting a friend for dinner. This was when the storms were passing through. Anyway, there was a yellow F430 Spyder with its top down....in the pouring rain sitting outside of Bluepoint.

Just drive by the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead you will see CGTs, Lambos, Porsche's Ferrari's etc all day long. Go to the Neiman Marcus Valet at Lenox same thing. Phipps Plaza Valet lot same thing. Still has nothing on my second home South Florida.

Edit: A CGT is a Porsche sorry for that redundancy.

Is the 997TT and lambo pics from the shop at Motorcars of Georgia? What's with the tractor?

I saw a ssssssssick DB9 yesterday turning into the Georgian Terrace. Black, tinted, nice rims - similar to HREs but I don't think they were. Not too blingy or huge, they looked great.

Last weekend I saw three Conti GTs and a gold/copper Murci. The Bentleys were all around town and the Murci was also near the Georgian Terrace.

The E46 M3 has been officially dubbed The Buckhead Camaro. I saw _five_ of them yesterday, not counting mine.
