Default Question for you West coast guys

I watch these videos with all these BADASS cars, like vipers and ferraris, saw one with a murcielago. . . how often do ya'll see these cars? i have seen two diablos, maybe 10 vipers, and less than 15 ferraris. . . IN MY LIFE. . .i'd still rather have an SS/WS6 for building/walking purposes. . .i can't imagine how it must feel to walk some cocky bastards $300,000 new lambo with a car with under $40g into it

you've seen more ferraris than vipers? wow.

i see porches all the time, especially older ones. i see a viper once every few months. couple a year. i think i've seen one lambo, a couple real saleens, a handful of ferraris, and once, i saw a vanquish v-12 driving through the parking lot of a bookstore. funny thing is i saw it about 6 months BEFORE it went on sale in the US. somebody's got major bank. haha

oh yeah, i've worked on a viper though. . . and i'm only 17. . . this was in autotech class.

OOH!!! i'm going to see a jag XJ220 soon, a TEACHER, and autobody teacher at my school (well, actually "career center" hard to explain, central place for vocational classes in the county) owns one. . .now THAT is badass. same teacher brought in the viper to work on (not his)

this guy owns the XJ220, 3 944s, and a 959

In La Jolla, CA, I see every exotic imagineable just driving around the streets. You could easily see over 30 cars you would kill for driving around the streets for a day. San Francisco has a lot of nice cars too. Hell even my friends neighbor has one of the high end ferraris, I think its a 550 but I dunno.

Funny, i never really see many fancy cars in La Jolla. Probably in the wrong part though.

You should go to the next racelegal.com event by the stadium. More ls1's need to show up, it would be fun to line up against my slow daily driver Grand Prix.

There used to be a Diablo a few houses down from me a few years back until the guy moved. Isn't the XJ220 S quad turboed? Those cars look awesome.

Come down here to South Florida. Remember Will Smith "$100,000 cars...everybody got 'em". He's not kidding!

Name a supercar that is legal in the US...and I've seen it!
Heck...there's a silver McClaren driving around here,

Here in the bay area I see vipers, ferraris, and lambos once in a while, vipers more often and once in a while I can get them to race. I have pulled on quite a few vipers, a modena and had a race with a supra and murcielago. I have only seen 3 murcielagos.
I have a video of the race I am talking about but the murcielago got a bad start.

Yeah there are more modena's than I can count in the Bay Area. And when I go down to L.A. lots and lots of every ferrari you can think of. I even saw an Enzo once out there playin with a Zo6. That thing looked wider than the freeway lane. Looked like a red stealth bomber.

I saw a Mclaren F1 sitting in the parking lot of a car show at Laguna Seca race track. Guy must have been loaded beyond belief to just leave it in a dirt parking lot. I took a pic of it here:
