I used to see a Rally Fighter on Comm Ave in Boston all the time. One of the BU undergrads has one and actually works for them in marketing.

Holy Shit, I had over a million dollars of cars pass by me this morning in the span of about 45 seconds!

I was waiting for traffic to clear so I could pull out of my driveway onto rt 202 this morning, when I noticed that a lime green Lamborghini Gallardo was coming towards me. Two cars behind the Lamborghini was a beautiful dark blue Bugatti Veyron another normal car or two and then there was a red Ferrari Enzo. Few more regular cars, then there was a burnt orange Lambo Gallardo followed by a white Ford GT and one car behind the GT was another red Ferrari (maybe an F458?? wasn't exactly sure)

All were heading towards east towards Snoqualmie, maybe they were going to the Boeing Classic at Snoqualmie TPC.

The Enzo and Veyron are so cool looking! First time I have ever seen an Enzo or Veyron in person

I didn't even notice how big it was... "post preview" made it look wide, but not that big.

Fixed

Try over $2MM!

I've seen Enzos (including the FXX version) and Veyron's, but never on the road...

I saw an Enzo at an event in Kirkland (they also had a c1994 Ferrari F1 car there, the owner brought the starter and fired it up for the crowd, very cool).

The only other Enzo I've seen was in the Ferrari of Seattle maintenance bays....

The back half of the car was disassembled so the techs could work on it. Got to see all the guts of the car. Very cool, too.

An early 70s Cadillac Eldorado cum El Camino conversion. Actually looked like it was decently done...
I saw the Eldomino again this week -- at the same intersection of all places.

Its now for sale. Its a '71 if anyone is interested

I can't find a pic of what I saw on the way to work on Wed.

But imagine a Jeep Wrangler crossed with a 30's Packard. Old-style grille, rounded fenders with outboard headlights on tip (and teardrop cowlings behind them). It was a Wrangler (probably a TJ), but had a fender, grille, and hood kit on. Looked nearly as well done as that 50s-esque 'vette conversion...
