Love the CL, very menacing. Gobs of class.

Saw not one but two of these driving home yesterday.
 
Then I saw a Maserati coupe. Boy have they come a long way since the 80s.
 
Coming in this morning saw yet another new Prius. They're all over the place here in DC.

in the news. Someone here crashed a new GT-R by driving it into a bank. What a waste. I have a feeling it was a young spoiled kid (we have many of them in Vancouver).

Forgot to post when this happend, but last week when I was at a Nissan dealer, they had one on the floor. While waiting on my salesperson, I checked it out pretty thoroughly, sat in it, etc. I thought everything about it was impressive... except they forgot one VERY important detail. A telescoping steering wheel. Call me crazy, but I think that's unacceptable in a car with that pricetag, especially since it means I can't drive one comfortably!

Yeah, there's a certain demographic in those parts...only place I have seen teenagers in late model Ferraris

They're called I think "satellite kids" Parents send them gobs of money from overseas, and they spend them on condos and fancy cars.
 
Most are spoiled, some are actually hard workers and smart students.

I've heard a term like that, yeah. One of my roomates at school was like that...not insane wealth, but his parents had enough to send him to a foreign university and pay for everything. He eventually wanted to drive (terribly, might I add, took him 3 tests to get his license, the first of which he failed hilariously) and have a car, so his dad simply wrote him a check - and he bought a loaded new Accord V6. He actually had me with him, to make sure nobody took advantage of him...but I will admit I didn't negotiate very hard He was a decent student and a nice guy though, not like some of the jerks. Exceptions to every rule.
 
Actually now that I remember it, he was afraid to drive that car when he took delivery - so he had me drive him around in it for a few days. Pretty funny.

One guy that worked with us was telling me of his "friends" that livged in the same building as him. One has a new GT-R, and a CL63 AMG, and another onee just got an Audi R8, and another got something else.
 
I see kids driving in Aston Martins around here too.

Yeah, that is something I have noticed in that area for awhile. I remember maybe 10 years ago walking on Burrard and seeing a kid in a F355 Spider who was doing a laughable job operating the transmission. I rarely see such shenanigans with young people in my neighborhood...at most a kid dorking around in mommy's Range Rover or daddy's high end Porsche. Cops around here are usually strict, so they don't flaunt speed too much.
