Default Look what i saw...(pics)

...while waiting to be called at the Cheesecake Factory in Tampa. This was at the Valet loop. Sorry for some of the pic quality, some of them were from far away so i had resize on the digi cam.


Now, at first the Valet almost stalled out, but when the went around the loop and got some speed on it, the thing sounded like a Jet! G35 Turbo... SWEEETT!!!



Maserati Quattroporte... car is BEAUTIFUL in person. Lucky...

I raced my friend's TT G35 a year ago. Cool car, but they are plauged with problems.

Wow, there must be a lot of high-end cars at that location, like the G wagon, and a couple of E-classes (as well as an RX)

Good catch Stage!

A buddy of mine put 2 turbos in his g35. The freaking snails are huge! When he raced his bro's 05 M3, it was no contest. The g35 blew the M3 out of the water.

There are a lot of nice cars at the international mall. The cheesecake factory is a great place to eat. The blue martini is good too while you are waiting

Now i could be mistaken, but from the looks of that Maserati, its not just the normal Quattraporte, but its the special Neiman Marcus edition, only 60 made, all in that color.... they sold out in just 3 minutes of going on sale. I've seen them going on Ebay for over $140,000.
