very cool. I live in a more affluent area and do get the pleasure of seeing the neighbors with exotics and high end cars. Still dont think we have a Phantom in the neighborhood. Post pics when you can

That's cool!

There is an old couple (probably in their 80s) down the street from us (not too friendly looking either) that has a white Phantom and a white Lambo. I don't know what they did/do for a living but I've seen grandpa drive a Scuderia, Audi R8 and Aston Martin few times. The last car I seen grandpa drive is a white Murcielago.

I know you said you will take pics, but if you don't know the owner, I suggest you ask them if it is ok to take pics first. I'm not huge fan of taking pictures of other peoples properties - its probably my age and profession (feel st#pid taking pics without permission), or maybe I just don't want to get spotted like I'm some sort of stalker/car jacker.

Well hes actually pretty well known person...and because we are neighbors we have chatted a few times...hes chatted with my dad on numerous occasions...I still havent seen it out in the drive way since the post...i think its hibernating in the garage...I was driving my LS towards him I felt like a tank was approaching...I will make sure I ask though before I take pics.

If you know the guy, probably no need to ask for permission. Unless he prefers to have his plate removed first before you post his car on forums.

And don't get me wrong, whether you know the guy or not, feel free to take pics. I'm just not comfortable in doing, especially if its in my neighborhood and I never met the owners.
