After reading the article about the shady fake traffic stop on Jalopnik (wasn't that in Jersey, too?), I absolutely would not have stopped. It looks like someone went a little far with a bank heist disguise or is up to something.

I've noticed a lot of higher end hotels in the DC area (mainly St. Regis, Four Seasons, Ritz) have been switching their sedan fleets over to S400 Hybrids. I imagine that's more of an outlier though.

SCHN3LLBRZ if you were lost at "securing US freedoms" then you made it to the second to last sentence of a relatively long post. So not bad.

I used to get stuck with these as rental cars pretty frequently. The damn doors were so big they'd invariably swing open and hit the car parked next to it. So that's kind of interesting, I guess.

"XC70R All Terrain"

And he may have an A Lange & Sohne on but he's in a Hyundai, dammit.

Agreed. Black Equus in the DC area with diplomat tags always means there's a rich businessman from the Pacific Rim in the back being chauffeured around by the ambassador's staff.

Based on the shadow, that looks like a hubcap-sized Cadillac emblem chain.

Is that a Mulsanne around 55 sec?

I'm mostly apathetic when it comes to the F60, so it's funny to see it garner such vehement hatred.

G35 - before they got curvy/chicky/bubbly looking. Great sounds from the coupe as well.

Is there anyone here from the DC area that's seen a similar C63 tearing around the city? Obviously this is being sold in Texas but there is one with wheels close to the same that loves to fly down the Whitehurst Freeway coming out of Georgetown. It's got aftermarket exhaust installed; the sound makes me nearly shit…

Luckily Aston isn't anything like Ferrari or they'd be a shitting a brick over that Lagonda hood emblem. Though I'd love to see them try and enforce a cease and desist letter that targets whichever multibillionaire Emirates sheik gets their hands on one of these.

Google's acquisition of Motorola means they basically do own Android phones.

Lived in Vitoria, ES for a year and the GranTurismo seemed to be the car of choice for the few ultra-rich there. Nothing special, until you consider there's only one Maserati dealer in the whole country and, after astronomical import tax and markups, the thing sells for around half a million USD.

I remember seeing a magazine ad that dubbed the M45 a "muscle car with brains" and instantly falling in love. This car oozed class and sophistication when it first came out; unfortunately though, these days they seem to be owned largely by those with a penchant for tasteless upgrades.

Completely forgot about the F12; rookie move.

Can't say I particularly enjoyed the season opener. Hot hatches don't get me all that excited, and I still wish they'd stuck with the Suzuki Liana to avoid having to redo the leaderboard every few seasons.

Debadged trunk, smoked taillights, and shaved door handles (the latter not really applicable since the demise of Pimp My Ride).
