Your rare exotic car sightings (West, Mart: Valentine's day, tenant, tax)

[banal]

I have seen a black Ferrari 458 Italia (with New Mexico plates, west side), 2-3 Audi R8s (mostly on i-10 and the west side), a handful of Corvette Stingray C7s (not really an exotic but still a really nice automobile), 2-3 Maserati Gran Turismos, a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo (have seen this one multiple times in the past few years, usually on the west side near the Ripe Eatery), a red Ferrari California, multiple Nissan GT-Rs (2010 model year and up), a 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago, and more recently a black Lamborghini Aventador (4-5 hours ago near Lee Trevino and Trawood). I wish I could provide pictures but these cars are too fast for me to get a decent picture or are on the opposite side of the road/highway.

The Aventador was quite a surprise and is really nice in person. The owner obviously either just received it or is the rare vehicle owner in this city that takes care of their vehicles despite the desert (read: dusty, hot, dirty) weather.

I still haven't seen an Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, or McLaren though. What are your rare exotic car sightings in your driving tenure in the desolate city known as EP?

I've seen a few GTR's, also saw a Corvette ZR-1. It's not exotic but you just don't see a $100k Corvette very often. LOL.

There is a Major on Ft. Bliss who has an Audi R10. Everyone stares when he drives by. LOL.

I've seen that Lamborgini on the Westside, too. One time I saw a really cool Aston Martin. On Valentine's day I saw a chauffeured Rolls -- I wonder if it's possible to hire that one.

Used to live at the Tuscany Apts on the west side. There, a tenant had an Audi r8. Also saw a yellow Lambo parked there one evening, Texas plates. Saw a black Ferrari on Murchison (assume it was a doctor). Red Ferrari on I-10, ironically stopped on the side of the road, looks like he had some car trouble lol. A Porsche 911 here and there.

So that is where our tax payer funds go.

Also I am assuming you are still referring to an r8 however with the V10 engine? The audi r10 is a race car if I recall correctly.

No, that's where his paycheck goes.

Yes, it was an R8 with the V10. I had to sneak a peek one time. Beautiful car.

Anybody seen any Teslas or DeLoreans?

[banal]

Deloreans and Teslas do not count as exotics. I haven't seen any Deloreans but I have seen a couple of Tesla S models though. One was black and the other was white. Both on the west side.

DeLoreans and Teslas are domestically made, but kind of uncommon, so I thought they would qualify.

How about Bentleys?

I have never seen a Bentley before in EP. Such beautiful cars though if you ever come across one.
