pictures of exotic cars on the street

I'm sick and tired of seeing pictures of exotic cars taken at car shows or race tracks. They're all the same.

Exotic cars really shine when they're among ordinary cars. I've created a site that ONLY contains exotic cars on the street. There's a searchable database where you can view by make, model, and location. If the site grows, I'll allow users to search by even more detail (city, date, etc).

If you've got pictures, please submit them. I've already had people submit about 60 photos so you can browse what's already on there.

http://www.exoticspotter.com

Please help make this site a success as I'm sure there's many like me who enjoy seeing exotic cars "in the wild".

feedback is also appreciated.

Yes, but this guy registered over a year ago. I'm not clicking on it, but that's a long time to wait for a autoposted spam troll.

Someone click on it...

I clicked on it and it works fine. It's not super exciting, but it is what it was promised: exotics "in the wild."

Jeez, you guys are pretty tough. I thought you guys would think this was a cool site. Am I the only one with a fascination of seeing exotics on the street?

I clicked on it too, since FastDave checked it out...

gcarlson, every time I looked at a car after page one and hit page back, I got an "expired" message.

I don't blame you guys for being so worried about clicking on the link. With all the spyware out there these days.

In fact, for those who clicked on the link, I'm now able to access your computer through the hidden application I had installed through the security hole in your browser.

hahaha, JUST KIDDING!!!

That's OK, we've had several hundred attempts in the past 2 months...but ONLY ATTEMPTS! My administrator says we're not
HACK-PROOF, but very difficult to gain access. The great thing
about our system is the only info accessed is inventory and sales,
if numbers such as this interests the hacker they might find some
entertainment! ha ...or they can see all the p-car pics I've saved!

You need a Carrera GT to be considered exotic.

I love this one, you need some nerver to drive a Gallardo in New-York

Wow. Here, it would only take about a week to see all the cars on that site. Some guy out here drives a 'D-type' Jaguar from time to time. Another has a (real) 427 Cobra in bare, polished aluminum finish. We have at least one 550 Spyder, a silver Carrera GT; every Ferrari and Lambo imaginable, a few Vanquishes... There's no 'keeping up with the Joneses' in Malibu...

Actually, although the PCH show is good, the Hangover Rally meets on the Pepperdine campus on New Years morning. That's where the hard core exotics show up.
