Bad ass sightings thread:

Just anything randomly bad ass that you encounter in your travels or everyday life. I'll start with this Lambo Muira on Mullholland today. Should have filmed it, it sounded soooooo bad ass.

cool thread, Denis. This is what greets me everyday as I drive into the gate at work:


an SR-71 and a Y-12. The Y-12 is serial number 6924. The very first oxcart to fly.

'Merica!

Couple of years ago, I woke up to FLASH, BOOM! FLASH, BOOM! Over and over. Every few seconds the cycle would repeat. Hopped out of bed, grabbed my camera and took these while standing on our back porch...

Misty desert sunrise taken a few weeks ago. This was almost a "double rainbow" moment for me. Pics just don't do it justice.

lunch break in Dayton, OH



different day in Dayton, OH



Baton Rouge area, truely random. This is in the parking lot of a steel company. I was there buying tubing to build something and a really attractive blonde drives up in this beast.



Baton Rouge, in traffic




This was an organized car show, so maybe not honestly random. It qualifies as random for me because I knew nothing about it beforehand and was only in the area to get a burrito



Same show.



parking lot of some chain restaurant in Baton Rouge. This thing is awesome!

These hung out at the Four Season in Houston this week. One is an SR8 (~430hp) and one is an RXC (~380hp)

I also got to watch them build this construction crane out of the window at work. The crane went up where they imploded the Macy's building last year

Yep, that's 3 or 4 guys standing on the first horizontal portion which is, I think, where the motor and the counterbalance weight if there is one is. I think they are about 20-25 stories up

That's a 65. Would have had a 389 with a tripower if it had multiple carbs
