My fiancé and I used our earnings from the sale of ExxonMobil and Halliburton stocks to buy ourselves a new car. We got ourselves a Porsche so we could continue to contribute to the financial well-being of the oil industry.
Our wonderful new Carrera S
Ok ok, so I lied and we didn't actually buy a Porsche.
In reality, we got ourselves a Ferrari.

What? You guys still don't believe me?
Ok, fine, we didn't buy ourselves an exotic supercar, we got something a little more affordable.
Our shiny new Pontiac Solstice

Any reason for getting the Solstice over the Saturn Sky? Wish they would come out with a hardtop, hard to justify getting a soft manual top in Toronto area weather for me.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

How would I know? For one thing this Solstice doesn't transform into a robot, but more importantly, it's not ours. This is just a thread for posting pretty car pictures.

Lying is a felony, ma'am. I shall have to report you to the authorities, I read that somewhere.
Salm has a point. Porsches are all too common today and, for my money, you want the classic 911 anyway, not the same-damn-design-as-everything-else cars they build today.
There were no Porsches but classics in the village I grew up in. The guy on the end of our street had a couple of nice Maseratis and Astons though.

No kidding, it's not a proper 911 unless it has an air cooled engine and a whale tail spoiler.

It's all about getting the lighting right. Even my dad's '97 Buick LeSabre can look decent if I photograph it right. I didn't quite get what I wanted here though, the angle's wrong and there's too much crap in the background.
aerius: I'll vote for you if you sleep with me. Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.
Because if I had a scanner, I could show you the pictures I took of my Neon back when she was brand new.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

It was from an online hotrod mag website. I can't recall the exact address at the moment.
And did KITT always have that goofy-looking air scoop on the bonnet? Urgh.
That's not KITT, you Philistine!!

Having seen an original "edition" of the 60's Bat-mobile in person (IT had a working horn and everything, although I missed the previous showing which had a bald Kevin Spacey driving around London in it) I must say - Ha Ha.

Who cares? It's still an awesome car. (That has apparently gone up in value if you have some of the nicer models from over a decade back, judging by the price my dad's 15 year old model got sold by a friend a year back in lieu of lawyer's fees).
Also, ahem, here are a few more:

It could be the Bandit's Pontiac Firebird, which is the same car as KITT only not modified slightly.

And Death, you fail. The point of this thread was pretty cars, not some of those jokes.
Although that Eldorado would be pretty sexy in white. God damn I want a boat-car. Fuck the gas, fuck peak oil, I want loads of steel between me and the next guy. My friend's friend has a 72 Lincoln Continental left to him by his grandfather. Beautiful copper paint job, black leather interior, car is fucking mint. His grandpappy took good care of her.
