Saw on my way to work

Maybach.

Saw it this morning on Rt 80 west in NJ, had manufacturer plates on it. Really nice car, probably too nice to be out in the hellish morning traffic. And if you thought a Lincoln TownCar was big, think again.

Dang, that must've been a sight. Those cars are what, like 16 feet long? Thats what i seem to remember, not quite sure on that though. Thats long than my room!!! One of my friends (who is always full of BS) says he saw a McLaren F1 on his way back from Little Rock one day, but it was probably a Fiero with a paint job

yeah, it was a sight, black with a tan leather interior. Unfortunately, I couldn't grab my camera, I would have loved to grab a couple of pics.

I too didn't think they were in the states yet, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to see it at the NY Auto Show. I know that there are only a small number of authorized dealers, but I won't even have time to stop by and ask if the thing is ready for the public, or if it was just out for a road test.

I've been waiting to run into one of those... Living in LA you'd think I'd see one here and there. When I do I'm gonna follow the guy, hopefully I'll be on my bike so that I can keep up. Just want to see it up close.... maybe I'll get lucky and get to sit in it.

No, it is just deceptive.


Yeah Rt. 80 is a blast going to and from work. Especially all the idiots who can't drive between miles 60 and 57 (for some reason they can drive elsewhere, but forget for that 3 mile stretch).

No thanks. Though Jersey is right up there in the traffic jam capitals of the world.

I dunno what it is, but no one in this state can merge or yield correctly. Makes for some interesting drives.
