Yesterday there was an exotic car meet down on 1st avenue and 34th street in manhattan, the aim of the meet was to let sick and disabled children sit and look at incredible cars. I was invited along with another ML55 owner.

Afterwards, I was invited to meet up at a reserved restaurant called Route 22, up in westchester. One of the incredible cruises I have ever taken part in. Once we got out of the FDR, and out of interstate 87 and onto a parkway.. My my, I dont think I have gone slower than 90mph. Suprisingly, I was able to keep dead on with a Ferrari 348, the other cars in my group were a Aston Martin Vanquish, Lambo Gallardo, Ford GT, a Silver ML55, and Acura NSX-R. The Ford GT was in a class of its own, when it took off, it pulled 15 car lengths in seconds. I kept up with the ferrari 348 and NSX all the way there, I got complimented on how capable our truck are, taking bends at 110+ and keeping on the tail of those two supercars all the way up to 125. Empty roads, radar detectors in all cars, Fun as hell. I would have taken more pictures if I didnt only have a 16mb memory card =/.

Some damn nice cars in that lot. Whoever put those wheels on the Viper needs a taste-transplant - they don't suit the car at all.

Oh, any chance of resizing the pics to save the h-scroll? images/smilies/smile.gif

For a minute I thought you were going to say that you pretended to be a sick kid so you could sit in the cars.

That would be pretty low....but worth it! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Looks like a messed up event...I mean, come on, Corvette, "Exotic"?

Nice pictures nonetheless.

Diablo, my poster car since i was 4 and i knew what a car was. Beutiful. And a female owner. I hope you asked her to marry you.

BlaRo · May 2nd, 2006, 3:02 PM

See, now THAT'S a charitable act. Don't give money to orphanages, save up and buy a Lamborghini so you can change a sick child's life by letting them ride in it.

That Diablo is gorgeous. A female with a Diablo...every prepubescent boy's dream?

Damn, these rich kids LIVE a good life.

watto · May 3rd, 2006, 6:58 AM

^^Awesome shots... and I just saw the Diablo's number plate. Nice 8)

mojo_786 · May 4th, 2006, 7:32 AM

i also read in the paper... i think it was for the hospital in america (not sure) where the wining bidder gets a ride in a ferrari ENZO around the town. the profit goes to charity.

pretty awesome.

I usually hate on the rich who dont give a fuck about what they have and the needy or anyone for that matter, but seeing all the people that turned up showin their cars to help sick kids reminds me there is still some hope. From the kid inside of me n the person who usually hates on those retarded people who dont give a fuck I thank you.

the dude in the viper is SO striking a 'murican-muscle-car-driver pose... if i passed him on the street i would bet dollars to donuts it was an autotragic tranny, and he had a can of budweiser in his right hand...

true, and i dont pass many vipers on the road, most are mustangs, camaros or firebirds/trans ams. and almost all are autos... but they are all striking that fat armed pose.
