 Friend of the site Javier A. Ortiz was kind enough to send in this picture of a black Bentley Continental GTC he spotted while vacationing at an undisclosed location. The color scheme of black body and black convertible top is VERY popular for the GTC. In fact, about half of the GTC's I see have this exact same color scheme. Memo to America's Bentley GTC owners: Let's mix things up a bit! I would like to see Bentley GTC's in more exotic colors. Your Bentley GT owning brethren are bold enough to roll out with their cars in red, green, blue, and other colors. A GTC with a canary yellow body and a canary yellow top would be unique and a total win. We could call it the "Look at Me GTC"... Mansory, feel free to start working on that. Just because one drives a pricey customized black Porsche Carrera does not mean he is above indulging in the joys (I use this term loosely) of the McDonald's Dollar Value menu. (^_^) In other news, this video emphasizes the value of SPEED in business. Though Porsche Driver desperately wanted to spend his money with the tasty local burger place, the line there was MUCH too long. So, in a perfect illustration of a market economy at work, Porsche Driver scooted across the street to a lesser dinning establishment. Why? Because McDonald's serves relatively decent food relatively quickly. Lesson to all business owners, keep quality AND service speeds up. Somewhere, Adam Smith is smiling.  08/22/2010 : Update! A lively discussion about this topic and video is talking place on L4P.com. The general feedback is that chrome rims on a Ferrari are a "no go", as they take away from the classic looks and styling of the vehicle. The question "Who is the maker of these rims?" is still unanswered, so if you know, please chime in.  <<< Link to L4P.com discussion: I'm curious about the aftermarket wheels on this Ferrari F360. 1) Who is the maker? 2) What do you think about how they look on the car? Are they an enhancement or a detraction? Presidential Limo = Super Exotic Car 08/12/2010
President Barack Obama was in Dallas this week and friend of the website Vanessa Olivares snapped a photo of the presidential motorcade as it rolled down Interstate 35. Vanessa writes: "So, I was a little mad because I couldn't get on 35 and there were a million cops. Then, I realized the president needed to ride exclusively on 35!" Great picture Vanessa and thank you for sharing it! The presidential limo (officially known as the "Presidential State Car") represents the highest level of exotic cars in terms of both rarity and customization. In fact, it's not an exotic, it's a super exotic with features including four wheel drive, windows that do not open, integrated global communication systems, and a custom interior lighting system (required due to the protective glass of the vehicle letting in so little light)!  Here's a great customized Mercedes Benz E55 AMG. It sits on Michelin Pilot Sport tires wrapped around silver and black Blitz wheels by Gianna (which are available in staggered fitments). The blacked out lights really set off the look... MANY more pictures after the jump!  Click "Read More" for more pics >>> Extreme Car Color. A discussion. 08/08/2010
 In response to yesterday's post, " Great Plates: Tesla, Corvette Z06, BMW 760 LI ", Doug writes: " "THEZ06" is fantastic and hip. This dude is rockin out a sweet ride. My thought is this: if you want a car's paint job to stand out and be eye-catching, then why go with standard colors like black and yellow? I just envision a color thats more hip and ostentatious like purple. Your thoughts.... Here are my thoughts: Doug, I agree with your comments regarding the fantastic and hip nature of "THE Z06". As for the color selection, I have some thoughts. Going with a 2 tone color scheme really enhances the "look at me" factor. So, even though black and yellow are standard colors, combining them makes the paint job fairly unique and causes the Corvette to stand out. I like your suggestion about opting for an ostentatious color in order to be even more eye-catching. There is a pink Lamborghini Gallardo that gets LOTS of attention simply because it is painted in such a unique color. I have found that exotic cars from the Middle East often have extreme customization in both color and accessories (such as wild body kits). So, please know that people in the exotic car culture are out there pushing the limits of car customization. Happy Saturday! Your fearless blogger is back with another installment of "Great Plates" (awesome vanity plates on awesome cars). Take a look: The vanity plates on this Red Tesla electric exotic car remind everyone how "green" it is. (Reader submitted photo.)  This black and yellow Corvette Z06 with bold vanity plates screams, "Look at me!". Corvette drivers are known for having outlandish vanity plates (just ask radio and TV personality Jim Rome), so for one to claim his car is "THE Z06" means both the car and driver really have to bring it.  Very attention getting paint scheme. It's like a hornet on wheels. I approve.  Closeup of "THE Z06" vanity plate. Opting for the black Texas Star plate was a good choice because it continues the black color them of the rear of the car.  Black BMW 760 LI with New Mexico vanity plates that promote the owner's business. Strong.  JoshGoler.com reader M.Z. spotted this Black Lamborghini Gallardo and sent in the pictures to prove it.
