Today I was walking to the park and a sweet red sports car drove by with a logo of two flags, one was checkered and I can't remember the color of the other flag but I'm pretty sure it was red.

It was a beautiful car, but I'm looking up car logos and I can't find it =[

Anyone know what kind of car it was?

Corvette! It was a little red corvette with it's hood down just like this one!

I was looking at several logo sights and they did not have corvette! Shame on them!

I think corvette's are soooooo purty!

Now onto the harder one...figure out what that shiny grey sportscar I saw at the beach was without knowing what logo it had. Dx

I'm not 100% sure but I think the car I may also be a corvette, because the one I saw had "chubby cheeks" like this one does. Even if it wasn't the car I saw I slammed on my brakes and screamed out loud "OH MY GOD THAT'S A F-ING BADAZZ CAR!!!" it was such a BAMF.

This is also a vette albeit with some custom body work.

The red one above is the current generation known as "C6" it is set to be replaced by "C7" next year as a 2014 model.

but I am more of a Italian Exotic guy myself:

I can't figure out what car this was =[

Behold the 458 Italia, autoerotica from the country of Sophia Lauren.

Lamborghani Aventador

I can't figure out what car this was =[

Alpha Romeo Competizone

I can't figure out what car this was =[

Then there is the Zonda R

I can't figure out what car this was =[

They may cost a fortune to maintain and buy, but there is a magic to Italian supercars that is not replicated anywhere else.
Thanks for this!

Well I don't think it was the car I saw, but it was beautiful, and it did have chubby cheeks. I'm not big car girl, but when I saw it in my rear view mirror I literally slammed on my brakes. It was a beautiful car.

I come from a law enforcement family, so I like cop cars, although I prefer more of the older styles. I hope new ones will have more futuristic defensive tactic mechanisms on it. BAMF

Lovely sports cars I'm sure, but I prefer more understated elegance.

Nice looking car

psst (lowers voice to whisper) just don't tell anybody it is really a re-skinned Volkswagen Phaeton

Then of course the Rolls Royce Phantom and Silver Ghost are really just reskinned BMW 7 series.

Thanks but it doesn't matter one bit when I get behind the wheel. Admittedly the VW Phaeton was a monstrosity, but since the 2012 GT, Bentley has changed everything so much for the better.

Come this June I'll be trading my 2010 in for the more efficient twin-turbo 2012's V8.

Honest John's latest spec if you're interested.

I do actually love the Corvette. Just not in canary yellow.

2nd in line is the expense of mothering my 14 year old girl cousin.

As far as I know, Bentleys are still made in Crewe, Cheshire. The Pyms Lane factory on the west of the town produces these cars but under the VW subsidiary, mores the pity. I needed a car for clients, a fast car for international travel and my job demands something good. I bought the GT from dad at a very good price. it was just too good to refuse. Last time I took the Bentley on a long run it was at 185 mph down the D76, a derestricted autobahn from Frankfurt, Germany. But I was still effortlessly overtaken by a Mclaren F1.
