    in no particular order.

    Triumph TR-6 Viper R/T '70 Chevelle SS '71 Olds 442 '57 Chevy 2-door also. I'm pretty sure I saw a Ferrari 250 GTO in full race livery. hard to tell though, cuz we were going in the opposite directions on the interstate.

    If you saw an authentic 250 GTO, being driven on the interstate.... Wow.

    I'm pretty sure that's what it looked like, coulda been a kit car, too. Who ever it was he was haulin' ass in the passing lane.

    This was I-91 between Hartland Vt and White River Junction VT 'bout 1:30-ish

    Also saw a yellow 3 window coupe like the one in American Graffiti and a 2011 Camaro that was white, with blacked out wheels and two red stripes over the drivers fender.

    I'm still wondering how it was possible to see the cars that I saw today all in one day. Only time around here you'd see a group like that would be at a show or cruise. These cars were all on the road being driven in different areas over a 75-100 mile range.

    I saw a brand new Rolls, a new Bentley, a couple of old 911's, a mid 60's Lotus Elan and a new 911 GT3RS that had just gotten into a fender bender with a WRX.

    Of course, this is Connecticut...

    Probably the most expensive car i have seen on the road was a nice 300sl gullwing (~750k last i saw). I also saw a lady in a late model 911 rearend another car in traffic probably due to the fact that she could not control the car within a car length of taking off from a stop. I dont know why someone who take a car that they appeared to be afraid of in heavy traffic, but who knows. I havent ever even sat in one, but I know they are way beyond my skill to operate safely so I dont plan to ever drive one. Im not sure why she didnt come to the same conclusion, but who knows.

    Here in SoFla (Ft. Lauderdale) we see exotics every day. Bentleys are common, Ferraris, Lambos, etc. Even the new exotic Fiat 500. I just roll in my totally invisible beige Sentra.
