Pictures from a small Exotic get-together at a restaurant in Washington, DC - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Last weekend, I was invited to ride along in my friend's DB9 to an invite-only get-together at Teatro Goldoni in Washington, DC. The dinner was excellent, and afterwards we went to a roof-top lounge and eventually moved to another club called the Shadow Room. I was the designated driver so I got to drive my friend's DB9 back to Baltimore from DC

There were 15 cars total which just BARELY fit on the block (check out how close the Murciélago and Gallardo are parked). While we were hanging out outside after dinner, an Aventador just happened to be cruising by so he stopped by and talked to us for a little while. My camera was already packed away in the DB9 so I just grabbed a shot on my cell phone.

LOL! I ordered the salmon...then when I saw the chicken parm that my friend got, I was disappointed

The salmon was amazing, but the chicken parm would have filled me up more. But it was all free so I'm not complaining.

Haha nope. This one is owned by 23-year-old Saudi Prince from the royal family.

^pretty sure Bryan's car is still wrapped from the gumball rally.

Awesome shots but man those 430 wheels look awful on the 360

Well I'm 6'5" and I am very cramped in that car, even as large of a car as it is. It's clunky, it rattles over every bump, and it has a really stiff clutch. So basically exactly what you'd expect out of a British car lol. It's fast, but not as fast as you'd expect for all the power that it has.

It was cool to say I've driven it, but in all honesty I think they're way overrated (and especially overpriced). I used to love them because they were unique, but now I know why not very many people have them.

I see that Audi almost every week walking into work in DC coming from the DoT building.

Not sure why there were no Porsches. My friend who owns the DB9 also has a Porsche GT2 euro spec but you don't wanna drive something like that through the streets of DC haha.

i agree 100% and nobody believes me, and the interior feels as cheap as a ford focus!

OBEEWON · 06-29-2012, 12:09 PM

Great shots man.

I was hoping to see a One77. Rich people like having their shirts open.

Well I have to disagree with you there, I feel like everything looks and feels amazing with the interior. Suede dashboard, pillars, and headliner. Piano black inserts, brushed aluminum gauge surround. This pic is just for reference...my friend's is slightly different.
