Delivering pizzas in small-town Indiana isn't always as boring as it sounds...

Kinja'd!!!

ZR1 making his own parking spot (not entirely a dick move, the lot he's in has ridiculously narrow spaces)

Kinja'd!!!

One-upsmanship, E46 edition.

Kinja'd!!!

Dat Enclave Rendezvous (thanks, Tuned-Port-Injected-Rage and exizeo for calling my bullshit).

Kinja'd!!!

Somehow this thing was more impressive than the GT-R.

Kinja'd!!!

For some reason super-nice cars park outside our pizza place (that's our awning and you can just barely see my Focus in the parking lot on the other side of the building).

Kinja'd!!!

This was just the next building over and across the street on Friday night...

Kinja'd!!!

and Saturday night.

Kinja'd!!!

V12!!!

Kinja'd!!!

Old England's running a bit rich...

Kinja'd!!!

Jagvar-bait.

Kinja'd!!!

Candidate for the best road-trip car ever.

Kinja'd!!!

Another GT-R, probably my brother's friend's dad's car (there's 2 black ones in town that both have Ball State license plates).

Kinja'd!!!

Alpina B7.

Kinja'd!!!

Still the best-looking M3 IMO.

Kinja'd!!!

SVX!!!

Kinja'd!!!

Remember kids, money doesn't buy taste.

Kinja'd!!!

Karmann Ghia.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Dropped by the shop that put in my springs to pay them and this is some of the cars they were currently working on. Not pictured is a '68 Charger and C2 Corvette.

Kinja'd!!!

ST, my SVT, and (as noticed by twinturbobmw) an S6.

Kinja'd!!!

Don't know what this guy did to his Evora but damn does it sound good (we can hear him drive by inside the kitchen at work).

Kinja'd!!!

XJS V12 with Massachusetts plates. I'm not sure which I'm more impressed by: the balls of the owner to actually start driving it all the way here or that it actually made it.

Kinja'd!!!

And ending with one of the high school janitors' cars.

Weirdly enough, all but two or three of those pics were taken within about a mile of each other, with half of those within a quarter-mile stretch of road behind our restaurant.

Other cars I saw but didn't get a shot of: a Lotus Exige 260 driving in the rain, a 991 GT3 that wasn't on fire, a Dinan E46 and an E93 M3 in the same garage, an orange Maserati GT Stradale cabrio, two C7's (one of which was hnng Lime Rock Green), two more Bentley GT's (we have a dealership here so there's even more than that running around this town), and the usual multitudes of BMW's, Mercedes-Benzes, and Audi's of the upper-management types and their soccer mom wives that clutter our roads with their inattentive driving. All in all a good couple of days.

I got to the 850 and then just gave up. This is an amazing collection of spotted cars!

First off, most bad ass janitor ever, second, really awesome, interesting stuff like the SVX, 3000GT and the Ghia. Noice!

What is the name of this small town you live in because these are no small town cars

Zionsville, IN, population 14,000. Basically all the wealthy lawyers/doctors/scientists/businessmen of Indianapolis move here to live with all their other rich friends and pretend like cultural diversity doesn't exist.

Holy crap, that is an actual S6! I didn't notice it when I took the pic but it does have the aluminum wing mirrors. Good catch, man.

*hangs head in shame* Should actually know that, my neighbors own one.

Really is. This town has all kinds of cool cars and for the most part the people who own them are pretty nice, too (my favorite delivery ever was when I once spent an extra 15 minutes on a delivery just talking to a guy who owned a VR6 Corrado).

That's what I like about this town, it's one thing to own expensive cars but it's another to own interesting cars. And the janitor's been slowly building that truck up since before I was in high school so it was really cool to see how far it's come in the few years since I graduated.

I actually kinda dig it. Normally not a fan of the 'slammed' look but for some reason I think it looks great on a truck like this. Then again, maybe I'm just biased because I know how long the guy's been working on this thing and I'm happy to see him making progress.

Nah dude, shit happens. Don't worry about it. Good job on the finds. I'm loving that black ZR1 in the first photo.

That's probably my favorite, too, love me a black Corvette. Love that the owner actually drives the thing too, I see him around all the time and that pic was taken at a grocery store so he definitely gets some use out of it.

Excuse me for a moment while I pack up and move to wherever in Indiana it is that you live.

Stay where you're at, Zionsville's a pretty boring town otherwise. Cars are nice but the people driving them aren't.
