I work in Cherry Creek North, a pretty expensive area near downtown Denver, Colorado. I see interesting cars driving around this area all the time. Most of these photos are from Cherry Creek, but some are from other parts of the city. This is a roughly chronological photodump of what I've seen since moving here in July. Moving forward I'll be posting these more or less as I take them. You'll notice some Instagram filters on some of these. Feel free to follow me @MarquetteLa.
Starting off strong with a Mclaren P1 back in June. Drove (a safe distance) behind him for about ten miles. The license plate frame reads "918 FOR LUNCH" at the top and "LAFERRARI FOR DINNER" at the bottom. Awesome.
Acura NSX with "MPULSIV" for a plate.
This orange Jaguar E-Type was parked at the base of Mt. Evans.
Spotted this camo'd Mercedes AMG GT being unloaded as I was leaving my very first day on the job in Cherry Creek back in July. My phone was accidentally set to black & white for these photos.
Maserati Coupe
Porsche 911 Targa 4S
Tesla Roadster!
Interesting matte blue wrapped Nissan GT-R.
Subaru SVX
Not sure what this is, but it was loud and not stock.
Ferrari 612
Citroen 2CV
BMW i8. It's incredible in person.
Rolls-Royce Ghost, as identified by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Jaguar F-Type
This Smart forTwo had a pretty loud exhaust. Louder than any Smart forTwo has any business being.
Incredibly clean Ford Mustang
Ferrari California
First-gen Dodge Viper
Jaguar F-Type S Coupe
Mercedes SLS Roadster
Lotus Esprit
If I remember correctly, this was a Porsche 911 Turbo.
Volkswagen Phaeton
These two C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06s were parked a block away from one another.
Another matte blue wrapped Nissan GT-R, this one had a carbon hood and trunk lid.
Mitsubishi Evo VIII (Not in Cherry Creek)
This BMW E30 3-series caught my eye with its wheels, but the interior was in great shape, too.
Toyota Land Cruiser
Triumph TR2 TR3 (thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the correction!)
ANOTHER Tesla Roadster.
Unfocused DeLorean DMC-12
Bentley Continental GT Convertible
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Matte gray BMW M3
Isuzu Vehicross!
Mitsubishi Evo X
Audi R8
Aston Martin TheyAllLookTheSameToMe
Never seen a Porsche Cayenne with a spare tire on the back before.
And just today at lunch, I saw two unique electric vehicles, one of which I actually got a photo of:
This orange BMW i3
And a Toyota RAV4 EV (didn't get my phone out in time to take my own photo sadly). Completely electric SUV with a Tesla powertrain sold only in California.

It looks similar to an MG A, but the taillights look different.

Someone in the Creek drives a Jensen Interceptor. I can't remember the color; I just saw it parked at a gym and it surprised me so much I almost left my lane.
If you see a little blue Fiat with the OPPO sticker on the drivers' side rear window and a bearded guy driving, that's me. I drive through Cherry Creek fairly often.

People that extend a speed dependent spoiler manually are worse than people that fake badge their cars to me. It's like an automotive version of stuffing a sock in your pants. "Look, it's like I'm going 75mph"
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

I like how this is a legit interesting spot , but only because this is oppositelock.
Where have all the lightweights gone?

Agreed. I saw one as the official course marshal's vehicle for the Chicago Marathon. I can imagine that blue looks great in person!

I was headed south on 25 last spring and we're passed (duh) by a Veyron, with an M5 trying to keep up. Very impressive sound! I was hoping it was in your collection

Not the first I've seen around these parts, actually. They look like nothing else on the road.

I've yet to see a Veyron in person, but they just don't do it for me. I'd much rather get the chance to see an EB110.

Definitely don't get that caliber of cars on the north side of town, but if you ever want to see every iteration of Subaru Outback ever sold (including, I'm pretty sure, every single Outback sedan), just take a day trip up the turnpike to Boulder.

Just keep your eyes open! And poke your head into the many tiny parking garages.

There's someone with in Interceptor that takes it to my local track with some regularity. Haven't seen it in person; have only seen it on the participant list for track days.

Looks like an Austin Healey 3000. Big and beefy by British sports car standards.

I had heard they had a long nose, but never really realised how long they were, the proportions of it are very wrong, its not a muscle car or a 1970's caddillac

I'd say the proportions are spot-on for a front-engined grand tourer.

The yellow car? It's been pointed out to me that it's a Triumph TR3, which can be seen in the very next photo below that one.
