 i beat you on this.  I saw a turbo S about four or five months ago when 
i went to Sonnen Porsche in Marin, CA.  They still hadnt taken off the 
shipping wax that they put on the paint.  It was silver.  My friends and 
i all thought that it was jsut some 911 that was given a body kit to look 
cool and then taken care of really poorly.  Hehe, little did we know, we 
werent even supposed to see the thing, the guy in charge there kinda came 
over, told us what it was then promptly hid it in their workplace..hehe

Another cool thing that i have seen was a CLK about 10 months ago, i 
believe that it was around christmas time as i was home from college, it 
may have been november.  They were doing some photo shoot for a 
commercial, it really looks good in person.

Then i also saw the C5 way before it was supposed to be in dealers, i saw 
it with my girlfriend a long time ago here in westwood, CA.  I believe it 
to be the one that Car and Driver was using in their article.  It wasnt 
even close to delivery time for the dealers.

The last cool (prototype or not yet out car) car that i saw was just 
recently i saw the new volvo coupe on the freeway.  Man is it funny 
looking.  I was coming up on it and i thought, what a wierd mercedes, 
then i saw that it was the volvo.  I*t was that really wierd orangish, 
pukinsh color too, it was being followed by a V70 AWD.  Anwyay, i think 
that they arent su[pposed to be introduced for another few weeks.  
Correct me if i am wrong.  Later all.
