Anyone Else See The Bentley?
Ok usually I don't get excited about seeing a very rare car... or at least enough to make a post about it. But this car is something special.
Cruising down Jefferson Ave. at roughly 5:15pm on the 26th going to see the lights at the park. So I come up to this black car with unique lights and some bling ass wheels. I say "hey thats a nice car" then I notice the big ass B emblem on the back of the car. Right then I was like shit that's a Bentley.
Now this isnt just some random Bentley. I don't keep up with them very much but this was a 2dr. coupe. It's was very nice. An older man and his wife were just cruising the town I assume.
Come to find it out was a newer Bentley Continental GT. Here are some specs and pictures of what the car looked like:

There's one that looks pretty much exactly like that out here in the Pungo/BFE area of Virginia Beach. Since I work down this way, I see it rolling around near the complex every once in awhile. The thing is black with limo tint on it, all the way around, so I couldn't see who drives it. Rumor has is that it's owned by Chad Hugo's parents.

You didnt look over and tell him "Nice car. What's the retail on one of those?"

The Continental GT's, in my opinion, are like the base model Civic (in the Bentley line, of course) - - of course it's still a $150,000+ car but you'll most likely see that Bentley cruising around than the majority of the other models.
