Hey guys. I'm headed to Philadelphia over break, and my friends and I are going to try to go spotting at some point while we're there. Do any of you know good places to look, or any places that are guaranteed to have nice cars, that are within walking distance in the city? Any help would be much appreciated:)

I'll also be up there in a few weeks, so I would like to know as well.

Philly spotting sucks if you're driving around because of traffic. But on foot I imagine it wouldn't be too too bad. Rittenhouse Square is the only place I know of in the actual city where I think you'd have a better chance than any. Otherwise if you stuck to the big streets like Broad St then you could probably see stuff. But the roads are probably awful now and traffic always is so I wouldn't expect to see much. If you were on the Main Line which is the area that extends westward from the city, you'd find much more and that's where all the good dealerships are.

Pretty much what jon said. The main line is really good for spotting (I saw my first panoz esparente, california T, etc..), but downtown is meh. Check the rittenhouse square, especially the rittenhouse hotel.

There's a restaurant called Parc in Rittenhouse Square that has good stuff in the evening. When I was there I saw a Gallardo 560-4, 430 spider, Fisker Karma, and California there. The Four Seasons hotel is also good, a MP4 Spider stayed there a few months ago and I saw rolls royces and Bentleys. Check the Rittenhouse Hotel and Liberty Place apartments

Also check if the Veyron is still in the Rittenhouse Condos private garage. Only a Bentley was there when I was there 2 weeks ago, but id assume it'd probably be there now.

Of course it has. Dammit. Does he still have the F12 and Aventador?

No idea. I'm 99% sure the Veyron is sold though. Miller Motorcars recently got an exactly identical one in stock, and he bought it originally from Miller. Probably not a coincidence.

Did you end up seeing anything during the rest of your trip?

What about dealers? Are they promising?
