Whats in your parking lot at work?

[Diablo Mike]

I know there are quite a few people here who work in the aftermarket, but even if not, what do your coworkers drive?
I work at Powerteq (Diablosport/Edge/Superchips/APR/Dinan/Range) in Sanford FL. Lucky to work with a bunch of enthusiasts and for a company that needs lots of vehicles for R&D.

Here's a sample of what we see here daily:

2020 F250 6.7 R&D vehicle:

2019 Ram 6.7, owned by one of the calibrators:

2019 M2 Competition, project manager:

2016 Wrangler JK 3.6:

05 Neon SRT4 ACR (big turbo):

Shop Redeye, 9.29 @ 145 (pulley/E85/tires/Fore):

LS1 swapped 240 (procharged in pic, currently has holes in the hood for power adder swap...also runs a sequential 6 speed!)

18 Challenger 5.7, shipping manager (wifes car now, he got an 18 Scat Pack Charger):

My 2017 Charger Scat Pack:

2004 Ram RumbleBee with a fresh HEMI replacement:

2016 Challenger Hellcat (software engineer):

2018 BMW 550 R&D car:

19 Ram Laramie 5.7 E-Torque R&D vehicle:

2017 Raptor R&D truck:

2018 Charger Scat Pack (shipping manager):

There's plenty more. Somehow we have like 3 or 4 guys all driving manual Coyotes. Why won't they race me in the Scat Pack?
Several other projects that don't make it here on a regular basis so I will share them when they do.

Lets see what you got!

That thing is sweet!

Very Stormtrooper-esque.

I work in an office building, there are like 4 car people, including myself. The office building owner has an all white fleet. I haven't seen his cars in a while, but he had a California T, 991.1 3RS, Navigator, F type R, Ghibli, and.. I think that's it. Every now and then his Lamborghini buddies come by and make it look like a car show. He gave me a lot of shit for parking my GT350 near his California though, which was stupid, because he double parks in the back so the closest I got was .5 spot away.

There is one SRT8 Jeep owned by some lady, which does have an exhaust and a guy I'm friends with goes through new Ford trucks faster than I would if I had won the lottery (seriously like 4 trucks in the last 2 months).

I don't have any pictures unfortunately. I did really like my old building, there was someone with a gorgeous 599 GTB in grey with yellow calipers and he would always park next to my 12 GT. I think that guy understood the mutual respect cars guys have for each others cars, unlike this current building owner.

You should fold the mirrors down on that white ram and tell him the wheels are sticking out too far.

To each their own. I dont love the big trucks, but, he's the same guy that owns and drives that ridiculous LS swapped 240 with a sequential 6 speed and a healthy turbo.
He has a couple more 240s, and a suicide door Lincoln thats getting a 5.9 Cummins swap. Clearly his tastes are all over the place, but it works for our crowd. lol.

The guy with the 918 rotates with a Bentley Bentayga, and a Ferrari GTC4 (his "snow" car). No photos but another guy drives a new GT2RS all the time.

In a fair world we'd all drive V12 powered AWD winter beaters
(At least I hope its a V12, how could you pick a TTV8 over a V12 in anything??)

This. Company pays for it and the gas, including my drive time.

OP, super cool. I work for an aftermarket automotive manufacturer as a Business Manager/Product Manager. We do a little performance stuff but nothing like y'all.

I have the lifted Tundra/Slammed Termi Swapped New edge
Boss has a new JL on 33's
Then there's IT guy's 540' M-sport
Catalog guys Modded 2500hd (it's quick)
Shipping clerks 392 Scat Challenger
Presidents 300zx
Corporate managers Vintage land cruiser
Some others

Being more OE replacement and less aftermarket modification, car people here are fewer and fewer. I'm one of the few.

Next time I am at our Alabama (APR/Dinan) facility, I'll grab a pic of their employee lot.
Never have you seen so many smallish station wagons with stick shifts in one place
They are a different enthusiast group for sure.

Cool to see the variety from lot to lot...

400-500 people at our office and, honestly, my 12 GT500 is probably the highest horsepower here when I drive it. There was a guy with a C6Z, but he traded it in and got a Model X P100D. Another has a Z, but doesn't drive it (deceased uncle's). Even our exec's don't drive that high dollar of cars. Maybe a A7 and BMW 5 series.

There's one base C6 and one C5 Vette on nice days.
A newer Challenger.. maybe a SCAT pack, but not sure. Daily driven.
Approximately 5 Model 3's
A few nice quarter ton pickups

We're a corporate office, so most people are in boring cars.

About the only cool stuff is our stuff. Now customer cars on the other hand I have a lot of photos.


Pick your poison.

My commuter, next to the spare DD.
My regular daily is a Bell 407 painted just like this one.

They guy that parks to the left of me (current CEO) and soon to be retiring (reserved spots) has 1 Ferrari, 2 bentleys, 1 Porsche, 2 MB and 2 jags... the guy to the right (president and CEO elect) has a BMW 7 series and a new 911 Targa 4s. I am the peasant in the middle with an Alpha GTR and a Wrangler Rubicon.
