It was a very tough day at work. I was completely busted, and I needed to go home. Wanted to get as home as fast as I could, just to sit on the sofa, and do absolutely nothing else... Unfortunately... when I exit work, it's rush hour, so traffic is a bitch. I was getting really bored, when I hear this very loud engine sound. I said to myself "what the hell is making that sound?". As soon as I turned my head to the left, I almost crap myself when I spot this right next to me:  I said: HOLY SHIT!!! You don't get one of those that commonly! He got somewhat lost when going to the bridge in the midst of the traffic. But I wanted a pic... so I slowed down, and waited for him to pass me. When he did: SNAP. GOTCHA! After that, I open the window, and I hear the roar of the awesome Ferrari V8. I turned off my radio just to hear the awesomeness of that sound. The car was so stinkin loud, he was already almost 300 metres away from me, and I could still hear that sumbitch. Safe to say this was one of the best rewards after a hard day's work. ;D |

Too bad you didn't get to drive it?
It is pretty nice seeing something like that anywhere you go. I think the biggest "HOLY SHIT" moment I had when driving was coming home from work a few years ago. I came off a connector ramp from one freeway to another when all of a sudden I had a yellow Carrera GT right in front of me. It was right when they came out, I didn't even know they were, and he must've just picked it up. Still had no plates on it. Fortunately he was just cruising along so I got to check it out for a few minutes.
Most of those buildings I used to work at were offices or condos, so I would always see nice cars in the garages. One building had a penthouse belonging to one of the executives of Oracle. He had a 550 Barchetta and 360 parked next to each other, and someone else had a Z8 a few spots away. And it's a garage that had a valet that WAS NOT going to leave his job. Lucky fucker.
btw- If you don't know, the 550 Barchetta was limited production of 448.

Got that right. I wish I could drive one of those babies. I think I wouldn't get out of the car

I never realized the doors were part of the roof like that. That's really cool.

Cost me Aus $80 which is about half price as it did not come in the original box ( like I care about that ! ).
The brand is called Auto art, not sure where from probably the US.

I saw something funny, then something sweet.
First I was at the gas station and this kinda dumpy older guy in a Porsche Boxster pulls up next to me. He had just about the fattest girl you could possibly stuff in the passenger seat.
On the way back, I saw a DeTomaso Pantera, yellow w/ black stripes and a pretty cool looking spoiler. From a distance it kinda looked like a Ford GT with that paint scheme.

He obviously acquired the girl before the Porsche.On the way back, I saw a DeTomaso Pantera, yellow w/ black stripes and a pretty cool looking spoiler. From a distance it kinda looked like a Ford GT with that paint scheme. Have only ever seen one of these, a touring car version at our local racetrack many years ago.Sweet indeed. |
