Well, its a very busy intersection of downtown Vancouver, you just stand there (during certain hours), and you'll see tons of nice cars. People are kinda over it

I personally like those wheels on the car. They should be a size smaller but they are a throwback and I think they work well.

if this was rainy/winter season there would be a reason behind it, because oftentimes people have 2 sets of wheels/tires. One for winter, one for the rest of the year. but it's middle of summer so

On the way home from the gym yesterday evening I was flowing with traffic along side a 911 GT3. Once we moved through town and got up to highway speeds he started playing around and leaving it in higher gear and getting on and off the throttle. I am completely in love with it. The sound is unbelievable and I felt like I was back at the track. What an experience this was.

The point where he accelerates hard in the right hand turn lane I seriously thought he was going to crash since he was moving so fast. But he seemed like a damn good driver and he controlled the high speed turn with ease. I wish I would have caught it all on camera but I was too focused on driving and trying to watch the car at the same time.

I don't like this new one much at all.. actually when I first glanced at it from a way back, I thought it was a Tesla S. Not good. Need character and unique-ness on a marque like this. The old one was way better.

a bigger problem is, they are bad knock-off F40 wannabe wheels. but even real F40 wheels would not look good on a 458.
