Na both were men. The guy in the red NSX looked/drove like a douchebag. The guy in the GranTurismo was older and more mature.

^My friend bought one when it first came out. After 800 miles the 5th cylinder lost compression and kept misfiring. It was sent to Ford and for some reason they couldn't fix it. They bought the truck back from him and gave him $8000 towards a pre-owned 08 Roush Mustang.

Interesting story...I think I'd rather have the Roush anyway.

I've been seeing a lot of B7's lately and they all seem to have ghetto ass chrome rims on them. Those appear to be the stockers but still ugly in chrome

There are quite a few B7s around here. They all have the concave 5-spoke wheels but I've never seen a chrome set.

Yeah it's clever. The first time I saw this car I didn't have time to take a pic... I'm glad I caught it again, it's a really cool car.

Two days in a row I've been noticing themes. Yesterday's theme: High end special edition luxury sedans. Today's theme: Supras!

Alpina B7's come with forged 21's from the factory in a 21 spoke design or some number of the sort, they look amazing!

But even better in motion!


Those 5 spoke 21's you guys are seeing are the Style 128 rims, IMO in chrome they don't look that great, silver is better for them.

I love the 21 spoke wheels. I saw a B7 about a year and a half ago and I loved it in person.

No pictures, because I didn't know what I was looking at, but today I had a car behind me with purple headlights. I shook my head and thought "ricer". I checked it out in my mirror as it approached and it looked like some sort of newer Hyundai.

As the car got closer, the purple tint disappeared and turned white. Then I thought, "huh, must be the angle of the lens." The car got next to me and I looked over at an older man driving it. Wondering why an older man would choose such an odd temp for his HIDs.

The car pulled past me and I looked at the back. Then it was "What the hell is a Maybach?" Now I get home and find out what it is. Honestly, not really picture-worthy.

I don't know who's to blame for me thinking a $300k car looks like a riced out Hyundai.
