They do look really good. I prefer the front of the CTR (it's visually wider and lower to me), but I'd probably choose the ITS if I were in the market.

As a whole, I think the ITS looks more DD-able, looks wise.

Shocking how small the car is when seeing it around the typical DD fare.
Sounded great, too

Rather tame compared to most vehicles in this thread, but my God this thing was perfect. Manual, tan interior with wood trim instead of carbon or aluminum. What a classy spec

Not a good pic of a S1000RR. I'd love to ride one once.

Same here, but just for the day. A bit too focused for my kind of riding on a daily basis.

Sort of like the 1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma that I bought new and sold 5 years later to get into a BMW GS, which I still have.

Thanks here is the Camera info:

Sony A7R III
Canon 85mm 1.8
Exposure Time 1/100s
Aperture ƒ/1.8
ISO 640

Also keep in mind there is heavy editing on it - I will share a lightly edited image below, for comparison.

lol! Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’m not a fan of SUVs I’d take that Bentayga if someone gave it to me. I just couldn’t drive it fast enough to get it wrapped a different color.

No worries, I understood you. I wanted to see who owned it, parked at the Gaylord in DC.

Manual?
Porsche should have kept the GT3 badge from the 997 gen, it’s bigger and I find it looks better when that’s all you have back there.

I really like the 488, especially Spyder, but the wheel gap is silly with those cars…

When i saw the 488 i had to turn back and pull up beside it for that pic. They are such nice looking cars.

The pink one seemed to be a chevy. Well at least the center caps had bowties on them. A few blocks after the pink one a 57 bel air was kitty corner to me but there was a 4runner in the way. All I could see was the front grill then as they got to the other side of the intersection I could see the fins to confirm 57. I am not an expert on the differences between the 55 56 an 57 other than the rear fins of the 57.

Close. The 488 was at Tempe Market Place. The Chevy was in Mesa at an intersection at Alma School and the 60.

I believe it. LR is known for their off roading abilities.
