Beauty and the Beast

My colleague traded in 996 Turbo for 997.2 GT3, he has F430 Scud too.

My boy has the Pam. In fairness, he has a GT3RS also, the Pam is more his DD.

Hahaha I'm the AAA bat boy. Some of the guys are somewhat condescending though. One eye surgeon called my 911 a "starter car" and said I hadn't really arrived until I got an F-car This was at a wine soiree at the beach for the R8 and Maser Gran Turismo launch. I was like "bitch, I'm not even 40 yet!" What a jackass LOL. Doesn't bother me, he has less hair on his noggin than a hairless chihuahua.

Murdered GT3 is

I love the 550 Maranello. I know a guy who's wife works with my dad and he has a small collection of Ferraris, 4 or 5 I believe. I need to head over there.

I really really really want your "starter" car when you move on, lose your hair and turn 40... I will accept copious amounts of condescension along with it if the price is right!


People with means are good in my book, but people with means who are jackasses get my boot in their pampered arses.

I'm glad you're not a conceited prick like those dudes Rick. I mean it's one thing to think that way and talk that way in private, it's a whole nother thing to say it to somebody's face. Pure disrespect... I'm guessing his choice in cars and definition of self-worth according to the aforementioned is to make up for lack of girth

He'll get karma going round his way eventually.

You know what's sad? He was telling me this like he was doing me a favor, giving me some "fatherly" advice. I don't believe he was cognizant that he was being condescending, more like he was trying to steer me on the "right" path and let me know there's higher cars to aim for I guess?

Whatever, Porsche is the de facto brand for physicians in my town, 911 the weapon of choice. It appears like I'm doing just fine for my age.

You'd think woman would be classier and be above this as well, but when my wife brought her LS460 the first day at work, her co-worker congratulated her on her new Toyota.

I told her to compliment her friend's Flying Spur as a nice VW.

Same thing happened to my step mother. She got a Lexus GS300 and her friend said nice Toyota. She responded with how are you liking your Ford? Her friend drove a Lincoln.

did you ask him what's his feeling on being kidnapped and held for ransom since he's so loaded? haha

I guess being loaded doesn't get you class. Who would say something like that to someones face? And it's not like you are driving a piece of shit car either. What a fucking idiot.

saw this Z on the road tonight and man it was hard to keep eyes off of it. i dont think a Z can look any better than this.
Perfect stance. Super deep dish wheels and huge calipers. The red in the wheel was the reflection of the caliper

The license plate said "1 Z 2 NV"

Ehh... I really wanna like that Z, but I think the wheels are meant for a different style of car. Can't see much of it but if it was as shiny as you said, and did the whole hellaflush thing with ridiculous camber, he bought the wrong car IMO.

Is it a Nismo?

I love seeing the R8 in person. Pictures just don't do it justice. Such a gorgeous overall shape. I'm a serial nitpicker even with sexy looking cars but as time passes by I can't find much with wrong with it, and even if I can.... who cares?

Also finally saw a F430 hardtop approaching from behind slowly for once. I got several good looks at it, but I was too fixated on those awesome air scoops it has behind the windows. Looks mean.
