People around here do that all of the time and I can't stand it.

Depends how clever they are with it, I guess.

Ferrari owners are some of the worst, though.

Looks great otherwise. How did it sound?

What steams my carrots even more is that around here, there are probably a good ten versions of the custom plate 'CREATIVE'. This is difficult as Oregon only allows six characters for custom plates so what they come up with pisses me off to no end. Attention people who think you're being cute: IF YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DMV TEN TIMES TO FIND A COMBINATION TO SPELL 'CREATIVE' THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN TAKEN....NEWSFLASH!!!! YOU ARE NOT CREATIVE!

Thank you for sticking with me on that.

I wonder how you can be creative by having a vanity plate that tells you the model of your car. It's like me putting "Accord" as a vanity plate. IMO it's stupid.

Only exception would be on older cars, where they might put the year of the car and displacement or something.

If I ever saw someone parked like that car I'd intentionally park as close as possible to them.

If you notice, that red GT_R is custom painted. All of the lower body pieces are painted red instead of grey.

Yeah the noise that E63 made was orgasmic.

I can't remember the last time I saw a 928 in person. I love them though.

One of my neighbors has a 928-S4. It was my first time seeing a GTS version today though.


Here's a slammed GT3 I saw two days ago. We played tag for a good half hour. Very polite driver and courteous as hell haha. He womped me on an off camber corner going about 100. Ridiculous.

It was the first 997.2 GT3 I've seen on the road.... I see GT3RS' all the time compared to GT3's so that was pretty cool.

I saw a new GT3RS a few weeks ago. Actually I think I posted a picture of it a few pages back.

Great looking and sounding car. Cool that the guy was playing with you on the road
