    Can’t say that I’ve seen an Army green Ferrari before. Sorry that the pic isn’t centered very well. I had to lay the hammer down to catch up for the photo op. 




    Hammering down and then nailing the pic is nothing I would attempt.  Let the shotgun rider grab it or just follow til stopped.  But if pacing in the normal red Ferrari then I get the deal.  😁
    Cap, you grew up in the era of no seatbelts, cigarettes with the teacher during school, and asbestos in everything.  You are worried about a lil’multitasking while driving in order to get the shot?

    Yep-There is no chance I could one hand grab the shot with a phone camera at such clarity (even if edited) while paralleling the course and speed.  When behind the wheel I am all in with spirited driving but that's my sole objective.  Clearly I need to get out more-he!! I do not pay any attention to the phone when behind the wheel. 
    I will admit that I spend a great amount of time in the left lane and respect the cardinal rule, "Don't drive slowly in the left lane."  🏎

    200 kph isn't even 130mph.  That is still coffee and newspaper speed in Arizona.

    I remember when the speed limit on sections of the Interstate in Montana was "Reasonable and Prudent."  You could cover a lot of miles in short order under that limit.

    It took me a bit before I noticed this, but the VW we had actually displayed that symbol right above the speedometer in areas where it applied.  Once I realized what it meant I was like…. yeah baby!

    Oof.  Fiat sold less cars than McLaren in the US last year!  So if you see any Fiats, start taking photos, they are exotic!

    Nice find by your friend, @Foghorn.

    Was in my first Tesla last week (late to the party, I know), and I was pretty shocked at how tinny the doors felt. My interaction with the vehicle was limited, but I can’t say it exuded luxury during my short trip.

    I bet half of those McLarens were sold in Atlanta. They are everywhere around here.

    Re: the GT MK II, just read there were only 45 ever built with an MSRP of $1.2M. Ford states it’s their most advanced and exclusive track car ever.

    Great unexpected find. Hopefully you crossed paths with the owner inside. Not sure if it’s just the photo or if it was also this way in the flesh, but that machine looks freshly waxed.

    I did find the owner but he was with his SWMBO so I didn't spend much time talking about his ride.  That is the finish-likely ceramic coated.

    With that ride, I would have anticipated he was there with his gf. 🙃

    Sep. 1952, LA to New York and back in a 47 Caddy, non-stop.  Lots to like in this story...
