    @JohnInCarolina loves that white color on the exotics, IIRC
    I think you have me confused with someone who doesn't have any taste in cars.
    I like a few exotic cars in white. A Bentley or Rolls Royce in my opinion look great in white


    Liking it is one thing.  Having it as your favorite is another.

    For that Bentley there are just so many other choices that are stunning in my opinion.  



    Rolls should only be in silver, that’s not even up for debate.
    I disagree 


    I double disagree.

    I actually saw a Black Acura NSX on the road today,  There was no way I was gonna get a pic while driving so it didn't really happen.
    But props to those who have mastered that skill.  FWIW-
    Edit: spelling correction from the proverbial fat finger move.

    Bump to page one.  Hopefully some of you who travel in high roller circles will contribute some sightings.   B)

    Really bad picture but saw this Porsche 911 earlier. Haven't seen a 911 in awhile. Most of the folks driving Porsches around me have Taycan's or Cayenne's.

    Saw these two at dinner last tonight.  The Urus is high on my lust list.  The Bentley was really unimpressive.  I have seen other Bentaygas that looked so much better, especially in a burnt orange.

    The Urus is pretty badaśs SUV. 
    Sounds like a race car and rides really nice.

    @Ozzie_Isaac - the height of your orbit is impressive.  Hope the food was good.  B)

    I need video of the guy/gal/person getting into that thing.  I always wonder about that.

    I guess I'm just too old.

    I googled.  I guess I am too old, and have one too many artificial hips.

    When I was younger I remember looking into my rear view mirror and seeing the most obnoxious truck merging onto the highway behind me. It would have gave most monster trucks a run for their money. Whoever was driving it was hailing @ss. Next thing you know it's next to me and I had to look up to see who was driving it. I started laughing once I realized who it was. It was the MN Vikings QB Daunte Culpeper. He waived and kept going down the highway. 

    It's still one of the craziest vehicles I've seen while driving.

    @WeberWho - you just earned many behind the scenes points.

    There was a good article in one of our big national papers a few years back that talked about the inherent dangers of this type of mod for other drivers on the road. In an accident, the bumper is not in the correct place and instead often ends up decapitating the occupants of the car with whom the truck collides. The other car  just slides right underneath. Some provinces have limits on the amount you can jack your truck, but others do not.

    That is why we keep going bigger with every vehicle.  AZ has no height limits.  I saw one truck that just barely cleared low hanging power lines.  Land of the free, home of the mine is bigger than yours.

    I had a fun side project car in high school that I paid like $3k for. It was a 1977 K5 Blazer. By the time it was done I had 44" tires on it and a 10" lift. Probably 8-9ft tall when completed. Probably Not quite to the height of that Chevy above but it was fun sitting at the same level as semi trucks. If only I would have kept that thing it would probably be worth $30k today.
