Default saw a GT-R today

Actually I saw it Saturday, out shopping with my wife by the Mall. Red GT-R. Dam thing looked sweet.. My wife didn't really see the big deal, until she realized everyone in traffic was breaking their necks to see it.. I gotta get a camera phone. We stayed beside him for about a mile or 2. He was grinning the whole time. I was trying not to stare, but I had too. Also saw a few very nice Challengers too. Was a good day for cruisin.

I've seen a few. One particularly sticks out in my brain..

I was riding back from a club in downtown denver in my buddy's Audi All Road on i-25.. we see black gt-r merge next to us. he's riding at our speed (65) next to us and he just floors it.

the RATE at which that car accelerated blew my mind. it shot like a ****** bullet. the thing that made it so incredible too is how smoothly it did so. the cars weight didn't even look like it shifted back. it just left us in seconds.

ughhh. my buddy has a huge medical settlement going through with the military right now, and he says he's gonna buy one. i'm gonna be jealous lol.

There's a white/black one here in Columbia. The guy was actually an actor in the last F&F. He has a GT-R and a 427 C5 vette which sounds like the damn spawn of satan when he takes off.

Same here usually. Of course there's so many of everything around here, so few things make me turn my head. Of course a sexy Ferrari rolling by is always a nice sight.

That's why we've been married for 18 yrs. We actually enjoy doing stuff together. Plus I got $300 worth of steaks for the summer at sam's club. That was for my B-Day, which BTW was yesterday..

I never knew there were many in the US. I read somewhere that they weren't delivering them, but instead tried to lure you into a 370 Z. Not sure where I saw that article..
