So ive lived right up the street from those houses for about 15 years. I rarely see them taking anything exotic out of the driveway, now thats not to say they aren't there, Ive just never seen them. Now I have seen a new tesla turning on to La Marre and guessed that was where it was going. But as to knowing anything about them or the cars, couldn't tell ya.

The LFA is insanely expensive and not any faster than MUCH cheaper super cars. However, there's something just magic about it. Where the Veyron was purely an engineering experiment to see how fast a can go. The LFA is an engineering experiment on how well cutting edge technology can be implemented into a car. It's the closest thing to a concept car that you can buy(well, not really BUY it. Fuck it's expensive.)

I was just besides an alpine white 335is on williamson I honked and gave a thumbs up but the tint on the windows was WAY dark and I couldn't tell who was driving or if they acknowledged. The exhaust didn't sound stock, but I have no idea on mods.

So, anybody else stop by Salem Civic Center at the Yokohama trucks to see them auto Xing the four Scion FRS's? They sounded great, and looked good.

Don't disagree with anything you just said, but I do want to mention that it's comparable in terms of performance to most other super cars that are well into the six figure mark. Actually, when you think about it, there are quite a few exotics that aren't impressive in terms of performance at all, but they do offer more than just performance.

Man,I went by there after work to check it out.Sat there for a few minutes,but they never drove any of them.When you stopped by my work,I didn't really realize they were FRS's you were talking about.For some reason I was thinking about.....ah whatever the FWD Scion coupe is.....Anyway,when I saw them I realized what they were.They're actually really cool looking cars.

I lol at the LFA because of its price tag for something that really isn't that great, a car that gets beat by something as cheap as a Gtr that isn't even in supercar class but has the price of a 458 Italia. You also can't just buy an LFA you have to lease it for 2 years at 200k then you can decide to purchase it for whatever the remaining price is of the car. I just see it as a wannabe supercar because Toyota has put anything decent and eyecatching on the market since the supra.


On another note I dont have personalized plates Christian so it must've been someone else.
