Yellow, F50!

I've seen this car twice. It was south bound on I-85 from Charlotte, NC.

My guess is that since the mountains are only 2hrs away with some of the hilliest and twistiest roads in the US here in NC, he's heading there for the twisties.

Re: Yellow, F50!

The 1st time I saw the guy was a few years back. I thought...great some one ruined another good Civic with a gaudy yellow and a useless wing 3xs the size of the car. But when it pulled up beside my I was breathless. I turned of my radio, rolled down the window and smiled. It's true...Ferrari exhaust is better than music! The driver looked at me like I was strenght. I just yelled back, "Sweet exhaust notes." He revved the motor for me.

The 2nd time was the same road, just after you get into Gaston county. I tried to keep up, but with a SOHC Civic, I might as well have been in reverse.

Re: Yellow, F50!

There's a guy in town with a silver C6Z06. Driving through town you can't here the motor or exhaust. My stock Civic was actually louder. However, I've been next to him on I-85 after he's downshifted and it sounds like a beast's been unleashed.

Re: Yellow, F50!

A guy in Gaston County, NC has a 308GTB. Rumorred to also have an F30. I've seen him in the 308GTB driving around. I say him driving a different car Saturday. It was the replacement for the 360 Modena. He was going the opposite direction and I didn't think of my camera phone until it was too late. Here's what he was in!

Re: Yellow, F50!

That's what I said to my wife. She said I was over reacting. Some people just have NO appreciate for art!

Re: Yellow, F50!

i once saw a red F50 in a circut city parking lot.
i stared for like an hour.
my mom and sis got tired and went in while i stayed out there and looked at the car for like 30 minutes.

another time on my way beck from early morning swim practice and saw a few astons, a corvette, and some vipers drive by. turned around, much to the dismay of my sister who was riding with me at the time. LOL

I would have turned around too, much to the dismay of my sister if I were in your shoes!
