Black Audi RS5 on CPW at 70th street.

Didn't know those were on the road already

 

Just saw a pearl white and orange/black pair of Bugatti Veyron grand sports pulling into miller motors after a late night drive. Got a pic of the orange one but it's really bad.

 

I am going to Miller MC this morning to talk to service mngr, I'll be sure to look for those...

 

As far as a car that was on the road today, as opposed to at a car show, I saw a blue F430 Spider with Florida plates on the Cross Bronx of all places.

 

About 24 years ago, I was coming back from college upstate, driving my Mustang GT. My car wound up getting hit with a stray bullet on the Cross Bronx Expwy. by Jerome Ave.! It took my passenger window out, and wizzed by me, and out my open drivers window. I got real lucky on that one. The part that pissed me off after the fact, was that after the window broke, the broken pieces came down after I hit the first bump. The pieces that fell damaged, and cut up the paint on the door, requiring a repaint. Then to make matters worse. the shop that did the repaint, accidentally hit the right front fender on the garage door opening as they were backing out the car. I was so pissed, my car was all original, then in one quick day or two, I had to have half the side of the car repainted. If you guys remember, back then, a repaint was a much bigger problem. the paint never seemed to match, neither did the orange peel. Now they seem to do a much better job, if a good shop does the work, it's usually undetectable.
I guess I can say, at least I didn't get hurt!
Sorry didn't mean to hijack thread, it just brought back a bad memory.

 

It's terrible, yet I've seen Vettes, Vipers and Ferrari's on it. I'd rather drive through Manhattan than on that.

Also, I saw a yellow 360 CS in Emerson, NJ tonight.

 

Cross Bronx is horrible. We take tappan zee or we use 87 to gwb at last second. No need to use that mess.

 

Have any of you guys seen this? It's not my video:

What a jerk. I hope they throw the proverbial book at him and the cop sues him.

 

What does he buy to feel like less of a Richard now?

 

Saw another supercar on the Cross Bronx today: a red R8 Spyder. Looked like it was still in one piece.

 

I could careless about that jerkoff, what concerns me is a MUCH more serious matter. The conduct of that man with a loaded weapon on his side who is supposed to protect you and I. That guy looks like a loose canon who is going to get himself and/or somebody else hurt. Blocking a car with your body?? VERY bad judgement! Then faking a foot injury? Dishonest. Then tossing that guy on the ground like that? That guy is a disgrace to the uniform and a danger tot he public.

The jerk in the car does not represent the state and walk about with a loaded gun on his side...he is just ONE of many morons. That officer is a public servant about to go fishing using YOUR tax dollars on a false claims.

 

Silver FF on the Cross County, just west of the mall, around 3:15 PM
