    This guy was doing laps on 17th on Friday night, seemingly racing all comers ... must have passed by 3 or 4 times... if the terribly inaccurate proportions weren't a giveaway, the "Supercharged" badge on the rear was a sure sign. A female friend noted that "oh, how typical of a Ferrari driver"... then I pointed out that the car was not real and maybe worth $20k... maybe...

    The really sad part about these replicas aside from their obvious inaccuracies is that the cost to build one usually exceed the cost of an entry level Ferrari, the real thing.

    I was in Calgary for the weekend. Saw a beautiful white RR Phantom parked out front of Chinook mall. Only think I didn't like about it, double parked...........in a HANDICAP spot.

    I spotted that attention whore driving the silver modena coupe on 8th and 8th this afternoon. He was driving in a high gear and blasting the Pus sycat Dolls, making sure everyone noticed him. SAD!

    Where have you been? Spending too much time with the kiddies on beyond? hahaha


    Black bottom on the BB? If so, I usually see it down there at lunch time several times a year...
