    OH MY GOD that is magnificent! Nailed it!! Interior spec?

    I have never seen that blue before, and I'm a big blue guy. Especially on F cars. Beautiful.

    Owning a unique car gives you some idea of what it must be like to be famous, and for me, it's the worst part about exotic car ownership. People looking at something novel is understandable, but I think it's totally inappropriate to take photos, especially when they use the car as a prop for their next social media post. I also own motorcycles, and I've come out of stores to find people sitting on my bike, posing for pictures. Of course I happily make exceptions for kids, but as for adults, there's just no sense of decorum in this country.

    That’s totally not cool for someone to sit on a strangers motorcycle. Sit on some peoples bike and that individual will find himself seriously corrected.

    Apparently I'm not that observant. My wife says my cars get tons of looks, but I rarely notice. Which is fortunate, since I think it would make me feel a bit sheepish.

    When I do notice, I always try to be friendly. I've never had someone try to get my attention then act like a jerk. They're just interested in the cars. And why not? We are too, right!

    I always found this a bit confusing, how can somebody even attempt that using their frontal lobe? You don't sit in peoples' cars or enter their houses if you ever find out they don't have a lock without bad intentions, do they think the fact that they don't have doors exclude bikes from the concept of private ownership? Do they think if the guy who bought it sees that he will dap him up and go on his merry way? Motorcycle guys are very protective of their **** and no way you don't know that if you are interested in them enough to go as far as to sit on one and take photos.

    The thing that really gets me is if you wait and ask somebody more than likely they will say sure you can sit in my car or on my bike and with kids part of being a parent/guardian is teaching a kid what is right or wrong, if you just tell them go ahead sit in the car or on a bike they don’t know any better you are teaching them it’s alright they are kids after all they don’t know. They will grow up thinking it’s alright not having been taught how to respect someone’s property.

    when I was younger I loved the attention my cars would bring, now I find myself driving them at hours and to places where I can avoid any attention.
