Something interesting a the local porsche dealer(56k warning) The car was ordered by Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, he couldn't fit in the car so he didn't buy it. It's car 210 of 1200. I've never seen so much carbon fiber in my life.

Dont quote me on this but im guessing the threads on left and right sides are opposite from each other. Since it only uses that one Nut type fastener for the wheels (similar to f1 cars). So that it the wheels dont come loose under hard braking, if u get what i mean. And the red and blue is there so u dont mix them up?

i agree.......different colored racing locks look gay, plus the yellow brake calipers dont match, they should have been red to match all the lights.

I am sorry but I dont see why this car should be 448k....That is just rediculous. Half mill for a freakin porsche. I would rather spend 15k on a good used older 911, or 944....

But, the most i've ever been yelled at for merely looking at a car *didn't touch it* is when i was at a local exotic car dealer in Tampa.
It was saturday so a few friends of mine and i just wanted to look at the cars for fun.
So we walk in and the manager gives us a sorta dirty look and we explain to him that we're just intrested in seeing the vehicles.
So we make our way though, Aston martins and jaguars and BMWs, a few Bentlys and then in the far back corner i spotted a Ferarri F40.
Giggling like a school girl i was passing up Lamborghinis' and Bugatti's like they were tricycles.
We get back there and the thing is roped off, the rope was probably 5 feet away from the car all the way around so it was really hard to see in.
So, in an attempt to see in, or at least get a better view i *LEANED over the rope. *key word is:LEANED*
The Manager guy got completely **** on me from across the store, telling me that if i toughed it and scratched it i'd have to pay for a new paint job and i'd be banned from ever owning a Ferarri from any dealership because i "damaged" an F40.
So, being the stright forward person i am, i told him i was merely trying to get a better look, and he can f-off take the car and shove it up his ***, then we left.
I just don't know why everyone is so high-strung when it comes to F40's i mena, i know they're awesome cars but damn, i'm here to look at the car and pay respect to it, not vandalize it.
