Ever seen your GP moving from the outside?

Have you ever seen your GP driving from the outside? If not I highly reccommend it.

The wheels are so see-thru that you can see EVERYTHING behind them when the car is moving, it looks so beautiful.

You see every single suspension and brake component, and you see the swing arm moving up and down from the bumps and road contour.

Another beautiful angle is getting in front of it and checking it out in the rear-view. The front air dam makes the car look so low, and the red mirrors stand out a mile away!

This car is just too sweet, whether you're driving it or watching it.

Nice Matt....I'll need to see that for myself...

Here's what the Shark looked like yesterday on Pali - some proofs from RC's website (he's up there most weekends selling his pics - mostly to bikes, I was the only car he snapped pics of..I wonder why? ha-ha)

I've seen more people move to the right when I come up in my GP versus my MCS and I'm convinced it's the red mirrors that let them know I mean business!

I thought the same thing about the see through wheels when I pulled along side of my wife driving 0696 right after we picked her up.

If anyone is wanting to check out their GP while it is in motion. I will freely offer my assistance. I'll even go so far as taking it to a track if you prefer to see it in motion at higher speeds.
