My MCS vs. Ferrari 512 TR

Yea right...

It was kinda of cool this morning at about 7:15 I was coming back from a failed attempt at golf (it was raining), I had my window cracked and was sitting at a stop light.
Just sitting there tired, mad, and um tired, and I hear.."Man, Hey... Man," I look over and a white Ferrari 512 TR is sitting next to me, "Nice car man, where did you get it?" "Indi!" I shouted, He says "I have wanted one of those since them came out!" I wanted to say the same to him about his but I was only one year old when his car was produced. So anyway, the other light turns yellow and I rev my engine in enjoyment, look over at him and he laughs along, but I was thinking what if... naa!!

I followed him for about 3 miles and was just in aw of how beautiful that car was, it was very low and had probably 245/50/? size tires on the back, I just couldn't believe how awesome that car looked, especially for a '80s-early '90s vehicle, which most of during that era were squared off and just ugly, this was very smooth and attractive.

The thing that supprised me more is that I got a compliment from a Ferrari owner!

Cheers!

Mikey

Here's a pic of what it looks like:
