Fun drive to work today......

[MadMerv]

Due to the threat of nasty weather, and a new car, I chose the "199 thru downtown" route this morning. Just past River Oaks, I'm in the left lane and I hear a wonderful exhaust sound from behind. Next thing I know, this comes up along side.

I look at him, he looks at me and smiles. I immediately turn off the radio so I can listen to the sounds as he drops a gear and jumps ahead and in front of me. I was content to just follow as he wound it up a bit. How they make that 3.6 V8 sound so good is amazing! We played a bit of cat and mouse until we got to downtown and luckily caught the lights just right so they stayed green the whole way thru. Again, I stayed back and to the left to listen and watch. He gave me a nice treat as he purposely stayed in a low gear and the sounds echoed off the tall buildings.....music to my ears! I got slowed from left turning traffic, but wasn't ready to lose site of him yet, so I sped up a bit and caught him just before the Sonic. I didn't have to slow down as he accelerated away, just enough to let me stay with him. As we came out on 121, we were at 80+, where we stayed until traffic got heavier, then backing off to a more sane 70. I hoped I could drool over it longer, but he exited at Carson and, smiling, I turned the radio back on.

I sure do like that model. And I despise the way the Corvette tried to emulate parts of it. A Ferrari is always a nice find

I found 17 of them at a tiny restaurant in the middle of nowhere once...

In my parking garage at work there are four brand new DB9 convertibles that park next to each other. A fifth DB9 (coupe) owner also brought his new toy the other day: a metallic white 2007 911 Turbo. What a ridiculously awesome-looking car.

Do you work in an office filled with lawyers or lemmings?

Seen the DB9s when I last did lunch with S. I think it is some law firm partners that thought it would be cute to have matching cars.

NOT MY FIRM. And yes, the DB9 drivers are lemmings. Evil, rich lemmings.

This summer I was lucky enough to monkey around behind the wheel of a 360 Spider, going sideways just enough to make the owner a little nervous - needless to say, it's quite a ride...

If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up...

OMG that is my all time favourite next to the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder!
