Default Saw a Z8

I saw a Z8 on 4th Street in Santa Monica yesterday at around 2:30 pm. WOW, that is one sweet ride. They look sweet on the road.

Hey Matt,

I think I saw the same one, a few months ago, and at the same location. So far, I've seen 2 Z8's in the LA area. The other one I saw was on the 405 freeway going south.

Whats it with the F355 and the high end exotics in Santa Monica ????

I went to SM for a business trip, and I was in my co-workers Avalon, a fairly quiet sedan, then I saw this black F355 next to us and before he enter the tunnel (from hwy 405) he double cluthced into 3rd (or maybe 2nd .... it was loud), and conducted a beautiful symphony with the V8 and the echo .......

Then I saw more F355 around 3rd street and Wilshire.

Where are the rich people in MD ??

I pulled into the parking lot at work the other day and parked next to two Porsche 911 Carreras, one silver and one red. Across the lane was a red Jaguar XKR. At the space next to the walkway was a red Acura NSX-T. Coming back from lunch I followed a silver BMW Z8 into the parking lot. I sure am glad I upgraded from an F150 pickup to the S2K, but I am still out of these guys league.

One of the goals in my life... Taste a 355, a 360, or an F40.

I'm no big fan of american V8s, but gotta love those italians.
