saw a grey on veterans blvd this morning, near the 17th street canal. Flashed my lights at him (I was waiting to cross the street), but he was oblivious to the outside world due to his intriguing and very important cell phone conversation.

Saw a nice Copper Shinka trying to catch up to me but he only caught up and passed when I slowed to exit on Babcock and 410. We were both going too fast to snap a pic.

Reminded me of how great our headlights look in the rearview. I thought it was a vette in the rearview at first glance.

Saw a white one with MS everything heading south on the beltway. I stayed behind the guy for a good 10 minutes until my exit came up. Right before I exited I thought I'd drive up along side and give a quick wave...

...looked like the guy was arguing with his girlfriend and never even noticed me lol.

No **** the weather sucks and I had a blow out in my bosses AMG S55 and had to change the tire in rain and cold. I was all excited to have the car for the weekend and boom! Good thing it has a brand new full size spare with AMG rim.

I still can't believe it, but I saw a frickin' Maserati on 360 near Westlake high school. I'm tooling along trying to get home and out of this junk, and bam, right there in the flesh, beautiful silver one just cruising along in the other lane. I almost wrecked my car gawking at it lol

This is what I saw, absolutely stunning in person despite the crap weather

Yeah, I saw one in my bosses neighborhood last week. Definately stands out from the sea of S classes and 7 series bimmers.

This is how I roll (for the weekend anyway)

I saw the Quattroporte in Dallas at the DragonFly bar. Nice car, but it was in brown, not my choice of color.

I see a TI and SS on 281 and Bitters all the time, but I don't think they are on this forum. Also, see a VR on 281 in the am in route to work every once in a while. Their is actually surprisingly quite a few 8's in town, they just don't do the forum business...

Spotted a VR all the way north on 360 near colleyville, over-tinted, couldn't get a glimpse of anything inside. Appearance package but no fog lights.

Saw a blue somewhere...

And saw a phantom blue owner at the dealership, interesting color. I'd like to see the strato blue in person though.
