Easy I seriously can not believe how many 8's you see. SHEEEESH! I hardly ever see them it seems like. Even the 8s I tag never make their way over here.

Spotted a TI with some chrome rims in the drive-thru at Schlotskys on Country Club and Jaunita Dr. at about 12:30pm. Me and the co-workers were having lunch outside and one of the guys said ,"hey their's your car". Thought it was for a second.

Caught me trying to go to Pier-1 Imports. Oh and we were coming back from the youngest son's and heading to the older son's. It was visit the Grandkids Day.
I did spot a VR getting off the East bound Loop 101 at Northern.

The car was heading North from the I-10. I saw it just as it was getting off the freeway onto the ramp. So I really didn't get close enough to tell what the tags were. It was about 12:00pm something.
If it was you ,good to finally se ya,,, LOL

I like the 143 South to 10 East. Second apex down in the paint stains. Almost always another car in the way, though.

Yikes! I hope you're talking exit speed after the long straight onto the 10. I don't think I've ever had to go above 3rd gear before the trackout point of the corner.

Ah, very different corner.

I like the I-10 East after the Deck Park tunnel as it turns South.
If no one is in the lanes I use all four from the carpool lane to the inside of the curve, then back out to the carpool lane. ZOOM ZOOM

Oh ya ,,I spotted a WB on N. bound Ironwood at the US60. Honked and the guy driving didn't see or hear me. depression sets in.
