F430 or F450 Modena I want to say but I could be wrong. Could have been a Spider if it was a vert. Got to love the V8 or V10 500hp

To explain my van comment, NHP is taking pictures of speeders and sending tickets in the mail. Currently they are only doing it on road areas with high accident statistics. 215 from 95 to Summerlin Parkway, 215 from Charleston to Tropicana, 15 from St. Rose PKY to the Cali border (there may be others). They are using a white van with no markings parked along the side of the highway. Watch all signs cuz the ACLU is telling them that if they do not put up a sign before the camera can be triggered that they will not be valid. The camera is currently triggered by a low yield radar and if you have a really good detector you should be able to hear it before you get nailed. Now Arizona has gone to a laser trigger that is very low yield and is hard to detect. Use caution and be observant.

Yea they still do but are finding it too expensive. They decided to try the Arizona way.

Someone set a date and time for a food meet or a fun meet. Someone needs to be the meet sponsor and set it up.

Hey, I appreciate it Mario, but I just about put the OEM parts back on. Wasn't anything mechanical.. LOL But, I might need your help with something, hopefully tomorrow I will be installing my toe rod, and traction so I will finally drive in a straight line again. If you wanna stop by tomorrow, I'll PM you my address and #. Anyone else is welcome to come over and help.. (I highly doubt it)

Also, my car feels naked now without a body kit on. It's kind of weird, but I have to get use to OEM look again.

Also, I forgot to mention that the pictures came out great from the Hoover Dam meet. Bummer, that I couldn't make it.. Hopefully me and my 8 will be there at the next meet!
