I posted these pics in NorCal section...thought I'd post where the car deserve to be.

Spotted Larry Ellison (co-founder of ORACLE) on his way to his office today. I waved at him, and he actually waved back. Then he started weaving through traffic like Speed Racer. Exhaust sound was amazing btw!

as i mentioned in the other thread, this is totally awesome. huge respect to larry for actually driving the car (and apparently he drives it quite often since a lot of people have spotted it), and he drives it the way it's supposed to be

lmao, everything is relative. i would say i drive my m3 the way it should be too (most of the time). it would be pretty crazy if i do that in a camry, but some cars are just more..... capable

That's awesome! Nice spot. Wonder how many miles he has on it?

Edit: Just got this off Wiki..

"Cars

Ellison owns many exotic cars, including an Audi R8, and a McLaren F1. His favorite is the Acura NSX, which he was known to give as gifts each year during its production.[17] Ellison is also reportedly the owner of a Lexus LFA and a Lexus LS600hL"

to be very frank, for those who truly love driving and the feeling / connection when driving a high performance cars, they should love the nsx and lfa. at least that's how i feel

Right . . The LFA took the NSX's concept a lot further so it felt like a race car from the get go, with a luxury interior, and that happened just when you fired up the engine.

I wonder why he did not pick Ferrari?

I weave thru traffic on my way to work too, because it is not possible to make the route of my commute from home to work to be on a track

People always say take it to the track, well I want my speed fix right now during my commute.

Because he already have 10 Ferrari.

He appreciate the NSX and LFA means he appreciate quality and engineering more then image. Being well known to be one of the top 5 richest man on earth, he doesn't need a car for showing off purposes. Only poor people like me need a Ferrari to hide my poor status.
