Default scdroptop spotted in the wild

I was driving home today and saw a black PB in the distance so I slowed down to let her/him catch up to me. It wasn't until we came to a full stop at a red light before I noticed it was a 05 SC430 PB. Since there isn't a lot of PB's running around I decided to follow it for a while in it's natural habitat.

Followed it for a good 2-3 miles, sure is a speedy little fella. We reached speeds of 50+ mph. Don't worry since the posted speed limit is 45 but I had a hard time keeping up since I drive like a granny.

It was great to have 2 PB driving down the street together though.

Pictures below!!!

** this is all in good fun too Derek so I hope you're not offended in anyway **

ha ha ha ha you got me!

Huy the Papparazzi!

I was driving the speed limit, wasn't I???

I was in the zone and did notice a very nice silver PB (there are several in Plano area...I've taken pics before of a lady driven one at Willow Bend Mall) in the area, but now that I know it was you, I feel bad I didn't stop and chat with you!

Truth is I was racing home to put frosting on a cake, get ready for family to come over and Best Buy to fix my TV on top of that I was running late for my Detail Werkz appoinment too! LOL...you should have honked or something! Would have been nice to catch up.

do you live in the area?

I live more in the Josey/George Bush Tollway area but I work in Frisco Stonebriar Mall area. I drive down Hebron/Park on the way home everyday because I like the twisty roads

Just a coincidence that we've run into each other twice within the last month or so. That and I think I've seen the other 09 PB in Plano too. I saw her up in Frisco but I'm guessing it's her also.

We live a few miles apart then...we've got to get together with the other DFW SCers soon. Maybe after Christmas when we are bored out of our minds, our wives, significant others/inlaws or kids are driving us nuts and we need a selfish indulgence in some car **** (as my wife calls it) maybe we can get together soon???

Yeah!!! Anytime after the New Year is good for me. I'm pretty boring so any weeknights or weekends during the day is good for me.

Any other DFW SCers have any input?

You guys don't want to get together this Thurs or Fri during the day? Or New Year's Day? I go back to work on the 3rd, but I'm off all this week.

I'm off this week also, but availability will be spotty. Choose a time and hopefully I can make it.

Anyone? How about Friday 12/31 @ 1130 at Rudy's BBQ up in Frisco right off of Dallas North Tollway? They have a pretty nice size parking lot right next to their patio area.

9828 Dallas Parkway
Frisco, TX 75034
(972) 712-7839

www.rudys.com

We can meet somewhere else; I just didn't know where everyone was coming from.

**CORRECTION - RUDY'S IN FRISCO IS ON THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY A BIT NORTH OF 121**

I'm in! Should I wear a pie plate like Flava Flav so you know it's me?

Damn -- despite the rain chance on Friday, I'll have to wash my car.

Haha, I'll be the little Asian kid that looks like he's 20 years old. I'll sit in my car till noon. I'll be there even if no one else comes since I am craving Rudy's now.

My cell number is: nine seven two - three four two - seven six three two

Here's a bird eye view of the place. Red x is where I'll park and if somehow the place is too full, we'll move to the blue x.
