Default Breaking necks

Had a feel good moment today. While driving into the parking where I take a shuttle to work I saw a guy get out of his matte black P85 Tesla. As he saw (and heard lol) me, he nearly broke his neck staring at the GS as I drove by. His long stares caught my attention. When I finally looked at him, I realized it was Caribbean track star Ato Bolton! Liquid Platinum has soooo much depth in the early morning/evening sunlight. Pictures can't even do it justice. I'm sure you guys are out there breaking necks too.

I have caught a bunch of people staring recently. Upgrading my wheels and adding the body kit really draws people's attention.

I need to get a different color or replace my exhaust Last time I saw a P85... He "smoked" me at the red light. He took off and gone before I even got to release my brake

Yea I can attest to that I think being such a rare car people stare like "WTF is that?!"

I get plenty of thumbs up and compliments and "thats the new IS?"

Sadly I get no attention in my loaner ES 350 it's like I dont exist... Can't wait to get my car back.
