No matter the color, this car is freaking hot! It just happens to look extra hot in some shade of blue. 😈💙🤘🏽

If there was a Grecian Water locally or Ohio (which would probably never happen). I would have to immediately put a deposit & trade-up!

I prefer the Infrared you have over Grecian Water.

California plates indeed!

Based on the color this is a rare one.

I saw this today at the Whataburger parking lot in Round Rock on 79 & Red Bud. Some stupid panel van parked between us so I could not get a picture of my car with it.



I noticed the blacked out badges and the dark aftermarket exhaust. Not sure which one it is yet.

Meteorologist of some sort, or maybe a chaser? If he's a chaser, hope it's not in the 500 (though he could outrun a lot of *****).

Those tips make me think of the GT Haus. Maybe.

That looks like a clean set up.

I wonder what this owner used to black out their badges. With the shine it doesn’t look like plastidip badges.

What color do you think that is? I can't tell if I'm seeing Cloudburst, Caviar, or Incognito lol. I like it!

I saw the car drive by again yesterday around lunchtime. So he works/lives on the area most likely.

I’ve been spotted! I live in San Diego, but the car is registered in Ohio. That’s definitely my car 🚙 😆
