Wait… so two long-term GTP members were within 10 feet of each other and didn’t say hi?
 
I saw a new Malibu today, and it's funny how tiny they look in person compared to pictures online. The side profile was very nice, as well as the front, but the rear was somewhat ugly. I don't like how it looks so thin as well as the fact that the back is flat and doesn't flow with the rest of the body. It also doesn't help that the tailights look like they came off a Suzuki Aerio sedan!
 
Matt obviously knew who Doug was, but did Doug know who Matt was?...

Of course!

Trust me, I won't graduate without meeting Matt; we've already discussed going car spotting together a few times, but he lives quite a bit north of town and I live a bit south of town so it's a bit cumbersome.
 
As it turns out I was actually in a big rush to get out of Buckhead. I just saw from the main road a flash of a small Audi. I had to turn in and see if it was who I thought it was. I rushed over to the next stomping ground knowing Doug would soon be in pursuit of my location. I promptly hit the interstate afterward.

We'll surely meet sometime this month Doug. I've got another appointment on Peachtree before my next surgery which will be at the end of the month.

Let me know! You've hit me on my busy time (with finals coming up the first week in May) but I may be able to squeeze something in. Give me a PM anytime!

Nothing to interesting, I know.

From last week, an 08 reg (less than 6 weeks old) 911 GT3:

It's <5 minutes fom where I work, so on the off chance I remember my proper camera, I'll pop back tomorrow.
 
Nice spot on the Harlekin, Roo. 👍
Apparently, this is the one car that can show you just how ignorant the folks at RiceKiller.com can be.
 
I laughed my head off when I saw the A4 and thought, hang about isn't that Doug's!?! Brilliant!

Good spot, as I never saw a decent car in all my trips to Macau. Only that black Maybach in the foyer of the hotel near the Lisboa. Did you visit Hong Kong too? You must have done I guess.

The only thing of any note last night:

Nissan GTR

This was another new one as I didn't recognize the license plate as being the same as on any of the others I have seen. It seems that people are mainly buying these in white or black. It's certainly a cool car but the more I see them, the more awkward they appear to look in light shades. I think I would take a black one. If Nissan was selling these officially here, they'd be making a fortune. These cars seem to be popping up all over the place so as it is, the grey-importers are cleaning up!

Continental GT Speed

Have you ever driven a Bentley Continental? It's like driving a canal barge powered by four supercharged big-block Chevy engines. Supremely comfortable and amazing to hustle in a straight line, but ask it to turn a corner and it wants to punt you off into the pondweed.

Hyperbole aside, they're terrible drivers cars. Booooooring. Huge boot though. Enough for a couple of dozen refugees.
