Apparently there were two red rocket-bunny cars at the Canibeat meet. I missed them cause I bailed. There was too much testosterone and bullshit behavior there for my old self.

Still questioning why I didn't go? I usually just roll into quickly milpitas around 9PM on Caibeat nights.

You might've ended up going home at 3am.

Nice. Getting respect from exotic drivers. I wish I could have took a picture, but yesterday on my way home I saw some exotic coming up in my review pretty fast. When he got up to me he paced with me until I got over to exit, then he took off like a bat out of hell. Sweetest sound I have ever heard. Not sure if he was trying to figure out what the hell I drove, knew what it was, or was in shock it was a Scion. Lol.

He was driving a Mclaren F1.

It's quite often this car gets complimented. Sport cars drivers have similar ideas of what a 'sports car' looks like and they're always on the prowl to get and give compliments. I feel quite lucky and comfortable to pull up next to an exotic and exchange nods of approval and a couple times, the "hang loose" sign.

Always have a camera handy . You never who's looking in as you're looking out.

whenever I see an exotic pull up next to me or passing by, I feel compelled to roll down the window so I can hear its motor/exhaust as it passes. I need more of those sexy sounds in my life...

Had a husband and wife stop to admire the car earlier tonight and ask questions. The first thing the wife said was "I don't think I've ever seen a car I like more!"

Got to talking to the guy and he said he has a Lotus Elise! I encouraged him to go test drive a FRS or BRZ so he could see how special these cars are!

Spent the day foaming, washing, claying and waxing with @Kamakanani0! Then drove over to the naval base for a quick shoot with the USS Hornet!
