Spotted, a red GT3 with a small guy behind the wheel, can barely see him above the door line I took the car out of storage today, will be at Downtown Porsche tomorrow getting its minor service and then off to Courtney's for some track prep work for the season. Felt great to get behind the wheel again! The car gets a lot of attention this time of the year.

Z06, the wheels are from Complete Custom Wheels, they are a one piece forged CNC machined wheel. They are fairly light and very, very strong. The SCCA World Challenge Corvettes used to run them and tons of racers rely on them. They are indestructable. Prices are about $2,800 for 18x12 and 18x9. Here is the website: http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelpr...lay.php?id=C14

Too many to remember, but two that stood out today: a white GT3 on Avenue Rd this afternoon and an old 930 Turbo - guy was smiling, not sure if at me as I passed, or just in general.

I went out to get milk and eggs today - took me over an hour to find the store located 3 minutes from my house!

Zookie parked on Cumberland in Yorkville - I was parked in the garage. Lots of other nice ones in Yorkville including a grey R8, several 911 Turbos, also a Gallardo Spyder and a yellow Corvette having some fun coming up lower University, and a nice black M6 parked on Bloor. Several convertibles with top-down..hell, even thought about it myself..

In yorkville, aqua green Murcialago! Unfortunately even though I slowed down to 40 and moved into the right lane after seeing it in my mirror, he never passed me, I could almost hear the car screaming "drive me!"

Also saw a Maserati MC12 as I drove past a guy's open garage in Forest Hill!!!!

And of course, many many P-cars littered avenue road this afternoon... it was a fantastic sight!
