What's the problem? It's just got non-standard wheels and tyres. In what way is it "a waste"? It's obviously being used, so why do you presume it's being 'wasted'?

This is what I alluded to a few posts back; what’s up with it, it’s not been turned into a Bullitt/Eleanor/Shelby clone which seems to be the fate of many. Non standard wheels granted but is that it?

It's being wasted because it looks like someone has deliberately set out to make it look st.

Were you attacked by a Mustang when you were little Swisstoni?: Genuinely, why the hate?

Looks better to me and as said, I prefer that it’s not been turned into a Bullitt/Eleanor/Shelby clone. Each to their own and all that.

I don't think 'wasted' means what you think it means.

Not a huge fan of yellow cars, but that Ferrari is very pretty.

Agreed. The 458 has dated very well and will always look better than the 488 IMO.

Although very cool and all that, am I alone in thinnking the Mercedes SLR is an eyesore?

Supercar no, rare yes (to me). I've never seen one on the streets. Have seen two 1M's though, one Belgian, one German.

No and no!

Wrong car for this thread!

Why does the Californian sunlight always bring out the best in car photos? I mean it’s the same sun that (occasionally) shines on us, but photos taken in California always look more vivid.

Nope. Has a very crass look to it.

What colour is the shrubland in California. Sandy

What colour is the shrubland in the pic above. Dark moss

The surroundings reflect back brighter in California. If someone could make the lower pic have bright sandy hills behind it, the colour would resonate better
