That's why I missed the Dragon, I find it too hard to drive into the sun. Only night time driving for me now.
What mods?

It looks ridiculous... but I kind of like it. Reminds me of Back to the Future Part II for some reason, everything in the future is shinier.

I wouldn't do it to my car, but I think it looks really cool.
Gives the appearence that it's polished aluminum. (I know there's more than one AC Cobra out there like that).
I'm not sure, but it seems like I remember a bunch of Pontiac engineers got together and campaigned their own Trans AM car, first it was a 64 Pontiac LeManns, then later a Firebird, and I think they did the same thing to their race car. Until it was outlawed by race officials for being too dangerous because the "glare" from it could blind another driver.
I'm sure the same thing could happen on a public street, with even higher consequences.

Damn the same things come around here pretty often. Beaner started a thread about this months and months ago, he saw it at a car show in Canada, just a vehicle wrap, nothing too wild. I too like the wheels, as I almost bought them, but when I saw another XF with them, I could not do it, no matter how much I liked them.

And I posted that SLR over 2 years ago...

Tony, no problem, I missed that post as well. If John gets to uppity we show him this photo.
We can be quite cruel in Canada. We even kill cute baby seals.

Just joshing you John.

Hey Bryan...good to hear from you. It would have been nice seeing you at the Dragon this past weekend. It was my next door neighbour (car guy who has taught me a lot over the years) who saw the car while driving through Toronto today. He took the photo's and emailed them to me...I just had to share!

I would have liked to be there but... you know... a little thing called work got in the way

Share all you can. I am getting a blackberry since I never seem to have a camara with me when I need it, then watch out.. If you get spotted you will be posted in full detail! haha
