    I saw one of these bad boys (a convertible version)parked outside of Tim Hortons today, needless to say the guy and his wife were both clearly retired (not sure what they were doing) but yeah still a fantastic car, way better in person XD (I should also mention that in the same parking lot there were a lot of teenagers showing off their crappy ricer honda's and old rusty pickup trucks :P)
