You get used to seeing them, especially regulars at the places i used to work at. The owners stall their own cars, is kinda funny IMO.
Of course, you can't go crazy in a car like that. That's how u crash em' :/ |

Yea, I saw a Ferrari locally...yea, the guy was slipping the clutch WAY TOO MUCH, and almost stalled it like 3 times. And that was just in the 45sec that I was there... It's sad. Shoot, if it were me, I'd take pictures of all of them...doesn't matter how many you see...it's still a Farrari! You seen any Carrera GT's?

Tight job though...I got one better...
I use to 'park' cars at the bilo center (Greenville's stadium for basketball and concerts and other events...) but I was the guy in the yellow vest with the flag that charged you $5... Best story I have is that I had the girl that was from SC that was on survivor park in my lot...she was like her-"yea, you a fan of survivor?" me-"no, not at all. I've never even watched it..." her-"you didn't see me on the news?" me-"I dont really watch the news..." *slightly awkward pause* me-"that'll be $5.00" |

LOL, she wanted attention haha.
I was at one of the restaurants. Then this blonde, with sorta a paris hilton prototype comes to valet with me. She's 'like" paris hilton except for the fact she had a hot bod and a pretty cute face. Anyways, this girl was amazing. She was driving an M3, manual and everything. I got in the car "God damn, manual and everything" so I don't give her a ticket that way I can keep the money that she payed for the parking. So once the girl comes out I start talking to her. "Damn girl, u drive manual that's badass" she says "you know i don't **** around" so I tell her i took joyride in her car and she tells me "whatever makes you happy- here's your tip" bam! $50 !@!Y#!&* Never seen that angel again ![]() I also had a few funny stories. |

When I said supercar my definition is different to what most people think. Supercar to me means no nonsense car (no AC, electric windows etc basically road legal race car) with insane horsepower and RWD or AWD (FWD is just stupid). I have driven exotic cars and yeah piece of cake but supercars are a different story. And for something really retarded the hardest car to drive that I have been in is a 300hp prelude that just could not be driven smoothly. It just lurched and wheelspun everywhere and even the owner admitted that it was a useless car to drive but racing it was a different story
and it hardly what I would consider "super" |

It's a street legal F1 Indy car... It's so light that you have to go faster around a turn so you dont spin out. And it doubles the power/weight ratio of the Bugatti Veyron. The top speed isn't anything near the Veyron, but it'd kill it in any reasonable race... |

If you look into that thing, it's SOO INSANE! Look up when Top Gear drove it...and listen to what happened when other people test drove it... And watch the test drive...CRAZY!

Supercar doesn't mean expensive (atom 2 still a little pricey but can outdrive almost anything for that price) and you would be surprised how upbeat I can be in bad situations. I let a girl drive my mr2 trackcar and she crashed into a bank with me in the passenger seat . I proceeded to make a smartass woman driver remark and then laughed and said "you better run" before unbelting and running off cause we had one minute before the next car came down the course. The car was sitting at like a 60 degree angle upwards on the bank which made for an interesting retrieval (and exiting the car was interesting to). My faith in woman drivers has been shaken.![]() |
