There is an older guy who toodles around the downtown area here in an R8, must be in his 70s. I can only surmise he must have money to burn becuase the roads here are horrible and he's hitting the same bumps and holes I am so I know his dentures must be loosening and his vision blurred. The streets are also in a giant grid pattern, so you know he's not tearing around any fun canyon roads, just stoplight to stoplight in a straight line. I can't understand why anyone would spend so much for such a nice car and expose it to the absolute garbage roads around here. But it definitely has 'presence' and is surprisingly loud too, Ferrari-loud. And strange looking I agree.
