Seen a GTR at lunch

I got to say it looks WAY better in person. Anyhow, I was coming back from the local noodle joint out in Dublin. I hit up 680 and noticed a car coming up on my left pretty quickly. I kept looking and saying to my friend,

" That looks like a GTR.... hmmm is it?"

Well I slowed down and noticed it was a GTR with dealer plates (*i think it had dealer plates but what ever they were not normal plates). Anyhow, I decided to get behind him and cruised a few miles. I ended up side by side and dude throw me a dub, threw him one back. We both slowed down and just in time too. There was a CHP officer on the side of the freeway. He throw a thumbs up, sent the props back and exited.

That was badass ride!

This pic is pretty crappy since i took it quickly with my iphone. Not sure why it came out wavy but this is the best I could do in a split second.

That made my friday!

The performance aspect of that car has totally met expectations. They knew they couldn't mess around if they brought it over and they haven't.

Thumbs up to nissan.
