Within about an hour, I spotted a red 360 Spider and a 430 Scuderia Spider -- both in Burlington.   Not bad for November!

I don't recall seeing deer warning signs on the DVP.  I take it, it was a mess?

It wasn't too bad. It was funny seeing 3 cops just scratching their heads in the middle of the highway.

Must admit I don't follow the Lexus brand that closely but I was following a silver car this morning for quite a distance before I realized that it must be fairly new. An HS250.
He was ahead of me the whole way in a fast group of 5 or 6 at times at 145! :o
Didn't get a picture but the back end was like this.

Some are just born with a natural sense of style. All the rest of us drive boring silver cars.
One day we too will be swans :P

Says the man with a Cayenne in the family!  :rofl2:

I don't think a lambo could look bad in most colours, maybe it was that eye piercing (Mustang/BMW) blue that Jeff doesn't like.

Looked like this, it was really ugly.

OK, it's not great, but it's not awful.  I can't imagine ordering it in that colour would do the used price any good...

This light blue is much nicer...

I guess people buying these cars don't really care too much about resale value, lucky bastards.
