    Great find Nick! I saw (and missed as usual :/) black 650 Spider somewhere in a mountain range in NC last Sunday.

    @Lamborarri thanks man! There are a TON of nice cars in the mountains, but when they're out for a drive they can be hard to catch. I've only seen a couple of handbuilt cars, muscle cars, and Supras during various recent trips to the mountains, although I haven't been at extremely optimal times for spotting.

    @NCspotter. Hi Nick. It looks like this Saturday the sun will make an appearance so hopefully the owners will take advantage and get their cars out of their warm garages lol. So how is school treating you, as well as your job? Staying up for the entire 24 hour race has killed my sleeping lol. I'm getting way too old to stay up for that long lol. At least Ferrari could of won Ha,ha.Talk with you soon brother.

    @Horse-Power looks like the weather will be like that here as well! I will be in Charlotte this weekend, so I definitely want to do a little spotting on Saturday! I am just taking one class this semester, as it is the only thing I still need to knock out another associate program. I'm actually looking for a more regular job because I've just been doing intermittent work at my uncle's ski shop this winter haha. Hope everything is going well on your end? And man, I remember pulling an all-nighter when I was about 15 or so, and I could hardly keep my eyes open the following evening during supper! I'm definitely way too old to do that again as well lol. Take care and I'll talk with you later.

    @NCspotter. Hi Nick. I am most definitely ready for the spring time. Nothing really going on here. I am starting to think about my next track day. I really want to try a new venue since XX has added so many new tracks across the U.S. I may head up to Chicago in June. I really want to drive the McLaren 720 this year. Last year I did finish up my wish list in fine style with driving the Aventador SV Roadster, Aventador S, and the Huracan Performante. As you know I was really disappointed with the 488. The car I truly loved was that SV Roadster. I did drive it for around 10 miles with the roof removed, and I was in automobile Heaven. I did punch it on the on ramp to I95 as well as a few bursts on the highway. Traffic was the issue. I wish I could of drove it on a track so I could see the difference between the regular one. As I related to you in the past the Aventador is one of my favorite track cars. Anyways brother I will talk with you soon.

    @Horse-Power wow! I can't imagine what driving an SV Roadster is like! You must feel like you're on top of the world with that screaming V12 and the wind in your hair. I would just be happy getting to see a 720S in person. From what I've heard, they've really turned it up to 11 with that car, and I personally think it looks amazing, although its looks seem to be a bit polarizing to a lot of people. What do you think of the new Corvette ZR1? Chevy lapped one at VIR earlier this week, and it broke the production car record by over a second (which had been set the previous week by the new Ford GT). Wherever your interests lie, we're sure living in the golden age of automotive performance, that's for sure. Thanks for your comments and I'll talk with you later. Hope you have a great Super Bowl weekend.

    @NCspotter. Hi Nick. Congrats once again on your Aventador S post brother. It looks so sinister in black sitting under the night sky. I love the C7 Corvette. When I had the chance to drive a Z06 awhile ago I was really impressed with the manual gearbox. I would love a second crack at one equipped with the paddle shifters! The ZR1 would be very high on my list to spot one, and to drive one. On Friday I finally had a chance to finally drive a Lexus LC500. It was a used car with over 5,000 miles on the odometer and she really impressed me. The 10 speed gearbox was over the top but she did pull strong even in 6th on the highway. I had her in sport plus the whole time and was impressed. Especially with the exhaust note. To top my day off on Friday I spotted a rare car that will blow your mind! I don't know if lightning strikes twice in the same spot but for spotting the F&B Restaurant had a really bad storm once again. LOL. First the F12 tdf, than the 918 and now a stunning rare British girl with a production of only #99. Anyways buddy I hope your week goes well for you, and I will talk with you soon. Once again great catch on the Lambo!

    @Horse-Power I will admit that while I've always thought the Corvette was a nice and capable car, I never really could envision myself owning one, but the current generation has really changed my mind. It's one of my favorite cars currently available, and I'd definitely love to have one someday. A Grand Sport in dark blue with a manual would be my preferred spec. That's really cool about the Lexus! They look so stunning in person, and it's great to hear that it seems to drive as well as it looks. I saw your latest post and about couldn't figure out what to say! I think you've got another very serious contender for Spot of the Year with that find buddy! Anyway I've had a great past 24 hours; got to watch the Eagles win the Super Bowl over the Patriots, and today I stumbled upon an Aston Martin Vantage with a very nice owner who let me sit in it. I got some pics and will share them on here soon. Take care and I'll talk with you later.

    @NCspotter. Hi Nick. I don't have to go into this, but as your brother I have to tell you that Xtreme Xperience does have a C7 Corvette in their lineup lol. I have not tried it myself, but I was told by the staff that the car is very fast. Some did not like the paddles, and kept her in automatic. Anyways buddy it's great to read that your weekend went well for you. Sitting in that Vantage is the icing on the cake. I did not watch the game, my fiancé and I stumbled on the show Game of Thrones on Netflix so we were in doors all day due to the rain. I will be looking forward on your next post. Have a fast week, and I will talk with you soon.

    @Horse-Power I'll find my way into the driver's seat of a Corvette eventually haha! The Vantage was one of the earlier models (with the 4.3 V8, manual trans) and had been custom ordered in the closest shade Aston had to rosso corsa. I had never seen an Aston Martin in that shade of red before, and while it was pretty cool (and definitely unique), I think black suits that car best. I have never actually watched Game of Thrones before, as I mainly just watch either car-related videos on YouTube or sports. Anyway, thanks as always for your comments, and I'll talk with you later. I'll be heading down to Charlotte later this week but will try to get a couple more cars posted on here before I leave.
