White T-Rex sighting and Yellow FD!

What an eventful day I had today. After washing the car I had to return a few movies. I'm on CA-17 and I see a white T-rex a couple cars ahead of me. I try to get through some traffic and after what seemed forever--everyone was trying to talk to him--I made it up to him and took a few pics with my phone. They arn't that great since I was attempting to get a shot without taking my eyes off the road so I just aimed and shot. I've seen some videos of them before, but never seen one in person. Such an awsome toy to play with on the road I'm sure.

After returning the movies, I decided to take San Tomas all the way back home. On the intersection of San Tomas and Homestead, across from me I see a yellow FD. We flashed our lights and waved as we passed each other. Was pretty modified from what I could see/hear. Exhaust, bov, wheels, looked to be 99 spec lip, and I couldn't see what else. Again took a quick picture with my phone but he was too far away to get any kind of a good picture.

If it was anyone on the forums, let me know what you have! Very clean FD.

Yes, that was me & the wife on our way to pick up the SLK (getting its front end aligned at a place in Santa Clara). Nice blue FD.

Likewise - nice meeting you. My FD is running stock twins, ported motor, and every other mod avail. I'm staying with twins so there are no smog hassles & I like the no lag/low end power provided by twins.

See ya,

Only the coolest thingummy ever. mmmm....2g's......

It really amazes me how some of these cheaper, lightweight cars can post such amazing numbers...some even surpassing the handling of exotics costing 100's of thousands of dollars.

That's my point. A 45,000 trex can pull more g's than a $300,000 lamborghini.

So that's a T-REX? When I commuted between OrCo and Lake Elsinore I used to see an orange one all the time. I wondered what they were. One saturday while on a regular mountain run, this guy passed me and took a 35mph turn .... well it was insane, and I drive fast.

Always good to see someone drive a car/bike the way it was meant to be driven and not just own it because the dorkus has money.
