I saw a very similar white 981 spyder with black rims at Wegmans today. It was sharp.

Cobb had some interesting 911's in their shop. Lady in the shop said she also has 991 GT3-RS in that purple color.

Carmudgeonly Ride: M2C Stick

I have two but no pics.

1 - Was picking up some oil at the Marin BMW and they actually had an M2 out front for sale. First one I have seen in the flesh. In person I like it a lot. Its very stubby looking. I also noticed it sits pretty high above the wheels. Oddly so. This one also had a sunroof delete. I didn't even know you could do that. Had a sticker of $57K. Not to bad for what you get. To bad they had a mark up of $15K on it as well. Looks like its going to take a year or so to get one at sticker.

2 - A 2016 - I know because of the stock quad exhaust - Chevy SS with a full Holden conversion. Badges and the entire front clip. Man what a difference. This one was also lowered and had bigger rims and tires. I managed to get right behind him getting on the freeway. Amazing what some good springs, rims and rebadging can do.

There is no sunroof option for the US M2 last time I checked. I guess elsewhere has the option.

Wait, you can't get a sunroof on an M2? That's pretty weird.

Carryover of 1M approach maybe. Also only three exterior colors available (blue, grey, black) and only black interior available.

I saw a lot of really cool cars at Lime Rock for the IMSA race last weekend. There were several M2s at the event, and they were awesome. They're a big car, but I really want a blue one!

I also saw a blue Audi TT RS with some aftermarket wheels that looked really cool. I don't really know much about them, but it looked good. I googled it when I got back to the hotel and found they're definitely out of my price range.

The only other memorable car was a Fisker Karma. I'd never seen one in the flesh or on the road. I saw it driving through NY and was impressed with it.

No pix but seen in the past week:

1. Radical
It was driving down the highway near Lynnwood, WA which, if you know the area, is a seemingly odd place to see one. I was tempted to catch up with him and I could have as he wasn't going that much faster than adjacent traffic but I was lazy and didn't want to push it that much. Still, very odd seeing such a car on public roads.

2. McLaren . . . something or other.
One of the new ones, I've lost tract on what models are what. But it was a gorgeous orange.

3. Ferrari 308 (red of course)

4. Ferrari 458 in a dark metallic charcoal color.
