NICE!

2 days ago i had a guy in a white Gallardo weave through traffic to get to me and give me a thumbs up. Never seen an supercar owner do that to a 'non-supercar' that's for sure!!!! Nice Gallardo too.....White with black wheels.

just yesterday i had 4 conversations with 4 different people at different times about the 1M. it's pretty crazy how much people know about this car. I would have never expected so many people to know this is a "1M" and that it's limited edition, etc...

NYC is a pretty 'social' place though and people like to talk a LOT. lol.

...when you trade in your GTR (because its not a mt) to get a 911 with mt as daily driver with the 1M so you don't put too many miles on the 1M.

Couple questions....is a Gallardo really a supercar?.....and is a 1M really not?...one of the 2 is continuing to appreciate and the other is severely depreciating....Hey I would take a Gallardo but I would never get rid of the M to do so.....

Ps: I do have some strange attachment to the 1M and should seek counseling from a professional...

Funny experience the other day, went to a business meeting & meet with the supplier, he turns round & says... I keep seeing this beautiful orange BMW in your area with pumped guards, quad exhaust & the owner is not afraid to give the car WOT... Have you seen it? He asks me.... Looks sick & sounds awesome... Blah blah, went on for a good 10 minutes... My reply, is it the same as that one just there (pointing at my car) .... Needless to say the guy. "Lost his shit"!

I love my car...

When I came out of my favorite coffee shop this morning a guy stopped me as I was getting into my VO 1M and told me he and his wife had seen my car a year or two ago parked outside the coffee shop and that his wife was so taken by it that she had her Scion painted VO and got aftermarket wheels like mine.

Quite a compliment.

At a shopping mall near closing time a granny saw me entering my car, came to me and said:
"This orange color is the best I've ever seen on a car - Really nice."

Weird scene. No, we did not exchange phone numbers.

When you pull up to a strip club at 1:30am on a Monday night and the guys there are more interested in talking about the 1M than what's on stage...

Also this month:
Gas station thumbs-up x 2
Lime Rock Orange M3 props x 1
Skater kid holla x 1
Drive-by stares: too many to mention

People call it a "unicorn" apparently.

Yes! I had a guy pull up next to me at a red light about a year ago and tell me my 1M is a unicorn. Can't recall if I posted that here before or not.
