I don't know what it is but it looks pretty cool.

All the best,

It's a Chrysler Crossfire. There's a reason they're not well-known. Actually several reasons.

Crazy paint job.

Amazing effect... maybe not a standard Lexus color, but a few years ago Ford offered some variations on that theme.

Hey, Doug, I’m pretty sure you’re right about it not being a standard color.

It was like a translucent pink mother of pearl color painted over chrome (or something like that). If the sun had been brighter it would have hurt my eyes to look at it.

All the best,
Mike

Might be a wrap. Seem to be increasingly common, and a lot cheaper and easier than paint. Either way, I hope it comes with safety glasses. Yipe.

How would you... rate this R8? 😉

^^ With a Lambo V-10 in the middle, I'd R8 it "fast"! 😀 ^^
I wonder if that side body panel is removable for, say, maintenance access?

And it's now 13 years old -- we still get comments on it!

^ Very nice, Doug, love the red color. Is that you? Is that your car?

I don’t know what year this Ferrari was built (or even what model it is), I assume it leans more toward newer than older so I’ll post it here.

All the best,
Mike

Mike, thanks, but not my car... The guy in the Mazda is the owner, David, who lives a few blocks away. At this point last year I didn't know him, but stopped to snap a pic of his car and he came out of the house to chat. And he demonstrated the interesting roof mechanism.

That red Ferrari is gorgeous... but then most Ferraris are!

Oh, I do have a soft spot for Porsches!

Lovely car, Doug.

Proof that it is possible to make pretty cars today, even if few do. Sweet.

 

[Doug]

Thank you, gentlemen; it does draw some positive comments... It also seems to be a radar "magnet".😱

 

[Yokosuka Mike]

Doug, that car looks amazing! I’m actually feeling envious. The color is unlike any Porsche color I’ve seen before. Is that a custom paint job?

All the best,
Mike
