And it was parked outside of a dive bar.
Seemed odd at the time until the girl driving it walked up from another bar.

Bad. Ass.
Still seemed odd. Maybe more so.
And a stock exhaust. :-\
I see them regularly out here. Good looking car. There's one at the gym with a senna-like color scheme. I'll snap a IZ_ pic for you. [cheeky]
Why so odd that a girl was driving it?
I was in Ducati a few weeks ago and a girl traded in her 1098 Bayliss for an 1198R. [thumbsup]

Bullshit.
Ducatis aren't 50cc scooters and we put aftermarket exhausts on them.
That thing, as bas ass as it is, just sounded anemic. (Granted, she never really got on it while we could hear her.)

I'm sure I could imagine.
BTW..I mentioned the one here with the Senna-like paint scheme. The car is gunmetal grey with black rims and red brembos.
I didn't know what it was the first few times I'd seen it since all the badges were taken off. [thumbsup]

Let's think about the logic behind this...
We spend what seems like a decent sized chunk of change on a bike and put an aftermarket exhaust on it.
And then we're talking about someone that drops 10 times that on a car that's probably not their daily driver and you think the price tag somehow matters?
To me, that argues in favor of them putting an exhaust on it.
I don't need your or anyone elses logic thank you very much
I'm perfectly happy in my own mind
Hunert thousand dollar Porch that sounds bad ass stock with aftermarket headers and muffs. Now it sounds wicked.

Skyline GT-R.
There are a couple of 'em running around this town. One belongs to an acquaintance who's a CT surgeon.
I was at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix for some training the day that Nissan was doing a photoshoot on the dragstrip with the GT-R before it was on sale.
They sound sick at full song...even with stock exhaust. [thumbsup]
Still sounds like a Maxima to me..

It would be a really cool car if it had those "neon" pink LED light strips in the wheel wells and a chome plastic plate frame that looks like a chain or maybe barbed wire.
That would be cool.
I guess our small town's a little different; there was a Ferrari parked outside Coyote Joe's last night, and nobody gave it a second look. I snapped a couple of pictures:

I guess the Saturn badges on it were to kinda stealth it up a little, huh?
I don't even notice the Bentley's anymore. The Aston Martins stand out a bit more.
A 5 series BMW is like a Taurus around here-it doesn't even rate.
I've seen a few around these parts. Not very popular down here.

Yeah, around here in Hollywood it's common to see Ferraris, Maybachs, and Lotuses.
But mostly I see beat the hell Tercels with an occasional AMC Pacer.

It's that way here in PHX/Scottsdale on the weekends.

There were several other "dream cars" out that day, including, McClaren, Pantera, Ferarris, Lambos, etc.
The Bugatti though!! [thumbsup]
I attempted to get a picture of it today, but almost killed myself while doing so... I DROVE NEXT TO A FK'N ENZO for about a mile. DAMN that thing sounded like the devil himself having an orgasm. It is super low to the ground and about as wide as the entire lane.

I seem to be parking around Maseratis a bit lately, I'd say at least 3 or 4 times in the last two months in random spots around the city.
I often see a black GTR in our parking lot when I'm showing up for work, it belongs to Donald Sutherland. Not what one might expect him to drive, I would assume a Cadillac or something like that.

Not really. The GT-R has been around for quite some time. It's current form since about 1989 but originally started in the 60's. The Skyline will always be badged a Nissan (except when the name belonged to the Prince Motor Company).
It may have more upscale refinements that you expect of Nissan's luxury division Infiniti, but that's all they are, a luxury division.
The current GT-R is a beast, the most powerful one from the factory. Here in Japan, there wear their proper name "Skyline GT-R" as there are various versions of the Skyline here that have different names in different countries. The standard Skyline is sold in the U.S. as the Infiniti G35 (G37)...

I see a silver one quite a bit when I go to work. It's parked in the lot next to my office.
I have put some racing stripes on a couple here in africa already [roll]
I've never been much of a Nissan fan. My cousin sent me a picof an Enzo FXX. He's a mechanic at the local Ferrari dealer. Now that Enzo is sick!! Not street legal.
so can i get soul installed in my car/bike as an aftermarket part or does soul have to be OEM?

No offense taken, though I do like my 2003 Nissan Frontier. Almost 100,000 trouble free miles so far.
