Default Guess the Picture + Major Complement

I went to an exotic car dealer in Queens this weekend and parked my car in front of the store. The owner comes out and says "Nice car... is it yours?"... and he has 3 cars in his window worth $400,000 (for the three).

This was a totally different complement than I have received... and was impressed. Instead of the usual complements from school kids, teens/twentysomethings in Civics, etc... this was from a man who had MILLIONS of dollars of exotic car inventory...

Now for the picture:


A very interesting functional design...

Yep, definitely a channel of the rear difuser of a Modena.

Need one on my car.

If you look very closely you can actually see the thread of the OEM Bridgestone Potenza S02 tire on the left.
My Ferrari salesman test drove my S while I test drove the F360 Spider - he said he was amazed by the S and we talked about all the similarities between the cars when I finally brought their car back.
He's a real car nut too .

Not me. I met a guy at Road Atlanta who has a blue Modena and a silver/red S2000. He had the Modena there for a track day and I was running my silver/red S2000. He actually struck up a conversation..."hey I have one of those in my garage". Anyway, the best part of the story is that he took me for for 20 or so laps around the track in the Ferrari....wow...

That wing shape you see in the picture is the aerodynamic cover for the antisway bar. Now that is cool.
