Default Drophead Phantom

Suz and I went for a sunset beach drive in our Jeep last night. After it got dark i looked in my rearview mirror and all I could see were ultra bright rectangular led running lights about 3 feet off the ground coming fast.

I thought I was going to be creamed by the batmobile.

Just off the beach road, it turns 4 lane. I hear this jetlike wwwwoooooooooosssssshhhhhhh and a giant white rolls royce phantom drophead comes around me wide open. The wooooooossshhh perfectly describes the sound it made.

All I could think of was....what a boat.... Sure enough when I looked up the car today they said it was designed with the thought of a J class racing yacht in mind.

I guess they got it right.
