Interesting encounter...

[TXRDRNR]

Driving home from Frisco this evening I had a car "flash" past me, due to traffic I was able catch to see what this silver streak was. Had to look on the internet to find what had some serious power, now I know just how serious it was. I had been given the fly by, by a Bentley Continental GT 2005 new with temp tags. Top speed 198, 12 cylinders, twin turbo. It was an awesome looking car, although it did not stick around too long. I think the owner was trying to run it a bit. :banana:

Saw a black one when I lived in Maine. They're pretty tough looking in an elegant kind of way.

What color was it? I've seen a dark navy blue one around here in Plano before.

I dont really like that car. It seems like the only people who own them are J Lo and the J Lo type.

Anyway, I was driving down the road the other day and saw a silver Continental as well!!! Almost swerved off the road... not used to seeing a $175k car around here! They're sweet as hell :beer:
