Thumbs up GTR taunting.

I have come in contact with 3 GTR's within the last 3 days. Attached is a photo of a GTR that was parked next to me as I left school the other day(sorry, cell phone quality). I will admit, most cars do look big compared to miatas, but the GTR looks just HUGE. GTR taunting.-gtrfatboy.jpg

I had another encounter on the freeway this morning with a silver GTR. Driver still had dealer sticker on it. He was barely driving the speed limit, but had a white knuckled grip on the steering wheel. My first encounter was 2 days ago, dark grey GTR and the driver was driving like a badass. Awesome engine note. Anyways, if I run into the COBB GTR I am going to take it as an omen and will be forced to buy a GTR.

I've only seen one and it was just a glimpse. Dont want to sound like a fanboy but I'd give my left nut for one, preferably an R34.

I don't know, but they are getting there. The new Jetta is the size of a couple year old Passat and the new Civic looks really big. I hadn't really noticed before, but one passed me the other day and it just looked like a large car.

Hell, it looks big compared to what looks like a Passat on the other side of you.

GSM reviewed it this month. One editor said something like "I don't care that it's a bloated pig and has electronic nannies up the wazoo. It's still the fastest car I've driven on the track. Complain all you want while I'm passing you."

+ eleventy

Even worse when it's one of those cheesy chrome ones up front with the manufacturer's badge on it, so there's a badge on the hood grill and then another just to drive the point home..

I have seen only one in person. I think they are about the size of the new Nissan Maxima. They are pretty big cars.
