2-Fer
Last night, I saw a gorgeous '06-'08 red "V" with chrome wheels, as I was leaving the Old Spaghetti Factory in Rancho Mirage, CA. (Looked a lot like your car, Patrick...) Two guys in it. Told the driver "Great car!" and he said that he loved it. I was driving "Daphne", and he smiled when he noticed I was also in an XLR.
Then, a coupla miles later on, I pulled even with a black base XLR heading east on Country Club Drive. I honked and waved, but the guy driving it seemed to be in his own world, and he just slogged along, about 10 mph under the speed limit (50). Oh well...
