Makes sense he's a doc we figured that. there is an endoscopy office right behind us which is probably where he was at.

There were actually 4 Ferrari's we were cruising with. Only managed to get pics of the 3 red ones, there was a silver one but I forget which one. They all looked like they were corporate CEO's going for a drive. They weren't racing or even going fast.

That pic is actually of Steve Bedor's race car. I tried to sit in it at Texas Motor Speedway once when he was racing the infield. Keep in mind im 6'8" and his doors are fixed. Ill try to get more pictures as soon as I can, but he is car getting more work done to it. Something is wrong with the exhaust and he wants the suspension a little tighter. He should have it back in a couple of weeks though. They have a new RGT that came to RUF a week ago. Imagine the same car, same wheels, but with light blue paint and no stickers. Now thats a show car that you could take to the track! check out the CTR3 btw. i think its even cooler. Its pretty much an extended cayman with a 3.8L engine. Oh yeah, the RGT in the pick has a 3.8 too. Dallas people, come to Texas Motorsports Ranch on weekends and you will se him. Hes fast!!!!!!

EDIT: for some reason i think Mark Plumber was racing the CTR2 sport that day. but it is Steve bedor's
EDIT2: steve bedor is in the pic too. hes driving it. IM GOING CRAZY!

haha it figures...

the first day I get the RX-8 i have this girl meet me at a restaurant...

we go outside to my car...to show her the new purchase and what is parked behind me

a ******* brand new Corvette

come on!

she really liked the 8 though and we chatted for awhile driving around aimlessly

so its all good

AND - yesterday at the gas station...a random girl came over and sparked up a convo asking "what kinda car is that"...talked for about 20 minutes at the pump

ended up exchanging numbers ....had to give the 8 a lil rub as I drove off

RX-8 - worth every penny

I watched a show where they dropped 2 turbos on one of these bad boys.. Was just insane..

Which one of these is true?:

1. He's getting ready to pass you.
2. Your 8 makes about 400 hp.
3. You are the greatest driver on the planet

The Ruf is awesome!!

I've had a couple of moments, no picture tho (don't carry camera on board).

Today, the light turns green and I take a left, 1/8th down the road and I see a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale going on the other lane, looked amazing, had white stripes running through the middle.
I was about to take an U-turn at the next intersection, but I see the Ferrari and then all of a sudden he was on the throttle it disappeared

About a week ago, I was at a Stop light and see a Lamborghini Gallardo, and an F430 flying past me.

Heres another 1 lol



edit: as u can c hole sorta in the wall, a V8 came off the track at that point and rammed into the wall only few days b4 we were there lol
Oh ... I thought it was from all the force caused by your cornering at super high speeds that pushed the track over and the fence was pushed along as well!
