Spotted it on 14st & 17ave SW. The guy wuz laughing at me as I took his picture. Hell with it, I was impressed with how sexy the car looked. Shame the girl sitting next to him wasn't much of a looker. Can't win em all anyways.

Pretty sure there is a guy in Bragg Creek or surrounding area that has one, saw the same R8 a few times during our day trips for field school.

Too bad he was a dick about the quick picture.

This guy is ALWAYS on 17th. Go figure, the standard douchebag drive 17th a million times.

the girl doesnt look to bad from that pic but who knows :dunno:

drove to westbrook mall yesterday afternoon and found it funny how many guys aged 30-50 drives an audi, bmw or porsche with a mid 20s girl on the passenger seat.
I hope some were driving their daughter or something.

I was at the ship and we saw this same R8 go up and down no less then 8 times! You could hear it too, so it wasn't hard to keep track.....

yeah i see him all the time around the point in feather. Black is a much nicer color for the R8's imo.

That one black panel is a real turn off. What a way to ruin the lines.
Otherwise ... nice car.

I think the panel is black because it makes the car appear shorter on the back end, I think it works well, cause if you actually look the rear end is a fair bit longer than the front .

I think it would've looked better if they had kept the black within the c-pillar.

I saw this one up at the Costco I work at once. Nice car, but I agree with the two-tone being ugly. If they wanted a different colour they should have picked something a bit more subtle.

Ah, yes, must be the one I saw on southland yesterday, first black one I've seen, looks great.

I personally like the two tone. Sets the car apart from every other super car out there...

Because it's always nice to remember a car by the "Big ugly line behind the door"

I like the black blade on certain colors. Did a track day with a white R8 about a month ago. Awesome car...
