The Guy on My Block Has A..

Holy hell. I just found out that the guy on my block owns a black Carrera GT!

If you aren't aware of what a "Carrera GT" is, let me fill you in: It's a limited edition (just 1275 vehicles world wide) Porsche hypercar that has a 605bhp 5.7 litre 10-Cylinder engine and can top 205 mph.


I've already discovered two F430's on my block - both red, one of which belongs to Brian Jessel - but I never imagined someone so close to me would own such an automobile. Anyhoo, the guy with the GT, also has a silver 550 Maranello (which I had seen countless times before), but today I got real lucky.

The Basalt Black GT (newly delivered) was out on the street and I got to watch the owner (and the delivery guy) park the car in his garage. It took them some 25 minutes to park the vehicle in his garage considering the entrance slops down hill. They had wooden planks, etc to get it into the garage (lucky for me).

Unfortunately, no pictures.. As I've explained before, I broke my camera a little over a month ago; had I not, I would have had pictures to share! In any event, I'm more than sure I'll get a chance to see the vehicle again. I need a new camera ASAP!

Such a beautiful car.
