This is from a local web board for automotive enthusiasts.
The title of the thread:
Anyone see a silver ferrari ripping it up on the Northside?
The picture the original poster put up:

Pretty funny. I can't blame the guy too much, he's driving a Civic so he can't know that much about cars.

Ha! That's not my screenshot, someone else on the orginal thread did it, so it is his/her desktop. Trust me, if you worked in my office you would quickly learn how tech illiterate I am, there is no way that could be my desktop.

I can't tell what kind of frigging car that is either - but I'd guess it's that new super duper Audi 'thing'?

I really like them. I eventually need to own a mid-engine car with a glass engine cover, not sure it will ever happen, but a guy can dream.

There's a handful of 'em running around Vancouver as well. I can usually spot one or two on a weekend, if the weather's good.
We trainspotters may chuckle but I can see why the average Joe might mistake one for a Fazza... good lookin' beasties on the road and sound pretty cool, too... very un-Audi

You could just by a Fiat X1/9 and ask PORSCHEV to help you fab up a lexan engine cover when he's done making his CGT headlight buckets

I'm not sure I have the patience to keep a FIAT on the road.

Just build one, we Canadians need to be a little more like our brittish bretheren and start building cars in our garages.

Ahhh, so you want to own it AND drive it.
Well, there's always the Pontiac Fiero

^ The Northstar V8 fits fairly well in those as well, there's one roaming the streets here in Edmonton...I doubt that's what Chrenan's going for though.
