Great morning for a car guy, ironically from the seat of my bicycle. First I pass by a mom loading her kid into Fiat 500 Abarth. I stop for a second to hear the car leaving the driveway - and what a sound it makes! This must be the best sounding small car there is, at the moment. Visceral, deep and burbly with ever so present hints of effervescent sparks of crazy - sound.
Then just around the corner, Ford GT in Gulf livery - a guy just getting in. I stop again to watch him backing into the road, stopping all the traffic behind him. The car looks absolutely mint and the guy has a bit of a hard time handling the clutch smoothly without bit of a hop, rumble and supercharger yelp. Then it slowly and majestically disappears around the corner hugging most of the drive lane with its width. What a sight!
