Kinja'd!!!

He brought along his handicapped tag.

He’s the first person to get a ride whenever I buy or trade.

My grandma brings her handicap pass when I give her a ride. It’s especially helpful in downtown Chicago.

SLS and SVR, don’t need a second SUV with the wife’s Q7.

And I’ve got the winter tire package on order from the Ford Dealer for the RS, in case I need to get out in weather too bad for the R8.

My grandpa and I have a similar tradition! First day he got his Corvette he called me up and we went for a drive. He was the person that got me into cars.

The new R8 is a great choice. One of the last NA supercars! The new R8 always reminds me of this commercial:

My wife actually endorsed the trading of the SLS for the R8, think partially so she can drive it too. She was always afraid to drive the SLS for some reason.

And Suzuka is extremely hard to represent in photos. It’s more like a metallic ceramic white with a light grey flake. It’s a good contrast with all the carbon fiber and black trim.
