Semi-related (only cause blue):

Came across this today. Thought I'd share in case you know someone who is looking. Under 600 miles on this Scud!!

Thank you my friend.

Very unique color combination. So far, I don't think any my buddies are looking for a Scud but if they are I'll direct them towards this. I can't believe it has such low mileage. Kind of sad in all honestly, as it means the owner never really enjoyed it, let alone unleashed it on its natural habit, the track.

Also, my Italian is rusty but "grigio" means grey, not blue. Blue is "blu".

You're welcome. And you're right on two counts - sad that the owner never even passed the break in period, and the paint name is wrong.

I just looked up that paint name. It is a dark grey. That color looks more like Tour de France Blue.

Oh well maybe they just mislabeled it in the ad. Who knows. The pictures aren't in the best light, so I really can't tell.

That's what I thought until now. I looked at the pics again. Sorry I was wrong. I think the car is a dark grey. It's not a common color and it looked like dark blue on my iPhone.

It's actually a cool color!

Very understandable and yeah it is cool. I think this and grigio silverstone are really nice for grays.

However, if it was up to me, I would go with a Rosso Corsa, Blu Tour de France, Bianco Fuji, or Nero.

The blues and Rosso Corsa are my fav for sure!

Oh and I forgot to mention Argento Nurburgring. A great silver. Did I ever tell you my good friend has a Scud in it?

An Enzo in it for reference:

So many good colors! Man they make nice paint tones.

Yes you told me about that awesome Scud. Very lucky!!

This is how HDR photography should be done.

You've got to plan a trip up to NW Arkansas if you never have been up there!

Wow. Thanks for sharing that. You could probably hear that Vette for miles.

Concerning NW Arkansas, I definitely will have to plan a trip up there, as those roads looking amazing.

It's insane, and it was louder when he bought it! It's supercharged, 700 rwhp, with a Corsa exhaust.

Let me know when you're thinking of heading up that way. I can recommend a good route, and perhaps it would work for me to meet up with you.

Geez that's incredible.

Will do. I know my oldest grandson, who is about to be done with college for the semester, wants to a road trip with me (I don't know why he would want to hang out with an old fart like me), so maybe sometime this summer. Either way, I'll definitely let you know if I'm in the area. Also, barring a major shake up in my garage situation, you'll either get to drive one of my GTs or my 12C,if you want to that is.

Wow - that would be amazing! Thanks for the offer.

Hope you and he get to take the trip together; would make some great memories for you both.

No problem. I feel like everyone should have the opportunity to drive interesting cars if possible.

Yeah we'll see. He already has a summer internship lined up, so I don't know how he would have time for a trip, but the kids these days are quite crafty.

Very nice.

I completely agree. I might have already mentioned this to you, but one of the greatest joys of owning my car these past two years has been letting my dad, siblings and friends drive it.

Those kids are crafty... So jealous of some of them with their "gap years" and world travels!

Very cool.

Oh yeah I know. I'm amazed when my kids and grandkids tell me how their friends go on these month long trips to Europe and stuff. Heck, I'm pretty financially stable and I don't even go on month long vacations.
