Default Saw one on the road in Louisiana

I was eating breakfast this morning and was about to go to class, (summer classes to graduate early) and as I looked up I saw one cruising by. I didn’t recognize it at first and when I did I nearly choked and started screaming that’s it, that’s it. My mom thought I was a mad man. I wanted to go run after it up the street, but remembered I wasn’t five and people might have been watching . It was hemi orange and all I could say was wow. The car has a presence that is unmatched. That moment made my day.

To clarify: I was at UNO (university of New Orleans) Lakefront campus when I saw it.

The 1st time I saw one I drove right past it. I got about 100 feet down the road before my brain knew what it had saw. I hit the breaks and did a 180 but he must have turned off some place.

Haven't seen one on the road yet here in Shreveport. A dealer in Bossier City has one in the showroom, that's the only one I've been able to see in person so far.

Excellent, it's a shame you didn't get a chance to get some pics though. You never know, there might have been a crowd that would have done that as well so you might be in the norm.

Wish I had as well. I checked the dealer inventory at a nearby dealer, and they had two on the their lots, A black one and a silver one. I saw the balck one up close and wow! Nothing like it on the road.

No reason a guy cant take an opportunity like that to behave like a five year old joey. I think a large majority of us on this board would back you 100% if you had...
