Wow, Eric (Cali2121), and I were driving on 280N and saw a black Koenigsegg CCXR...flying down the road. I did my best to keep up, but Eric kept up until he exited the freeway. Exchanged thumbs up, seemed like a cool guy.

I can't believe we saw one on the road. Absolutely amazing. I felt like I was driving a VW beetle next to that car.

Sorry, no pics, too flustered trying to weave through traffic to keep up with this thing.

Thanks Daytona!

Hey KelvinC, were you parked / waiting for someone on the corner of Prospect and De Anza Saturday morning around 9:15ish? Chasen and I were out on a group bike ride, and I think I saw your car. Commented to the rest of the group how nice your car looked!

Didn't realize it was you until I just saw your avatar, and put the two together.

Hey, yeah that was me! Thanks for the compliment...I was getting ready to go to Santana Row, waiting for my bud in a yellow Cayman to make it to the light. Do you make it out to SR often? Or is Saturday morning when your usual riding time? I'm a bit more of a mountain biker—been waiting for the weather to warm up to get out into the hills again. I know, I'm a wuss.

Chasen—it's been ages since I've seen your dad's car, when is he gonna be able to make it out to the meets?

WOW! Are you sure it was a CCXR? Those have just been released by Koenigsegg and I think they are ~$2MM!! Are there any key differences visually from a CCX and a CCXR? Sick sighting nonetheless.. Somebody else saw a 'regular' CCX in Los Altos the other day! LOL.

Also, I saw a silver '08 CL65 on Shoreline in Mt.View! Looked sick!
