Do you have a C8? I saw a LBR C8 headed through Cloudcroft awhile back. Don't see very many around these parts...

I like it. Reminds me of a sea foam green Fender Stratocaster.

Negative. I was at 3000 for months and it never seemed like i was going to get it. My son is the champion wrestler that made the news last year for stopping a kidnapping. My hope was to travel the country in the C8 looking at schools and doing his interviews for all the people requesting interviews. Some father/son time in a C8 traveling the country. When all those opportunities came and went and i still had no C8, i sold my allocation and opted to go back to the C6 6spd that i have missed since selling a few years ago.

Ah yeah, I have definitely heard of your son, that was awesome! I ordered my C8 in July 2019 and didn't get it til March of this year...so over 1.5 years of waiting. I had sold my C7 in 2019 as well thinking that if I had waited longer, the prices would tank. I could've sold it for about 8-10k more had I waited lol. I go to Cruces somewhat often and have taken my C8 there as well...I can let you know when I do! I need to get my fix of ¡Andele! as well haha

I remember you wanting to travel the Country. Did you get to travel the Country, and which school did he choose?

I saw that at Walmart in Las Cruces today. Didn't have a camera. Not my cup of tea.

We did get to visit some schools and do a little bit of traveling, but in the family Highlander.....which is almost as good as the C8 . We were asked not to broadcast which school he chose to keep the media out of it and to allow him to focus on his academics and athletics without being a distraction. But thank you for asking about him! He is happy where he is and is enjoying the moment.

There's some sort of logo in the rear window. Might be advertisement for an interest/hobby, or a business?
Wonder which? The Aqua Green color likelihood of a wrap for the color change. I get to El Paso every so often, and will keep an eye out for it.

My wife took the photo and it's pretty clear on her phone. It says "roll flex." The image to the left is a spitting image of the Lambo logo, the bull. To the right, it's a horse very similar to that of a Ferrari or a Porshe.

It had California Plates on it, so they were probably just passing thru.
