- Who's the foo in the Carrera GT on the northbound US 101? A mechanic driving his customer's car? Flipping off any BMW on the road, driving like a total ahole and causing at least 4 near misses in 2 miles! Took the industrial way on San Carlos, so I'm guessing it's a car at a mechanic shop... Very un-carreraGT-owner'like behavior...
