    I just got back from a business trip to Shanghai.

    Saw two F cars by where I was staying. An 812 that had just been loaded onto a rollback, and a 488 with a kid and his friends taking pictures standing on top of it. I dont get it...

    Owning a fast car in Shanghai seems like a tough thing. Speed cameras literally everywhere. Everyone drives the speed limit. Also another odd thing I noticed is that I never heard a horn honk after 8 days. Not once. I asked a friend who lives there, and he said it's banned to honk horns. Strange!

    Im guessing there must be roads outside of the city where there isnt such tough enforcement of speed limits.

    Wow! The 812 is almost as big as the whole flatbed rig.

    Horn honking is illegal in Switzerland as well. And I haven't even mentioned our speed cameras yet.

    my guess on the 'standing on top' phenomenon is many folks take photos next to a Ferrari. Standing on top conenentates one of 2 possibilities.

    1) You are a huge *********
    or
    2) You own the car (not just standing next to somebody's elses)

    Really, it's just a big skateboard.

    I think it is a multi-day trip to get out of the city;)
