Mrs. rainy saw a car out and about yesterday that she would like to find out what was. The missus is impressed by my Google-fu on such matter, but I’m coming up with nada on this one. According to her email (I’ll edit out the mushy bits);

"The car was a white, 2 door, fast back. The Logo was a Red capital T in a round emblem. The car was sporty, but not like Porsche sized it was more like Audi sized. Not too low, but still sporty looking.”

Anyone recognize that?

thanks

I never noticed before that that dragon seems to be devouring a person!
