Default Cold and gloomy fall day photography



Cold, overcast and gloomy fall day. Seems fitting considering only 2 or 3 more drives left before it gets stored in the underground garage. So many great memories of the experiences with my RCF with the family. Looking forward to next year and plans for exhaust on the RCF.

Some days I wish I had gotten molten pearl, but I don't think I could personally pull it off! I think that sporty cars should be in loud and fun colors. Especially now with the sea of vehicles being white, gray, black.

Car looks good, man! Some Joy on this gloomy day.

Yeah I heard you guys are supposed to get about 20cm of snow.

Sucks that the car car has to go away so soon. I’m dreading putting mine away, but at least I get a few more weeks of weather suitable for driving.

Yeah, this morning I got stuck in my XRS trying to drive out of the underground garage. My XRS is still on MPSS tires since I always switch to all-weathers in the 2nd week of October. This year was a surprise. The ramp was iced so I had to get pushed back into the garage and then take a ride to the office with a colleague. I will switch the tires myself in my garage since it would be the safest as the weather is so unpredictable these days.

Wow Rolla, I just checked the forecast for your area, I knew you said you were about to put your car away but wow I did not know you guys were getting snow so early, that’s insane it’s only October lol. I still have up until early November to enjoy the F so I’ll enjoy the autum weather for Molten Pearl owners brother
Nice shots btw, gotta love the tails on the F. They literally give a verbal warning to people behind you, not to F with the car.

Yeah, last year I put it away in mid-November. This year, it has been record breaking in the sense we got lots of snow in October. Forecast says, it will warm up next week and dry/sunny. Maybe, I might be able to drive it once or twice, but yeah I will garage it for sure within the next two weeks.

Great pics Rolla. MP was my first color choice after seeing one in person, but couldnt find a MP with the options/price range I was wanting. Photos do not come close to showing just how rich/deep that color is, I believe it is the nicest factory color I have ever seen, IMO.

Thanks man. You are right, it really works very well with the aggressive lines on the RCF. Molten Pearl is quite rare and even more rare with the carbon/TVD so luckily I found a unicorn LOL. Funny thing is, liquid platinum was my first choice, but when I saw the Molten Pearl in real life for sale , I quickly got over the mental barrier of it being too flashy and decided to buy it. LOL

Looks great even on a gloomy day! crazy to think that you have to store your car. No issues here in Texas! But i bet its a great feeling when you get to bring it out of the garage again. Its like getting your car again for the first time. Can never get bored with the RCF

Yeah, definitely it does make you appreciate it more and it becomes more about quality than quantity of driving. There is some solace in the fact that hopefully, it will stay in pristine condition for many years. My daily driver has rock chips all over the place LOL
