driving with your Rolex...

I don't know if some of you feel the same way,but when my left hand is holding the weel and I see my Rolly up there reflecting on the window...and the road is free ahead...man...that feels good. It doesn't really matter what you're driving,it's the "just cruising with your watch pal" feeling that makes me feel cool.

ok...next time I'll try driving a Lambo and see how it feels.

driving a automatic transmission car i use my right hand to hold the steering wheel while leaning my left arm on the edge of window so my sd is facing myself and when it is a rainy day the stainless steel becomes darker and reflects little light, i think it is a lot more elegant compared to while it is under sunlight, while driving the light kinda moving too so you will not feel it is boring to keep looking at it.

It's enough to steal JJ's car, you don't have to grab his watch too.

The Amphicar, the vehicle that revolutionized drowning!!

I shouldn't laugh, those things are worth a ton of money now!! There's a guy here in Hamilton who's had one since new, still floats it every summer.

I'm wondering if that water isn't only about 10 inches deep...

I like checking it out in the mirror because it's a little different angle than I'm used to seeing and yes it looks good at all angles.
