Was working outside in that area and saw a black S5 from a distance. Couldn't see if it was a vanity plate or not, but it appeared to have aftermarket exhaust tips. Sounded louder, as well.

Lotus V8 drove right by me and sounded nasty. Really nice tone. Car is ugly, though.

Default not too many Esprit V8s around here

Last year was 2004. There's a red 04 w/ OZ mesh rims around, but more seen on summer days vs. Now.

Default I used to live right near there, but it wasn't me. A Northeastern Student with an S5 lives nearby..

May have been him.

I've put a German license plate on the front of my car, and have taken off all the badges as well as put on the European headlights. Those are probably the easiest way to separate my S5 from the numerous others in the city. I don't think anyone else has those mods.

Rare to see the Esprit! I've only seen them in the shop at the dealer in Waltham, apparently they tend to break easily. Every now and then I see a few around, a couple red ones, and a yellow and white one from time to time.

Default Im still sporting my winter tires on stock wheels for now.

I haven't seen any other S5s with aftermarket wheels except for one with HREs in Cambridge.

Default I saw a gray S5 at Shoppers World Natick today

several scuffs on it, scuffed up lip, and a bunch of furry mascots/bears inside the car.

Also saw a black A5 getting delivered at CLair tonight

Default "Student with an S5"..... <sigh>

memories of the crapbox I was a "student" with.

Legitimately had an excuse for NOT making it to class on time.
