Took Barbera to the beach

"Barbera" wanted me to take some shots of her on the beach. So I drove down to St. Simons Island, GA to find a spot. Here are a couple of pics. The first picture is what a round-a-bout looks like on the GPS. I had never seen that before, so I thought it was cool. I thought it had something to do with a hurricane evacuation route at first.
It was a wonderful drive and no speeding tickets! I have learned that it's ok to drive her at or near the speed limit.

True...many people will say "oh a wonderful color" and stuff, while thinking to themselves "omg I'd never drive a cherry colored car".

I know a guy here who owns one and is trying to sell it for over a year now, even for 4-5k less than market value, he's having trouble getting rid of it..

Please take no offense OP and other barbera red owners. It's still a wonderful car regardless.

So you made a 5 and a half hour journey to the beach, just to take some photos

You should drive it to the UK, that roundabout sign would be permanently on your dash
[possibly the best traffic control invention ever, even if Clark W Griswold struggled with it lol]

I wonder how the NAV handles this < it's a real roundabout (or roundabouts lol)

I must drive up their one day and see what happens

As for the colour comment, lol @ 7/11... Although his car doesn't look like Darth Vader's sex slave it does resemble an in-season sanitary pad I suppose

Wow! That is a super roundabout! Looks complex. They would definitely have to go in and rescue Mr. Griswold from that.

I equally disagree with 7 Barbera Red is the best color choice for the 7

And plus, his 7 is floating off to Africa as we speak. Therefore, his opinion is irrelevant
