Maserati off the NKVE

The unmistakeable 'boomerang tail-lights' caught my attention of the NKVE, Damansara exit ... yes, it was a Maserati 3200GT. But what a TOSSER the driver was, weaving in and out of traffic with little regard of anyone's safety. And he wasn't even of the Muslim faith, I thought initially he was in a rush to get home to buka puasa ... Grrrrr!

Wikipedia notes ... The Maserati 3200 GT was an automobile produced by Maserati from 1998 to 2001. The luxury coupé was styled by Italdesign, whose founder and head Giorgetto Giugiaro previously designed, among others, the Ghibli, Bora and Merak.
The most remarkable design detail were the tail-lights, consisting of LEDs arranged in the shape of boomerang. The car was replaced in early 2002 by the similarly designed Maserati Coupé, when Maserati returned to the US market. The original "boomerang" tail-lights were replaced because they did not meet US requirements for night-driving visibility.
Hmm, maybe the guy was in a rush home as it was getting dark, and he was afraid people couldn't see his car on the road!
