June 18Jun 18 Pretty soon cars like that will be so fast they never slow down under 60mph. Their 0-60 time will be so fast it’s infinite.

June 19Jun 19 I guess I just don't understand the appeal of these crazy horsepower cars for the street. Give me 400-500 and I'm good.
June 19Jun 19 You can have a lot of fun with 200-300 hp and a manual transmission, and you *probably* won’t kill yourself. Partial PPF and full ceramic for the RR. Should make it easier to clean after the next off road session.
June 20Jun 20 But you can't do a cool burnout leaving cars & coffee with traction control on. Not with that attitude you can’t!
June 20Jun 20 Oh, and one last thing about the cars I saw in St. Tropez and on the roads between Ettlingen and there. Each of the past few years I have seen more and more Ford Rangers in Germany and France. It’s kind of cool.
June 20Jun 20 What is this? It was briefly on track at RoadAmerica as a pace car to begin the vintage session. Edited June 20Jun 20 by Prepuce of Doom
June 20Jun 20 Looks like a McLaren Elva. But I don't think they typically have a big fixed wing. Maybe a track focused model?
June 21Jun 21 As the proud owner of a wide body scat challenger (I mainly love the classic look)You rich mf’ers suck balls with all of y’all’s badass whips!I was driving my wife’s Subaru up here in Arkansas and have been consistently telling her, these roads would be fun in my car. [emoji20]

Our next door neighbor, when I was a kid, had what I think was the XJ four door series 3. It was about a 1990, or '91. And I always thought it was a beautiful car. But, as you guys said, horrible underneath its skin. It was always broken down and had an electrical system infiltrated by gremlins. Beautiful car, when it was running, or when we just stood there and looked at it.
July 13Jul 13 A varied selection of toys from the little car show in my hood today: this one happened to be a ford

August 7Aug 7 Anyone else completely meh on Bugatti? Nothing at all is appealing about those cars to me. Not in the slightest. Saw an all white one in the ATX spotters group on FB the other day that was the 1st one I ever thought...ok...I can see it... but other than that, zero attraction to those cars at all.
August 7Aug 7 I like it more than a lot of modern hypercars. I think the latest from Ferrari and Lamborghini are just uninteresting. It’s also iconic for what it was when it came out. I get what you mean though, it’s a little weird looking and not classically beautiful. It’s also mostly talked about just in terms of top speed.

They’re remarkable machines, and not like this has any basis in the current reality, but I would have to own a half dozen Paganis before I could get around to buying a Bugatti.
August 7Aug 7 I completely acknowledge their technological excellence, and I bet those W16 engines sound amazing. I just don't find them aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

But I do also agree that Bugatti never for much for me. It would still be cool to see one in person, though.

I think the Porsche 918/La Ferrari/P1 are the last ones I really liked. I would never own any sports car at this point in my life, though. They are useless where I live.

His line is “I want to look like I won the lottery 20 years ago.” His orange Diablo sold yesterday for $400K. He also got in trouble with campus police where he did those donuts, and now has to go find a pressure washer. 😂 1 hour ago, Chewbacca said: That's how I feel about the F50 and Enzo.

August 8Aug 8 No love for Pantera or Maserati? What 80s kids wall would be complete without these posters as well?
August 8Aug 8 The Ferrari 458 broke my mind when it came out. The 488 and its derivatives are still my dream cars. I'm not so hot on Lambos, although I'd take one if you wanted to give it to me, or if I could play football. In other breaking news, on Wednesday I spent just under $25K on a new Mazda, so I think I have a ways to go on the financial front before I should be posting in this thread.
