I love Windows 7. Drag the pic to my desktop, then a folder and it's automatically added to my rotation.

LOVE the Supersports. That thing looks sinister with the matte black paint and black wheels.

I'm not usually a big fan of the whole murdered out/matte black the whole car thing, but it REALLY works on that car. It looks like it wants to eat you.

Yeah the whole murdered out thing is getting old but the Bentley looks great. Maybe because the body is a different finish of black than the wheels. They are both black but since one is matte and one is gloss, they give enough contrast.

That makes me think of Jeremy on Top Gear talking about the E-Type Jags.

One day I'll make it out to Laguna Seca. One day

pardon this brief interruption in the program but I felt highly inclined to post this video in here due to its relevance.

I don't think I'd consider posting the video a re-post. I only did the pictures a while back.

St. Antoine was kind of a cheese-ball in the vid, but the content overcomes that fact by a MILE.

Now THAT'S the proper way to race a car against a jet. I can't believe how quick that jet is. Sick! Oh, the pilot looked rather bored driving the Vette. I wonder why.

Sorry to repost, jeebus I didn't know the 599 has 2-piece rotors



But what the heck is that shroud looking thing over the rotors themselves? I'm at a complete loss even after a quick google search. My best guess is some sort of air-directing implement.

^ I'll take 2 of those flat-black 458 Italia's

damn, that's a sexy ass car.

Costco- I'm pretty sure the rotor covers are to keep dirt and other debris off of them. I remember reading about it in C&D awhile back, but I'm not exactly sure.

^^ me too. I can't believe that it is now one of my "if I had a million dollars" cars. I hated it when I first saw pictures of it. When I layed eyes on it in person at the annual (manufacturers) car show I was hooked.
