so wicked.


btw how often do you see *2* 928's in one day? I saw an older one at a Ferrari event, and then a little bit after saw a 928S4 on the Transformers 4 set.. #mindblown

The price I saw was about half a million euros. But given it just destroyed the 'Ring, it sounds like it's worth every penny.

Absolutely. Technical marvel, IMO. One of the pics I posted has the time chalked up, I believe.

Very rich people (like BoostedJack and Altegris) have it tough.

It'd be nice to see a Civic that made more than ~200 horsepower from the factory. They've been in that area for almost a decade now.

^ Black wheels in general, or on that car? I agree with you about how they look on that Lambo, and not a huge fan of the mods list. But cool otherwise.

I have a question.

How does car insurance work with going to the track?? Or does it not work at all because you went to a track? Is any damage to the car there going straight out of your wallet? Even if its someone else's fault?
