Those super high priced cars would be too annoying to drive around - and you can't even park them anywhere.
my wish list: 2007 911 GT3, 2010 R8 V10 MT, 2007-2008 Z06.... hopefully soon
Shouldn't those photos be in the "Photos You've Taken" or "Official Photos" threads?

Yes, technically, we can post whatever car related stuff in the thread.
But if you are just going to post the pictures of the random exotics without giving out any info, why not just post them in a separate thread like The "Photos You Have Not Taken of Exotic/Desirable Cars" Thread.

Seems like we go through this convo once a year.

I don't see any need for this to be taken so seriously.
if it bothers you that while scrolling thru this thread you see some random photos of cars, I don't really know what to tell you.

friend's mom just posted this on FB. yeee-ikes.......... 
We are both thanking God for coming out safe after an unimaginable accident. Damage to 3 cars, a garage / door - we both have some pain but nothing major. Around 7:15 PM last night we tried to park our Acura SUV in our friend's driveway to have dinner with them. Don't know what happened - the car did not park instead the car started moving forward and hit their garage door. While reversing it went so fast and hit the next door neighbor's car. After that the car started moving forward. Then spinned several times and it stopped finally. At that time we both thought that it is end of our life. Thanks to our friends along with other friends and neighbors in that area who provided all the support needed that we were able to reach home safe.

<p>Could be an ebrake failure coupled with Acura's overcomplicated control system that made their brains go derp and forget how to human. Brake pedal go stop?! I love the part about spinned several times.. like the car forgot it was a car as well. 
</p><p>Anyways, Acura tech is just bullshit gimmicks that has only opened the gates to inherent failure and user error.
