I was about to be seriously pissed about the waste and destruction of a beautiful thoroughbred Pagani for use as a freaking wall! If it indeed is just a replica then that is actually a really cool idea, but to ruin an actual one lock it up in a condo like that would be a complete and utter abomination. I already dislike the fact that most supercar buyers view their cars purely as investments and very rarely even drive them but this kind of thing is just beyond the pale!

 

Who?

 

Yasssss... ultimate now

 

I think this replica was quoted at $1.5 million (Rs have listed for $3-3.5 million on the used market) which isn't too surprising as the shell still built using the same technique as a normal one, the carbon just isn't strengthened to hold an actual power plant. The body doesn't appear to be as aerodynamically advanced as the real cars, either.

 

If he wanted to ruin a real one, he would've just used the real R he owns. Or maybe his Zonda F.

I would've stuck with his original idea and just commissioned an AMG engine for display.

 

some of you probably already seen/heard that a GoldRush Rally Huracan Performante caught fire in St. Louis.... luckily everyone is OK but the car... not so much. Apparently it was the result of driving away with the nozzle still in..... caused an explosion and then this....

 

i drove away with the pump nozzle still in my gas tank before....Didn't blow up
something smells fishy with that explanation

 

these Italian cars run hot as f*ck back there man - I believe even a drop of gas near the engine can cause a big problem.

 

that is how you do it.. i ordered mine with CF trim too... except that mine is probably fake.

 

Mmmm...it's quite possible the Owdee version is fake too?

 

You have to pay for it.... and mine is free... so yours gotta be more real than mine

 

That's faulty logic. It could be a $900CAD fake.

 

Yeah I'm with crabs.. either car or user.

 

Rambo driver was probably a . Dunno how to drive.




And I'm not wacist if I'm wacist to my own kind.

 

$900CAD is what? $5USD? Must be fake.

Congrats on the new car! The S5 SB is an awesome car!

 

$34,50.

But thanks! Congrats me when it arrives.

Still no ETA but, that would not have changed since my preorder on Thursday.

 

The current theory is that this is an older station that doesn't have the auto-locking fuel pumps in place for when the hose gets detached.

The Lambo had just pulled up and owner went inside. Gas sprayed on the car and the motor was just hot enough to ignite it near instantly.

 

So.... as i was tracking my 340, i noticed something funny... It is 8AT instead of the 6mt i thought i ordered and it is arriving at the San Pedro Port on 7/19.... so it is too late.
and i called BMW NA and they confirmed it is a 8AT.

I kinda feel helpless, i mean i can talk to the dealer but they can't magically create a 6mt one for me and i need to return my current car by end of this month.
I could extend my lease to order a new car but there is no more 2018 allocations.

I mean i am kinda fucked
If i knew it was 8AT, i would have just stayed with the 540...I could try to talk to the dealer to give me more discount, but i am not sure how much more discount they could give me since it is already 20% off MSRP.

 

Worst excuse of going to AT...EVAR.

 

Hey, my order sheet says 6mt. So someone fucked me up and i dont even know who

The weird thing is i am not even that upset.... maybe i am just getting too old for this shit.

 

So you're getting less and paying more.. smells fishy..

 

Get it fixed or get the 5 series back if AT

 

what you mean? i am paying less than the 5 and getting the same (6mt and 8AT are the same price)

 

Oh I thought the 5 was less.. anyways.. wtf?!?!

 

Technically if they fucked up, they need to fix it and you're not responsible for turning in the ride correct?
Or you should get a loaner for the mean time.

 

ohh 5 was in the $7s and 3 is in the $5s.

 

Yes somoene at BMW fucked up... but at this point it does not matter since there is no 6mt available on the lot. The car just does not exist.

Turning the car and my new car are 2 separate things, i have to return it unless i extend my contract of my current lease.
Also just because i ordered the car, doesnt mean i have to buy it. The deposit is 100% refundable.... unlike ahem Canada!

But what am i gonna drive if i dont accept it

 

I will go talk to them to see if they can give me some magic # on the M3 on their lot ... hey you never know until you try.

 

Won't you be in Shanghai.. you have time

 

M3..

 

probably 1.2k

 

Just tell them they effed up and RC-F's are going for the same price as a 535

 

I was hoping to get the car before i leave... i thought it arrives at the port on 7/19 and i probably could pick it up end of this month before i leave... all calculated and ready to go until they dropped this bomb on me ...

Anyways... we will see... I think the M3 is a long shot... i mean i was in the car business, they would rather not do the deal than losing $$...

 

Nah.. they are in the high 8s and low 9s now...

 

rarely people go from BMW to Lexus.. rarely... they know i am bluffing since it is my 3rd BMW with them already.

 

Yea, my friend forgot he ordered a 5 series, so he was like "should I just get my deposit back" I'm like, you can do that?

 

Your friend must be pretty ballin if he can forget about the deposit he put down. i think about mine everyday

 

He's not a super close friend.

Dude is wealthy I guess. He has a decent lineup of cars.
Aventador
R8
M3
Model X
Stinger
A8
X5

 

I know stinger is a decent car and all but wtf is it doing in his line up

 

Just buy some sh1tbox Civic for $4k and drive it around for a couple months while they build you a new one.
