I have to admit, if I was in the market for a new car, the ST would be high on the must-drive list.

This is the weekend I've motivated myself to get the supra up and running again. I feel like an asshole for neglecting it for so long.

I drove by the C&C here last weekend and it's MASSIVE. Much larger than the Raleigh one ever was.

I'm looking forward to the one next month; maybe my buddy with the 458 Spider will want to pick me up on the way

Someone tell Yummy to lend me some of his fantasy billion dollars, so I can buy a C63 AMG. Man, that's a fun (& badass sounding) car.

No, like most Koenigseggs, their claims have never been officially validated.

They have at least 2 or 3 Focus ST sitting on the lot at the Ford dealership near me. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place seemed dead.

I was looking at the new Escape for my father. Which honestly look great, hopefully they come down in price a bit.
