8 Series are such a nice cars. Dad had one when I was little that sat next to his 944 Turbo. Sold it for a 5 when I got a little too big for the back.

 

Inside Line picked up a focus st and i'm really liking that car now...

but i also love the frs...

its gonna be a couple years till i get a new car, i hope at least. But its like, do i go with practicality and go focus/gti or screw practicality and go frs... gonna be one heck of a decision! Dunno why i'm thinking about it right now haha

 

Keep the TL and get the impractical choice!

 

So something old and British?

 

'Nother 5.0 came into work. Drove it for a bit, still fun as the others, but I'm not a Mustang guy, so that'll be the last of it. 2011 w/ 39K on the odo means it'll probably still go for $25,000+.

Waiting for another C6 Coupe to come in (client snatched up our last one before it even made it the used lot). Can't believe Z06s are still holding their damn value, & C6s with under 50,000 miles still fetching a hefty price.

 

^ Damn those resale values. You could get a C5 Z for cheap! Still a very capable machine too.

 

I haven't ruled them out, but they're getting harder & harder to find.


And a quick edit on the 5.0, but it's a 2011 GT w/ 4,000 miles for $25.6K. So, if anyone wants a good deal on one, Park Place has it for now.

I can say one thing - it should have a very sexy profile.

 

Chalk up the CLS63 to my AMG list. Couldn't imagine my excitement when I saw it was spec'd exactly how I'd want one; silver metallic, carbon fiber decklid spoiler, red calibers, carbon fiber goodies in the interior. And the sound. In the voice of Clarkson, it sounds like the God of Hellfire. A quick rev to around 5,000rpm & the exhaust crackles making its presence known in a sea of Lexi .

And it took serious restraint to not fully untap all 600lb-ft of torque in this button.


But in seriousness, it's a bad ass machine & just had a tiny bit of fun with it. Anymore & it would have been my last day.

 

No more pictures?

 

I have an interior shot, but it's nothing special. I'll have to remember to start taking pics outside the cars.

Clients come in rather frequently, so this owner will be back.

 

So what else is on your list? SE30 Jota, Murcielago...?

 

One day. Might happen if I ever work for Lamborghini Dallas. Am looking into a valet/porter position at Ferrari but that's a huge shot in the dark.

As far as likeliness goes, I'm waiting for a 911 Turbo, SL65, S65, or any of the Black Series (long shot lol) to come through work. Couple 991s so far & a few SL & S-Class cars, but no AMGs. I'm amazed 1 of our clients still brings her Quattroporte S through once a month.

 

My uncle gets his tesla tomorrow!!! Told me to come when the delivery happens to check it out! And learn everything too so i can teach him the techy things if its too complicated

 

That happened right in front of my apartment last month. My roommate was like DUDE YOU'VE GOTTA SEE THIS, A DODGE RAM JUST PULLED SOMEONE OVER

 

not sure if i would stop for something like that.

 

I thought the same thing. It had lights on the sun visors as well as in the grill and the headlights/taillights. No other markings on it. Had a regular license plate as well as dealer stickers on the tailgate.

 

Never seen a pickup truck do actual police work.

Out here there's a marked Dakota and new Charger, some unmarked last-gen Chargers, an F150, and a Camaro SS ()

 

I don't think he planned on pulling them over, I think they did something terribly wrong or he ran their plate. I only see new Chargers around here.

 

The state police in MA have a few pick up trucks and even a van or two. I've only see the trucks doing highway details, but I have seen a van pulling someone over.

 

I feel like I saw someone pulled over by a police tow truck in DC once.

 

The "cleanest" NSX thread actually got closed?!

The most mild, on-topic thread to ever to get closed in recent memory. whatever.

 

 

Someone took a video of the interior of the ST with ST3 package. I can imagine myself sitting in that driver's seat...

 

dem seats

 

I'd hit it.

 

 

Whoa!

 

uh, do want. not sure if accurate but it says $120k.

 

i got one of the first pics of Toyota GT86 with turbo check out the pics

 

I know we've already moved past this topic, but the county cops near my new place drive unmarked G6s and Camrys. They run really short, stubby antennas near the factory XM antennas, so theyre very hard to spot.

Up in NY, some of the undercover cops would drive Evos and STIs to catch street racers. Further out in the Hamptons, there were a few that drove M5s. My friend was dumb enough to be racing one night out there in his STI. It was him, another car, and an M5. They did two runs, then the M5 threw on the lights and pulled him over. That was an expensive night.

I've also seen cops in Astro vans and Cherokees pulling people over.

 

Damn that's crazy. I've seen a few Dodge Avengers and Durganos and such but never a M5 or Camry

 

M5!?

What are the laws there regarding street racing? Sounds like it could've been a confiscated car that they decided to turn around for their benefit.

 

isnt there a C6 Z06 that was impounded and turned into a cop car?

 

Yep, that was here in NC. It was only in operation for 3 years I believe.

 

Well that didn't take long.


I have no outside shot because well, how can you when there's 2 clients in our back lot looking at a vehicle? BUUUT, I do have a couple pics of a Bentley GTC a client brought in. Has a louder idle exhaust than I would have thought with some pretty thick rear tires as well. The interior is of course, pure luxury & very comfortable.

 

I'm jealous.

 

Le Bentley.

 

Anyone likes the new Quattroporte?
