Since everyone here likes the Aventador (yes, everyone dammit!), here's the first Roadster finished in white.

 

 

Oh man. Love that color.

 

I would kick a baby for 30 minutes behind the wheel of that car

wait, what?

 

You would kick a baby for 30 minutes while behind the wheel?!?!?!

Talented you are sir.

 

Al-Khalifa's garage (some dude in the Middle East)

 

 

They are all screaming "drive me!".

 

 

That's a museum, not a garage.

 

damn i havent been to C&C in a while. This was posted on fb from last weeks. That aventador has one hell of a stance!

 

I dont see how the i8 which is gonna be a pretty damn expensive car will be better than the tesla in any way, other than it can use gas

and its probably gonna cost as much as the tesla. BMW may have shitted themselves with the the tesla's stats.

Sears has Craftsman 3 ton pair for $29.99.

 

Been a slow few days at work recently after the first CLS63 came through. 2nd came in today as well as one of our first LS-F Sports. Both so luxurious inside.

 

Holy moly the new LS-F looks aggressive as fawk. Want.

 

The F sport is awesome, but those wheels....

 

holy god... you're right.... I thought, "how bad could they be??" uh yeah,

car is sick tho.

 

xWhatever on the F Sport... That's a looker.

 

I'm fairly surprised at Clarkson's car of the year..... the Toyota GT86

http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/j...gt86-2012-12-7

 

Hopefully they review it next season.

Is it surprising because he's not picking some lambo or aston?? Or do you think the car doesnt deserve it??

 

 

^ No frickin way!

That would be awesome. Choice of 6MT?

 

It's surprising because last time I checked, he's a snub grumpy guy who is not a fan of pretty much anything made outside of the UK. I would not have expected him to pick an exotic, just something more on the 'conservative' side of things. I think the car deserves it, it seems like it made a pretty big splash this year and was a good thing for the auto industry, generally speaking.

 

high price, at least compared to what I see here, maybe it's just because I'm in Chicago (?). I see deals for driving F430 or Gallardo's at the track for similar sessions, and they cost $150.

 

oh oops just noticed RPhilman is in Chicago too hehe

talking about deals like this:

this is a pretty terrific and opportunity btw, I mean it's one luxury to get to drive these cars at a track, but it's an entirely different luxury to not have to worry about having to repair or perform any maintenance on the car after the event is over..

 

one difference I found - you get 5 laps in the CTS-V, versus 2 laps in the F430, Gallardo, R8 or 911.

 

Hell, for 160 bones that's an awesome deal and would love the experience. I should keep my eyes open for future opportunities, then.

 

i agree with the exotic bit but not the fact that he's a fan of nothing made outside the UK. He's notorious for owning AMG mercedes, lambos, ford gt, i'm sure ferrari's as well? He love the M3.
But yea, him not picking a car thats so expensive is surprising. Maybe its the fact that he had so much fun in this car and its so cheap.

 

Clarkson tends to like cheaper cars, but they have to really wow him. Look at his opinions of hot hatches.

 

I think he's simply a fan of well-balanced cars, regardless of price point. May seems to be the one who likes cheaper cars in general.

 

^^ maybe I don't know Clarkson's tendencies too well.



random photo I liked:

 

So like, I sat in the Evoque recently. I won't lie...I really like it.

 

Sat it one at the Phx Auto show; it's a really nice vehicle.

 

Still, of the CUVs in that market, I think the Cayenne's interior takes the ...

Mmm...

 

Yeah, well, Porsche pricing - "Oh, you wanted a steering wheel in your vehicle? Well, that will be part of the special 'Actually Drivable Package' for the generous price of $9,450!"- says the nice salesman.

 

Hey, if you wanna play, you gotta pay.
