So I got some eyes on the C63 photos I took over the weekend, namely the owner of the car wash where we took photos beforehand (the owner of the C63 is trying to sell the car and had me take photos of it getting washed as well). I think the owner of the car wash wants me to take photos of customer cars there on a regular basis. Not sure on the details but that could be fun. I mean it's a high end place, they have a MP4-12C in there right now, for instance..

If I get rich, no brainer: Pagani Zonda.


But, I'd gladly "downgrade" for an Aston Martin DBS.

With Ferrari, it's like picking the hottest Victoria Secret model...I can't pick and will gladly go home with any.

And just for practicality, I'd venture that I'd take a nice Porsche as well. Mmmmm...GT2.

Hey, ttribe...this one is for you.

I know it is not an M5...but, a nice pic of your ride's family tree.

Really? Not a 360 Modena? I like the F355 too, but I heard bad things about them. I guess if you were rich then the repair bill would be nothing though.

btw: I think I'm getting old because I'm starting to "appreciate" the cars designs I grew up with a lot more than current models.

I never liked the 360 too much. it's the headlights. they look cheap and plasticky to me.

I still like the 996 GT2 with the Clubsport package, personally. Seinfield had one for sale a few years ago that was dark blue, Clubsport wheels with unpainted CF mirrors & spoiler.

The new Viper is stunning. I'm in love.
