My ride in Phoenix for this weekend- 2018 Panamera Turbo - this thing is spoiling me very badly …. Such a sweet ride. And super fast. I need one.

The MkIV Supra will never not look good. Toyota killed it with that design.

I did the same thing

Dude was driving crazy slow; nearly 15 under the speed limit. Must have been playing with the whoopee cushion function.

Idk if I categorize it as a timeless design like an NSX/GT40 but there is just something about it that makes you want stare at it. Its just a special car

I always felt that it came out and looked so far ahead of it's time. But now, 30 years later and it doesn't look dated, still seems like a modern car. In another 30 years, I'm not sure it'll look like an "antique" yet. It just seems to be ageless.

If had been years since I've seen an FD & passed one pulling out of a Home Depot. I'd forgotten just how small they are.

RX7 R1 tweaked is a very nice package, could use some additional low end torque but you can't have everything....

Wait. IS THAT A?.....



I had my wife take these pictures. She had no idea what she was looking at. Explaining it to her didn't seem to help. She felt uncomfortable taking the next picture but was a trooper and did it anyway.

Despite their reputation with the brutal brakes & the astronomical repair costs compared to something like a SL55, I have always loved the SLR.

I've only ever seen 1 in person, in SW Houston. Was working for a Honda dealer down there & a former tech (who was at the time one of the only SLR qualified techs in Houston) pulled up in a black one. Very low miles & the owner had hopped a curb in it, cracked a wheel & rotor (Front R IIRC).
MBUSA only sold the rotors in pairs (@$32k a pair). Since it was such a low mile car, they were able to get 1 rotor for something like $14k
The side-piped V8 plus that blower, makes for a pretty awesome note as he took off from the dealer.

One of these two photos was my background for yrs. Saw one for the first time in person back in 2015ish at a grand opening for a new Benz dealership

Speaking of the SLR, have any of ya'll seen the Peterson Museum's youtube video on Manny Khoshbin's collection? This guy has literally, like 6-7 SLRs.

They're cool, but damn, I'd hate to be writing checks to keep all of these maintained. I've read a few SLR owners on other forums talk about how expensive these are to get serviced.

Ed Bolian gave a pretty transparent look at the service costs on his SLR (The Paris Hilton infamous car).
Shocking for sure.
