Photo dump incoming from Scottsdale Tires & Timepieces on October 28. Warning - I'm no photographer, but I tried to grab pictures of of some of the best cars there. Teaser - Enzo, Countach, 918, Monza SP2, Diablo SV, among many others.
Went to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago to see U2 at the Sphere (which was AMAZING, by the way) and we stayed at the Wynn. They had some F1 cars and the hotel also has a McLaren store right off the casino floor.
Wow, thanks for sharing those pics, I’m not even sure where to start. Outside of the million dollar hyper sleds, the Diablo SV and the 812GTS are probably my favorite.
Being the kind and generous person that I am, I won’t fight 00TL for the 300SL
really impressive carmeet, nice pics, again thanks for sharing.
Incredible, how the hell do you do that? I sure hope they do not own an aircraft.
I think you really have to love cars and motorcycles and be clued in. I started stick shifting a real Beetle when I was 8 and started driving (illegally) at 12 in the city. And next year, 50 years accident-free and claim-free. Never even took driver's ed for cars or motorcycles. Those having accidents might consider taking up basket weaving.

first really fast car, no experience with karting or Autocross or performance driving + cold tires. All he did was a “driving experience” which was a glorified Autocross. Plus it spent a fair amount at mclaren for repairs so I guess he got a bit too excited… but yeah, it’s a shame, he liked the car and was happy to have it, but he made it less than 1/4 mile from the office… so very cold tires… I’m sure he drove it hard at some point when everything was ready and warm, it stuck through a corner. So this time there was an expectation of grip and there wasn’t any.
A bit of a cheat because this was at cars n coffee, but I had to post a pic of the Diablo SV roadster and the f430 scuderia.. and a few others. The 812 competizione is actually the second one I saw in person. The first one was when I was in France 2 weeks ago, out in the wild driving through Paris.
And he froze instead of being calm and taking corrective action. Could I ever give you a real world example.
Remember those ABS commercials when ABS first came out showing drivers steering while their foot was hard aka locked on the brakes.They froze on the steering wheel, so what made manufacturers think they were going to steer around the object while ABS was doing its job.

Right, the moment when you realize the event isn’t playing out as it did in your head often results in a mental blue screen.
in his case, Max Verstappen entering the corner at the speed he did with the grip available wouldn’t have saved it.
I had a different experience when I was around 16, driving on an icy road in Canada, road curved (I was driving a Jeep back then). I was going fairly slowly because I had hit some ice just before, but apparently not slow enough, I started to steer but then the back started to slowly come around, so I straighten the wheel, not enough, so going to full opposite lock, then it was a stupid slow motion of skidding into a ditch at 25mph. It felt like I could stab the brakes, floor it, steer left or right, the car already picked the destination. I suspect my gray hair now would likely result in a better outcome though, after all I was the driver, I got myself in that situation, not like a meteor struck me.
