i did. i got there first though - plus it was an entire floor above where anyone else was parked. it was easier to pull into the second to last spot, than the last corner spot. seeing how the corner spot was HUGE, i parked over the line to avoid door dings on both sides.

10 months, no dings or scratches on the DD! ive also have yet to park in between two cars, which accounts for lots of time searching for parking.

I like looking at it... unfortunately I'm not allowed to like anything else, like how it drives and such.

IMHO, I like where Ferrari is going with this, but then again, I have always loved the curves of the Vipers and Astons. Don't get me wrong, the straight lines of Ferrari and Lambo are sick shit, but they are about the only cars that can pull it off. Personally I think the Zonda looks like poo poo, and the only reason I like the NSX is b/c it's an Acura.

A GT40 at the Baltimore Grand Prix, a Mk V replica so it's technically not a real Broadley/Wyler but built from the same prints. The tub was honeycomb aluminum and had a real ZF racing transaxle.

I was curious so I checked and JWA build is a sorta a real GT40 built by Wyler. From the web I read the Mk V was a road car and had fabricated steel monocoque

thanks, as others have indicated it's a De Tomaso Pantera. The owner was not around but my guess it was a probably a late 80's, early 90's model.

When I was a little kid my friends and I would go to the local Lincoln Mercury dealer to look at the one in the showroom.

I've already posted this 911 Turbo, but I got a better angle yesterday. I wish he (she?) would move to a spot with better lighting. Or better yet give me the keys to move it myself.
